One of the most important aspects of groupware systems is the concept of awareness, which refers to the perception and knowledge of the group and its activities. This paper extends a previously developed ontology-based conceptualization for the development of user interfaces in groupware systems that support awareness. Specifically, we are interested in domain-independent design groupware. We propose...
This paper presents observations from engineering ontology design sessions. We followed the entire design process of a group of engineers building an ontology for root cause analysis to be applied to petroleum pump failure diagnosis. The group was composed of experts with same background, who work in different locations of the same company. Even though they apparently share similar analysis methods,...
CSCW requires efficient support to distributed teams. Groupware is efficient but rather inflexible, multi-agent systems are more flexible but difficult to implement. OMAS (open multi-agent system) is a multi-agent platform derived from a number of previous research projects and teaching courses. With OMAS we tried to answer the problems of architecture, skill definition, protocol implementation, ontologies,...
Today in many domains there are very limited explicit ontologies established for building information systems. The information systems have only schemas for their information repositories which to some extent imply the semantics of the information. Traditional ontology-driven semantic integration approaches cannot be directly applied in integrating these information systems. In our work we use the...
In collaborative service environments, a Web site will provide more powerful function with lower cost just according to make some external Web services collaborate together. In these Web sites, how to get user requirement to arrange external Web services is very important. In this paper, Smart UI, a new smart user interactive model in service collaborative environment different with current simply...
