Universal Plug and Play Audio Video (UPnP-AV) is a widely accepted standard to enable multimedia device interoperability in home networks. In UPnP-AV, contents are managed and exposed to Control Point and MediaRenderer in MediaServer. Content Directory Service (CDS) in MediaServer is the key component to enable multimedia retrieval and delivery functions by modeling contents in DIDL-Lite and utilizing...
Network centric warfare (NCW) need to be supported by modeling and simulation systems, and the interoperability between different simulation systems is an important aspect to realize cooperation of varied military simulation systems and establish common simulation environment. However, complexities of the NCW and individual military simulation systems make the interoperability difficult to achieve...
Cloud computing has become one of the key considerations both in academia and industry. Cheap, seemingly unlimited computing resources that can be allocated almost instantaneously and pay-as-you-go pricing schemes are some of the reasons for the success of Cloud computing. The Cloud computing landscape, however, is plagued by many issues hindering adoption. One such issue is vendor lock-in, forcing...
Owing to the increasing demand of learning resource sharing, data integration is a promising approach to support system interoperability across heterogeneous e-Learning systems. One of the main problems to deal with in data heterogeneity is semantic conflict and although a variety of methodologies have been proposed which focus on name conflicts, structure conflicts have received little attention...
Lately in the industry of an information technology the question on integration of heterogeneous sources of the data is even more often brought up. In difference to homogeneous systems, heterogeneous data source systems can be described by various data models. Integration of heterogeneous data source means creation of the general scheme of the description of the given all subsystems for the unified...
Manufacturing systems engineering projects depend on contributions from several engineering disciplines. These contributions consist of complex artifacts like mechanical, electrical, and software components and plans. While the software tools are strong in supporting each individual engineering discipline, there is very little work on engineering processes automation across semantically heterogeneous...
Nowadays, the interoperability between e-commerce sites requires that information must be processed syntactically and semantically. For example, find the best product in two different sites according to different criteria, including numerical and non-numerical attributes (e.g. product name, price, product evaluation, customer opinion, etc.). We present a mashup between the sites eBay and Amazon to...
Web Services Description Language (WSDL) allows a structured way to standardize the description of Web Services, exploiting XML for the exchange of structured information. Nevertheless XML supports little interoperability between services, expected when WSDL documents have to be combined. In this context, the Semantic Web has become a promising research field. Semantic Models (e.g. RDF or OWL) allow...
Nowadays, medical information is increasingly used many hospitals around the world. Then, the need of sharing information from different sources is an obvious consequence from such proliferation of systems. Unfortunately, integrating medical information is not a trivial issue, because data and knowledge exchange among users of medical information systems present many challenges. We must deal with...
The Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), through its Standards Coordinating Committee 20 (SCC20), is developing interface standards focusing on Automatic Test System-related elements in cooperation with a Department of Defense (DoD) initiative to define, demonstrate, and recommend such standards. One of these standards-IEEE Std 1232-2002 Artificial Intelligence Exchange and Service...
Semantic integration is a key technology of heterogeneous database interoperation at present. This article proposes a method of building heterogeneous database integration framework which is fairly complete and based on ontology by the advantage of ontology semantic integration. The article puts forward semantic mapping approach based on semantic similarity of the concept name, property type and instance...
In this paper, we apply semantic web-based technologies to integrate heterogeneous data from medical information system, and design a heterogeneous data integration model, which combines Mediator/Wrapper framework with ontology, using OGSA-DAI as data accessing middleware. Mediator provides uniform query interface, decomposes user queries based on the mapping relations between global ontology and...
One of the main open issues in the development of applications for sensor network management is the definition of interoperability mechanisms among the several monitoring systems and heterogeneous data. Interesting researches related to integration techniques have taken place, they are primary based on the adoption of sharing data-mechanisms; furthermore in the last years, the Service-Oriented Architecture...
Effective electronic governance relies upon the transmission of meaningful metadata: information about intents and purposes, provenance and form. Mechanisms for the definition and communication of this metadata, and for its automatic incorporation in software interfaces and artifacts, already exist. However, there is as yet no well-understood mechanism the establishment and maintenance of an agreed...
This paper describes an ontology-driven approach for the design and execution of interoperable simulation applications. The premise of the research described in this paper is that ontologies provide the foundation for determining semantic interoperability and information exchange requirements. Two fundamental problems are inherent to simulation application integration: (i) Semantic Inaccessibility:...
In modeling and simulation, the need for interoperability can be between simulation models or, more broadly, within simulation environments. For example, simulation of biochemical pathways for glycan biosynthesis will need access to glycomics knowledge bases such as the GlycO, EnzyO and ReactO ontologies and bioinformatics resource/databases. Traditionally, developers have studied these information...
Today, there is a huge amount of data gathered about the Earth, not only from new spatial information systems, but also from new and more sophisticated data collection technologies. Therefore, an increasing number of geodata producers and users have expressed the need for interoperable GIS and for the integration of geographic information. Interoperable systems have the potential to offer a prompt...
