In this paper, we will introduce our approach for composing operation based on user tasks. It is based on Service Component Architecture (SCA). In addition, we developed ontology based on OWL and the MIT process handbook, called u-TO(universal task ontology), which can be used for users describing and specifying semantically their needs. We represent the hierarchy of tasks, and classify tasks according to views in u-TO. It aims at facilitating the modeling of complex demands or systems without regarding details of technical aspects of underlying infrastructure.

This paper discusses the design, implementation, and potential use of an ontology-based mobile pediatric consultation and monitoring system, which is a smart healthcare expert system for pediatric patients. The proposed system provides remote consultation and monitoring of pediatric patients during their illness at places distant from medical service areas. The system not only shares instant medical data with a pediatrician but also examines the data as a smart medical assistant to detect any emergency situation. In addition, it uses an inference engine to infer instant suggestions for performing certain initial medical treatment steps when necessary. The applied methodologies and main technical contributions have three aspects: (a) pediatric consultation and monitoring ontology, (b) semantic Web rule knowledge base, and (c) inference engine. Two case studies with real pediatric patients are provided and discussed. The reported results of the applied case studies are promising, and they demonstrate the applicability, effectiveness, and efficiency of the proposed approach.

A middleware in grid computing environment is required to support seamless on-demand services over diverse resource situations in order to meet various user requirements [1]. Since grid computing applications need situation-aware middleware services in this environment. In this paper, we propose a semantic middleware architecture to support dynamic software component reconfiguration based fault and service ontology to provide fault-tolerance in a grid computing environment. Our middleware includes autonomic management to detect faults, analyze causes of them, and plan semantically meaningful strategies to recover from the failure using pre-defined fault and service ontology trees. We implemented a referenced prototype, Web-service based Application Execution Environment(Wapee), as a proof-of-concept, and showed the efficiency in runtime recovery.

A core technology that may realize the Semantic Web is Ontology. The OWL (Web Ontology Language) has been positioned as a standard language. It requires technical expertise to directly represent the domain knowledge in OWL. Based on our experience of analyzing the fundamental relationships of concepts in e-catalog domain, we have developed a visual product information modeler called PROMOD. The modeling editor makes it possible to automatically generate the OWL codes for the given product information. We employ an Extended Entity-Relationship for conceptual modeling, enriched with modeling elements specialized for the product domain. In this paper, we present our translation schemes from EER model to OWL codes, and how to design and implement the modeling editor. We also provide a scenario to demonstrate the usage of the editor in practice.

Performance management is very popular in business area and seems to be an exciting topic. Despite significant research efforts and myriads of performance metrics, performance management today as a rigorous approach is still in an immature state and metrics are often selected based on intuitive and heuristic approach. In a R&D sector, the difficulty to select the proper performance metrics is even more increasing due to the natural characteristics of R&D such as unique or domain-specific problems. In this paper, we present a way of presenting R&D performance framework using ontology language. Based on this, the specific metrics can be derived by reusing or inheriting the context in the framework. The proposed ontological framework is formalized using OWL(Ontology Web Language) and metrics selection rules satisfying the characteristics of R&D are represented in SWRL(Semantic Web Rule Language). Actual metrics selection procedure is carried out using JESS rule engine, a plug-in to Prot$\acute{e}$g$\acute{e}$, and illustrated with an example, incorporating a prevalent R&D performance model : TVP(Technology Value Pyramid).

OWL facilitates greater machine interpretability of Web content than that supported by XML, RDF, and RDF Schema by providing additional vocabulary along with a formal semantics. We are developing the ontology editor we named OntoBuilder, in this paper we describe about implementation of OWL processor which is a component of OntoBuilder.

OWL is an ontology language for the Semantic Web, and suited to modelling the knowledge of a specific domain in the real-world. Ontology also can infer new implicit knowledge from the explicit knowledge. However, the modeled knowledge cannot be complete as the whole of the common-sense of the human cannot be represented totally. Ontology do not concern handling nonmonotonic reasoning to detect incomplete modeling such as the integrity constraints and exceptions. A default rule can handle the exception about a specific class in ontology. Integrity constraint can be clear that restrictions on class define which and how many relationships the instances of that class must hold. In this paper, we propose a practical reasoning system for open and closed-world reasoning that supports a novel hybrid integration of ontology based on open world assumption (OWA) and non-monotonic rule based on closed-world assumption (CWA). The system utilizes a method to solve the problem which occurs when dealing with the incomplete knowledge under the OWA. The method uses the answer set programming (ASP) to find a solution. ASP is a logic-program, which can be seen as the computational embodiment of non-monotonic reasoning, and enables a query based on CWA to knowledge base (KB) of description logic. Our system not only finds practical cases from examples by the Protege, which require non-monotonic reasoning, but also estimates novel reasoning results for the cases based on KB which realizes a transparent integration of rules and ontologies supported by some well-known projects.

It is very iterative and complicated work to enter the personal information every time one fills the form-based resume or one joins the new membership page on the internet. Although there are some systems that have the personal information on the computer and fill the membership page automatically, their accuracies are not often satisfactory in that the fields and their values do not match exactly. The research proposes and implements a system that has user's information on the computer and reasons and fills the information automatically that a membership web page(target page) requests using the personal information ontology. During the reasoning process, the target page is analyzed to extract the requested fields. Then the requested field names are converted to the standard field names using synonym ontology. The converted requested fields find the appropriate level in the personal information ontology using ontology match making to generate the final field value. The system not only finds the similar fields but also generates the exact field values by reasoning on the information ontology hierarchy. By experimenting with several membership pages on the web, the system showed higher accuracy over the existing systems. The system can be easily applicable to the cases where one iteratively fills the same information such as resume form.

현재의 웹이 HTML을 바탕으로 인간 사용자와의 인터페이스에 초점을 맞추고 있는데 비하여, 차세대 웹은 XML 및 XML 기반 각종 표준들을 바탕으로 소프트웨어 에이전트와의 인터페이스에 초점을 맞추어 나가고 있다. 차세대 웹에서 소프트웨어 에이전트의 두뇌 역할을 수행하기 위하여 추론엔진은 차세대 웹의 표준 언어인 시맨틱 웹(Semantic Web)을 충실히 이해할 수 있어야 한다. 이를 위한 기초 작업의 일환으로 OWL(Web Ontology Language)과 RuleML(Rule Markup Language)이 W3C에 제안된 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 SWRL을 규칙 표현 방법으로 사용하고, OWL을 사실 표현 방법으로 사용하는 역방향 추론엔진인 SMART-B(SeMantic web Agent Reasoning Tools - Backward chaining inference engine)을 개발하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 SWRL 기반 역방향 추론을 위한 요구 기능을 분석하고, 기존 역방향 추론 알고리즘에 차세대 시맨틱 웹을 요구 기능을 반영한 역방향 추론 알고리즘을 설계하였다. 또한, 유비쿼터스 환경에서의 각종 플랫폼의 독립성과 이식성을 확보하고 기기 간의 성능 차이를 극복할 수 있도록 사실 베이스 및 규칙 베이스의 관리도구와 역방향 추론 엔진 등을 Java 프로그래밍 언어를 이용하여 단위 컴포넌트의 형태로 개발 중에 있다.

현재 Open API는 프로그램 개발 및 정보의 제공 등 다양한 방향에서 많이 활용 되고 있다. Open API는 개발된 기술을 웹으로 공개하여 네트워크가 연결된 곳이라면 어디서든지 그 기술을 활용할 수 있다. 잘 개발된 Open API는 매쉬업을 통해 또 다른 기술과 합쳐 새로운 서비스를 개발하는 등 그 활용빈도가 높다. 이미 개발된 기술을 활용할 수 있어서 개발 속도가 단축되고 새로운 서비스를 개발하면서 기존의 부족한 부분을 합쳐 더욱 창의적인 정보 제공이 가능하다. 이러한 Open API의 특성을 이용하여 시맨틱 기술 개발을 지원할 수 있으며, 개발 시간 단축 및 관계 설정, 온톨로지 제공 등을 네트워크를 통해 사용자들에게 제공하고 활용할 수 있는 방법을 제시한다. 시맨틱 기술은 사람이 글을 읽고 의미를 이해하는 것처럼 컴퓨터가 이해할 수 있는 언어와 규칙들을 정해 놓아 컴퓨터 사이의 의사소통을 가능하게 하는 지능형 기술이다. 이런 시맨틱 기술 개발을 지원하기 위하여 Open API를 통해 온톨로지의 개념 및 속성, 관계 설정, 코퍼스 등을 제공하기 하기 위해 CoreOnto API라는 것을 구축했다. CoreOnto API는 네트워크에서 사용할 수 있는 Open API로 세가지의 큰 형태의 Open API를 제공하고 있다. 첫 번째, 온톨로지에 대한 클래스, 속성, 관계를 제공하는 APIs, 두 번째, 트리플(두개의 용어가 어떤 관계인지를 표현한 형태로 구성(용어1, 관계, 용어2)) 생성 및 구축된 트리플을 검색할 수 APIs, 세 번째, 온톨로지를 생성하기 위해 필요한 자원(온톨로지 명, 개체명, 관계, 코퍼스 등)을 제공하는 APIs로 구성했다. 이상과 같이 시맨틱 기술 개발을 지원하기 위한 큰 형태의 세 가지 APIs를 구축하는 방법과 APIs의 활용, 그리고 서비스를 테스트한 결과를 제시한다.
