Semantic Lexicon is considered here as a golden ontology defining taxonomical relations among concepts such as hypernymy, meronymy, holonymy and so forth. The system attempts to annotate Web resources according to the available taxonomical relations using simple annotation schemes. The system is completely autonomous if the chosen golden ontology is provided by linguistic experts as it happens for WordNet. The proposed conceptual architecture has been applied to real-world scenarios for test purposes, obtaining promising results.","PeriodicalId":390934,"journal":{"name":"2009 Fourth International Conference on Internet and Web Applications and Services","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116903191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore the roles of humans and their interactions, be it as single persons, teams, or communities of practice, in the activities of an organisation are considered and subject to modeling. Existing modeling approaches for human-driven, knowledge-driven, and task-driven business processes are often considered as basically and essentially different and not suited for combined modeling. The approach described here can be viewed as attempt for a combination and integration of these approaches.","PeriodicalId":390934,"journal":{"name":"2009 Fourth International Conference on Internet and Web Applications and Services","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121048581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One important task for Semantic Business Process Management is the addition of corresponding semantic annotations to the business-oriented view on processes. Since, however, the Semantic Web approach, realised using ontologies, is not simply to represent conceptualisations in the style of a data model, but to embody relationships and inferences over such conceptualisations, an equally important task to realise Semantic Business Process Management is hence to relate business-oriented and IT/service-oriented views of processes ontologically. Previous work has shown how an ontology language rich enough to encode rules can provide a relationship between an abstract ontology for business processes and a low-level ontological representation of process behaviour providing behavioural semantics for these business processes. In this paper we show how business-oriented and execution-oriented ontological representations of business processes can similarly be related.","PeriodicalId":390934,"journal":{"name":"2009 Fourth International Conference on Internet and Web Applications and Services","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126144791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These semantic descriptions will be used to render the scene graphically through animated pre-visualizations.

Additionally, multimedia communication is getting used more and more in the form of video conferences to decrease travel cost and support environmental protection. Besides oral communication also documents, e.g. presentations, may be shared. Thus sensitive information is likely to be exchanged as part of the communication. Hence, an appropriate security level is of great relevance to protect enterprise’s confidential information. Historically, security measures for communication systems have either been targeted to prevent fraud, thereby securing the operator’s business model, or to provide military-class end-to-end encryption. Neither approach targets the security objectives of enterprises using private and public communication infrastructure for sensitive business exchanges. It is common practice within enterprises to define different data protection classes and associated rules that have to be respected when dealing with sensitive information. Thus, the main contribution here is on one hand an evaluation of relevant available or known security technology from the perspective of protecting sensitive enterprise communication, and a roadmap for an incremental, step-wise introduction of security features in multimedia (including voice and video) communication that allows for a step-wise (incremental) introduction of security features required for different security levels.","PeriodicalId":390934,"journal":{"name":"2009 Fourth International Conference on Internet and Web Applications and Services","volume":"285 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124548159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are several approaches to integrate applications, such as the new architectural style Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), an emerging issue during these last years. The main objective of this research is to propose an extension of the EAIF which incorporates new elements corresponding to the SOA, thus enhancing its usefulness. As a case study, a Help Desk tool is chosen under the SOA approach and Web Services, with the purpose of validating the incorporated elements.

The P2P systems provide a decentralized model, which offers a better scalability, reliability, and performance for Web services composition. We present an unstructured P2P strategy for composing semantic Web services. We propose a collaborative workspace between different participants to achieve a specific goal through the composition of Web service. In this strategy, we define two principal concepts: the epidemic discovery algorithms and the composition table. The first one describes a distributed solution to discover semantic Web services in unstructured Peer-to-Peer networks. The second one is a distributed method to publish and preserve the description and the composition way of the peer-to-peer composed Web services.","PeriodicalId":390934,"journal":{"name":"2009 Fourth International Conference on Internet and Web Applications and Services","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114744277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
