Abstract. In many cases, complex system behaviors are naturally modeled as nonlinear differential equations. However, these equations are often hard to analyze because of "sti...
The goal is to build a general framework for ad hoc applications over large networks using semantics and complex systems analysis. The first part deals with semantics because appl...
The paper presents the main results of the IST FP6 INFRAWEBS project. The project has developed an easy and effective way of constructing and using semantic descriptions for existi...
Qualitative Reasoning (QR) formalisms provide ontological primitives for capturing conceptual knowledge. Recently QR-based diagrammatic tools are being developed to support learne...
Emerging Web services standards enable the development of large-scale applications in open environments. In particular, they enable services to be dynamically bound. However, curr...
