- Research overview
- enFor one year I have been employed by KMi as Research Fellow in Semantic Web Services. I work within the DIP and SUPER projects on service composition. Before joining KMi I had previously collaborated within the DIP and AKT projects, on which I worked at the University of Sheffield. My own general interests are in formal models for software composition which are, accordingly, compositional. The intersection between the two is embodied in the Cashew project, which is implemented in the IRS, integrated in the DIP project, and informs my work within the WSMO Working Group and the OASIS Semantic Execution Environment Technical Committee.

CASHEW
The Cashew project concerns the description and composition of semantic web-services, unlike most efforts from the semantic web community, the primary flavour of semantics concentrated on is behavioural semantics. In particular we concentrate on the operational style of behavioural semantics from which we can directly form an implementation. Furthermore, the fundamental guiding principal is that of compositionality, missing from existing work.<br> <br> The Cashew project is inspired by both OWL-S and WSMO, as well as by BPEL, Workflow Patterns and UML. It defines two formal languages Cashew-S - a language for orchestrations and choreography, visualised in UML Activity and State Diagrams respectively - and Cashew-Nuts, a process language via which semantics are induced in labelled transition systems and thereby abstract state machines.

- Description
- enDIP is an Integrated Project under the European Commission's 6th Framework Programme.The mission of DIP is to further develop Semantic Web and Web Service technologies for Semantic Web Services. DIP will define and implement additional layers of functionality on top of the current Web Service technology stack. Additionally, DIP will apply Semantic Web Services infrastructure to real world scenarios within e-work, e-commerce and e-government. http://dip.semanticweb.org

- Description
- enDotKom aims to support knowledge management within large corporation through a combination of information extraction and knowledge management technologies. A current problem with both of these technologies is that they are hard-to-use and require extensive expertise. DotKom will provide user-friendly *adaptive* information extraction tools which give instantaneous feedback on the current status of the information extraction learning process and the automatically constructed knowledge acquisition mechanisms.

Internet Reasoning Service (IRS)
The Internet Reasoning Service - IRS - is a Semantic Web Services framework, which allows applications to semantically describe and execute web services. The IRS supports the provision of semantic reasoning services within the context of the Semantic Web.

- Description
- enBusiness Process Management focuses on managing the execution of IT-supported business operations from a business expert's process view rather than from a technical perspective. The underlying motivation for BPM is that organizations need to continuously align their running business processes, as executed within multiple heterogeneous systems, with the required processes as derived from business needs. BPM has gained significant attention in both research and industry, and a range of BPM tools are available. However, the degree of mechanization in BPM is currently very limited. The major obstacle preventing a coherent view on business processes is that the business processes are not accessible to machine reasoning. Additionally, businesses cannot query their process space by logical expressions, e.g. in order to identify activities relevant to comply with regulations. Founded on ontologies Semantic Web technology provides scalable methods and tools for the machine-readable representation of knowledge. Semantic Web Services (SWS) make use of Semantic Web technology to support the automated discovery, substitution, composition, and execution of software components (Web Services). BPM is a natural application for Semantic Web and SWS technology, because the latter provide large-scale, standardized knowledge representation techniques for executable artefacts. The goal of the project is to combine Semantic Web services and Business Process Management, and develop one consolidated technology. http://www.ip-super.org
