In recent years, the web services composition has received much attention. By web services composition, we mean providing a new service that does not exist on the repository. In this paper, we propose a new system called PSR for web services composition search using a relational database. We also propose algorithms for pre-computing web services composition using joins and indices. We store ontologies from web services in RDBMS, so that the PSR system returns web services composition in order of similarity with user query through the degree of the ontology matching. We demonstrated that our pre-computing web services composition approach in RDBMS yields lower execution time and good scalability when handling a large number of web services and user queries.

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.

Recently, there are many researches to realize context-awareness service that recognizes surrounding environments as context and provide the citizens with pervasive convenience based on ubiquitous computing technology. In the u-City, various sensors collect information as context, and citizens will receive various context-awareness service, making use of their wireless and mobile devices and the infrastructures of the u-City. We designed ontology that is useful to structure information of sensor or device that is linked to networks and use OWL (Web Ontology Language) that can express information of mutual relation and partial situation. And we propose a context-aware reasoning system for personalized u-City services based on collected context information and user's intention.

유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경을 구축하기 위해서는 사용자 및 주변 상황에 관한 인지기술이 필수적이다. 이에 따라 이기종 분산형 시스템에서 언어와 기종에 영향을 받지 않고 사용자 Context를 인지하고 표현하는 문제는 해결해야할 중요한 과제로 대두되었다. 이에 따라, 본 논문에서는 이 과제를 해결하기 위하여 시맨틱 웹 기술 및 퍼지 개념을 이용하여 사용자 Context를 기술하는 것을 제안한다. 온톨로지는 컴퓨터가 정보자원의 의미를 파악하고 자동적으로 처리할 수 있도록 고안된 지식표현 언어이므로 이기종 시스템 하에서의 사용자 Context를 표현하는데 적합하다. 한편, 사용자가 접할 실세계의 환경은 일반집합(Crisp Set)으로 표현하기 힘들기 때문에 본 논문에서는 퍼지개념과 표준 웹 온톨로지 언어 OWL이 융합된 Fuzzy OWL언어를 사용했다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법은 Context를 Fuzzy OWL로 표현하기 위하여 먼저 사용자가 접한 환경정보들을 수치로 표현한다. 그리고 이를 OWL로 기술하며 OWL로 표현된 사용자 Context를 Fuzzy OWL로 변환한다. 마지막으로 퍼지 개념이 포함된 사용자 Context를 이용하여 자동적인 상황인지가 가능한지 여부를 퍼지 추론 엔진인 FiRE를 사용하여 실험한다. 본 논문에서 제시한 방법을 사용하면 이기종 분산시스템에서도 사용할 수 있는 형태로 Context를 기술할 수 있다. 그리고 기술된 Context를 기반으로 현재 사용자가 접한 환경의 상태를 추론할 수 있다. 또한 퍼지 기술 로직 언어(Fuzzy Description Logic)기반 추론기인 FiRE를 이용하여 이를 검증한다.

Ontology is a methodology on describing specific concepts and their relationships, and it is being considered important more and more as semantic web and variety of knowledge management systems are being highlighted. Ontology uses the relationships among concerts to represent some concrete semantics of specific concept. When we want to get some useful information from ontology, we severely have to process the transitive relationships because most of relationships among concepts represent transitivity. Technically, it causes recursive calls to process such transitive closure queries with heavy costs. This paper describes the efficient technique for processing transitive closure queries in ontology. To the purpose of it, we examine some approaches of current systems for transitive closure queries, and propose a technique by graph labeling scheme. Basically, we assume large size of ontology, and then we show that our approach gives relative efficiency in processing of transitive closure, queries.

In semantic web information system like ontology that access distributed information from network, efficient query processing requires an advanced caching mechanism to reduce the query response time. P2P network system have become an important infra structure in web environment. In P2P network system, when the query is initiated, reducing the demand of data transformation to source peer is important aspect of efficient query processing. Caching of query and query result takes a particular advantage by adding or removing a query term. Many of the answers may already be cached and can be delivered to the user right away. In web environment, semantic caching method has been proposed which manages the cache as a collection of semantic regions. In this paper, we propose the semantic caching technique in cluster environment of peers. Especially, using schema data filtering technique and schema similarity cache replacement method, we enhanced the query processing efficiency.

B2B registries are information systems to register B2B related business information such as companies' profiles, business documents, business processes, and services and to provide query facilities to find information about potential business partners. Focusing on the design of the registry for B2B business processes, in this paper, a metadata ontology is designed to register B2B business processes. In practice, there are several competitive business process definition languages such as ebXML BPSS (Business Process Specification Schema), WSBPEL (Web Service Business Process Execution Language), BPMN (Business Process Modeling Notation), and so on. In order to register heterogeneous business processes based on different representation frameworks, the proposed metadata ontology consists of three layers, common metadata, language-specific metadata, and interrelationship metadata. To show the usefulness of the proposed metadata ontology, two examples which are represented by ebXML BPSS and WSBPEL respectively are described in order to show how the proposed metadata ontology is used to registry B2B business processes. To implement the proposed metadata ontology using ebXML registry, metadata mapping scheme to ebRIM (ebXML Registry Information Model) is also suggested.

Keyword matching technique which is used in most information retrieval systems is unfit for efficient processing of geometrically increasing information. The problem can be solved by using semantic information and an efficient method of semantic processing is introduced in this paper. The technique uses conceptual graph to represent the semantic information and apply it for information retrieval. The implemented system can perform exact matching and partial matching. Partial matching has two different types. One is syntactic partial matching and the other is semantic partial matching. The semantic semilaries are measured by the subclass relations in the ontology. The introduced technique can be used not only information retrieval but also in various applications such as an implementation of dynamic hyperlinks.

To provide social security and for cooperative smart camera context awareness processing, each camera stores and exchange context data. For a specific event, measured values with other context data is stored RDB. RDB is transformed to ontology RDF file and is used for context reasoning. Interoperability between smart cameras conforms to ONVIF and constitutes intelligent surveillance system. To guarantee the confidentiality and integrity, securiy techniques are adopted. Security overhead between agents is analyzed in the prototype system implemented.

To share and standardize information, especially in the database environments, MDR (Metadata Registry) can be used to integrate various heterogeneous databases within a particular domain. But due to the discrepancies of data element representation between organizations, global information integration is not so easy. And users who are searching integrated information on the Web have limitation to obtain schema information for the underlying source databases. To solve those problems, in this paper, we present a 3-layered Information Integration System (LI2S) based on MDRs and Ontology. The purpose of proposed architecture is to define information integration model, which combine both of the nature of MDRs standard specification and functionality of ontology for the concept and relation. Adopting agent technology to the proposed model plays a key role to support the hierarchical and independent information integration architecture. Ontology is used as for a role of semantic network from which it extracts concept from the user query and the establishment of relationship between MDRs for the data element. (MDR and Knowledge Base are used as for the solution of discrepancies of data element representation between MDRs. Based on this architectural concept, LI2S was designed and implemented.
