My current research is focused on Semantic Web Services. The goal of the Semantic Web is to create a machine-readable Web which supports machine interoperability through the use of ontologies - an explicit shared conceptualisation of a domain of discourse.

Web Services are online programs which are programmatically accessible through standard Internet protocols. Additionally, Web Services can act as proxies for business services enabling organisations to move from monolithic black boxes to a set of exposed micro-functionalities which add value for consumers.

The research area of Semantic Web Services seeks to apply Semantic Web technology (machine processable Web based descriptions founded on ontologies) to Web Services to facilitate the automatic generation of applications from re-usable online components.

The work of my group centres the Semantic Web Service platform IRS-III which we use as an overall umbrella for our research and as an implementation infrastructure for the demonstrators that we create in the domains of Business Process Modelling, eLearning, and Bio-informatics. One of our new projects will integrate Semantic Web Services with Web 2.0 technologies in order to create a Web of billions of services.



With over a billion users world-wide, the current Internet is a great success - a global integrated communications infrastructure and service platform underpinning the World economy and society in general. However, today's Internet was designed in the 1970s for purposes that bear little resemblance to current and foreseen usage scenarios. Mismatches between original design goals and current utilisation are now beginning to hamper the Internet's potential. A large number of challenges in the realms of technology, business, society and governance have to be overcome if the future development of the Internet is to sustain the networked society of tomorrow.

I am currently involved in coordinating Future Internet a European initiative to address the above. Future Internet currently leverages 70 projects with a combined value of 500M Euros and envisages a new Internet comprising:
  • Internet of Things - where electronic devices are active participants in the network.
  • Internet of Services - where applications live in the network and data is an active entity.
  • Internet of user generated content - where users can easily generate new publicly accessible content.
  • Internet of publicity, privacy and anonymity - where people and software understand how far trust can and should extend to others.
  • Internet of mobility and ubiquity - where pervasive 24/7 connectivity is the norm.
A short video explaining some of the main concepts underlying the Future Internet for non-experts can be found at: http://www.serviceweb30.eu/cms/index.php/service-web-3-0-the-future-internet. The Future Internet Services Working Group which I co-chair can be found at: http://services.future-internet.eu/.



I have recently become the President of STI International a global organisation with members in Europe, North America, and Asia with a mission to "make semantics real" - to exploit Semantics to overcome societal, economical and technological challenges and the limitations of current communication and collaboration technologies through the provision of scientific foundations, technological frameworks, and real-world applications necessary to make Semantics an integral and transparent building block of information systems. More information on STI International can be found at http://www.sti2.org/



The SUPER project where I served as the Scientific Director finished in March, 2009. This project combined Semantic Web Service and Business Process Management technologies to help bridge the gap between Business Processes as envisaged in the heads of business experts and as executed in Enterprise IT systems. The video outlines the main aims and results of SUPER for a non-technical audience.

Networks and Ontologies for the Transformation and Unification of Broadcasting and the intErnet

The ultimate goal of this project is to develop flexible/adaptive end-to-end architecture, based on semantic technologies, for personalised creation, distribution and consumption of TV content. The project will take a user-centric approach to investigate fundamental aspects of consumers' content-customisation needs, interaction requirements and entertainment wishes, which will shape the future of the "TV" in all its new forms. "New technology is transforming the TV industry", says Mark Thomson, BBC CEO for Observer. Watching TV more and more happens together with PC-related activities, e.g. chatting with friends, talking on the phone, searching on the Internet for related info about programs. Already in 2000, the trend was by "couch-and-mouse toys serving 27 million Americans who were able to watch TV and surf the Web at the same time - the "telewebbers". Nowadays, digital video-recording software provides the facility to "time-shift" live television programming through a PC (e.g. via TiVo and ReplayTV). Companies are attempting to bundle "an electronic program guide into its software, along with personal viewing agents that can recommend broadcasted programs based on your viewing habits" . For example, while watching "Dancing with the stars", you can vote for your favourite couple, read their biographies, find other programs this week where they appear, record your favourite dances and send them to friends; you can also join live chats during the program. However, "such interactive services stay TV-centric (in the device sense of the term TV) and use Internet and digital technology only to enhance the entertainment that you expect to see when you plop yourself down in front of the tube."

  Knowledge Media Institute | SUPER Logo   SUPER
Semantics Utilised for Process management within and between EnteRprises

Business 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
