As the first volume of World Scientific Encyclopedia with Semantic Computing and Robotic Intelligence, this volume is designed to lay the foundation for the understanding of the Semantic Computing (SC), as a core concept to study Robotic Intelligence in the subsequent volumes.This volume aims to provide a reference to the development of Semantic Computing, in the terms of 'meaning', 'context', and 'intention'. It brings together a series of technical notes, in average, no longer than 10 pages in length, each focuses on one topic in Semantic Computing; being review article or research paper, to explain the fundamental concepts, models or algorithms, and possible applications of the technology concerned.This volume will address three core areas in Semantic Computing:
PHILLIP C.-Y. SHEU, PhD, is Professor at the University of California, Irvine, and a Fellow of the IEEE. Dr. Sheu studies complex biological systems, knowledge-based medicine, semantic software engineering, proactive Web technologies, and large real-time knowledge systems for defense applications. He has authored two books and published more than 100 papers investigating object-relational data and knowledge engineering and their applications and biomedical computations.
