About this title

Synopsis

This book envisages the intelligent combination of Web services and the Semantic Web. The semantic web will create an environment where computers are able to understand the meaning of information and automatically process it. Web services support application-to-application Internet communication, allowing applications at different network locations to function as if they were part of a single, large software system. The book brings together contributions from research scientists in both industry and academia to study, explore and understand the phases that compose the lifecycle of Semantic Web processes. Detailing, in short, a technological revolution that will ultimately lead to a new breed of web-based applications.

From the Back Cover

Semantics, Web services, and Web processes promise better re-use, universal interoperability and integration. Semantics has been recognized as the primary tool to address the challenges of a broad spectrum of heterogeneity and for improving automation through machine understandable descriptions.

Semantic Web Services, Processes and Applications brings contributions from researchers who study, explore and understand the semantic enabling of all phases of semantic Web processes. This encompasses design, annotation, discovery, choreography and composition. Also this book presents fundamental capabilities and techniques associated with ontological modeling or services, annotation, matching and mapping, and reasoning. This is complemented by discussion of applications in e-Government and bioinformatics.

Semantic Web Services, Processes and Applications is structured for research scientists and graduate-level students in computer science, as well as practitioners in industry.
