This paper shows how priority ceiling techniques can be added to object-based real-time semantic concurrency control. The resulting protocol provides more potential concurrency for real-time object-oriented databases than previous priority ceiling techniques, while alleviating priority inversion and deadlock problems of previous object-based semantic concurrency control techniques. It is also a...

The Semantic Grid is an extension of the current Grid in which information and services are given well defined and explicitly represented meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation [1]. Existing Grid Services deal with knowledge in the form of metadata and its associated semantics in an implicit fashion, providing no way to share this knowledge with other Grid componen...

This paper describes an extension of the TableMiner system, an open source Semantic Table Interpretation system that annotates Web tables using Linked Data in an effective and efficient approach. It adds a graphical user interface to TableMiner, to facilitate the visualization and correction of automatically generated annotations. This makes TableMiner an ideal tool for the semi-automatic creat...

A semantic enabled multi-agent architecture for solving non-linear equations systems by using a service oriented approach is proposed. The service oriented approach allows us to access already implemented methods for solving complex mathematical problems. The semantic descriptions of these services provide support for intelligent agents. The proposed architecture is a framework with two extensi...

We present here a knowledge updation mechanism based on a semantic-net like knowledge organization scheme. By considering learning as aa extension to recognition of unknown objects, pre-updation analysis ensures consistency in the resulting knowledge base.

Semantically annotating content from relational tables on the Web is a crucial task towards realizing the vision of the Semantic Web. However, there is a lack of open source, user-friendly tools to facilitate this. This paper describes an extension of the TableMiner system, an open source Semantic Table Interpretation system that automatically annotates Web tables using Linked Data in an effect...

An extension to ER (Entity Relationship) model for semantic modeling of databases in top down manner is presented. The model proposes a new entity type called composite entity type and a table based meta construct called tabletype relationship. A composite entity type models composite entities, whereas a tabletype relationship is shorthand and represents a number of relationship types. The conc...

What is the goal of creativity? Is it just a symbolic reshuffling or a moment of semantic extension? Similar to the contrast between syntax and semantics, creativity has an internal and an external aspect. Contrary to the widespread view that emphasises the problem-solving role of creativity, here we consider whether creativity represents an authentic moment of ontological discovery and semanti...

The Semantic Web will bring structure to the content of Web pages, being an extension of the current Web, in which information is given a welldefined meaning. Especially within e-commerce applications, Semantic Web technologies in the form of ontologies and metadata are becoming increasingly prevalent and important. This paper introduce KAON the Karlsruhe Ontology and Semantic Web Tool Suite. K...

In abstract argumentation traditionally directed attacks might also be called conflicts if the direction of the attack is not of importance. Recent publications emphasize that argumentation graphs when combined with some semantics feature semantic conflicts that might not coincide with syntactic conflicts defined by attacks. We elaborate on characteristics of various semantics and investigate p...
