“…The agent community (Gibbins et al, 2003;Martin et al,1999;McIllraith et al, 2001) has recognized the benefit of ontology if computer-to-computer web architectures are to be achieved. Combining service and domain ontology is seen as a key to achieving service synthesis (Chen et al, 2003). Work on service ontology is currently around OWL-S and WSMO groups (with service annotation being carried out by WSDL-S and USDL groups) (Verma & Sheth, 2007).…”

COTS simulation packages (CSPs) have proved popular in a wider industrial setting. Reuse of simulation component models by collaborating organisations or divisions is restricted however by the same semantic issues that restrict the inter-organisation use of other software services. Semantic models, in the form of ontology, utilized by a web service based discovery and deployment architecture provides one approach to support simulation model reuse. Semantic interoperation is achieved using domain grounded simulation component ontology to identify reusable components and subsequently loaded into a CSP, modified according to the requirements of the new model, and locally or remotely executed. The work is based on a health service simulation that addresses the transportation of blood. The ontology engineering framework and discovery architecture provide a novel approach to inter-organisation simulation, uncovering domain semantics and providing a less intrusive mechanism for component reuse. The resulting web of component models and simulation execution environments present a nascent approach to simulation grids.

“…One has to compose these primitive services in order to perform complex transactions. This problem has been receiving attention lately [3,24,76,85,90]. All these works typically use process definitions and an ontology to create the composite service with varying degrees of automation.…”

The Web has evolved into a dominant digital medium for conducting many types of online transactions such as shopping, paying bills, making travel plans, etc. Such transactions typically involve a number of steps spanning several web pages. For sighted users these steps are relatively straightforward to do with graphical web browsers. But they pose tremendous challenges for visually impaired individuals. This is because screen readers, the dominant assistive technology used by visually impaired users, function by speaking out the screen's content serially. Consequently, using them for conducting transactions can cause considerable information overload. But usually one needs to browse only a small fragment of a web page to do a step of a transaction (e.g., choosing an item from a search results list). Based on this observation this dissertation develops a model-directed transaction framework to identify, extract and aurally render only the "relevant" page fragments in each step of a transaction. The framework uses a process model to encode the state of the transaction and a concept model to identify the page fragments relevant for the transaction in that state. The two models are constructed from labeled transaction sequences using traditional classification and automata learning methods. © © © A A A l l l l l l R R R i i i g g g h h h t t t s s s RNext, we relax the requirement of needing fully labeled training data. Specifically, we present a framework to mine transaction models from partially labeled click stream data generated by transactions, where some or all the labels could be missing. Not having to rely exclusively on (manually) labeled click stream data has iii important benefits: Visually impaired users do not have to depend on third party (e.g., sighted users) for constructing transaction models. This makes it possible to mine personalized models from transaction click streams associated with sites that visually impaired users visit regularly. Since partially labeled data is relatively easier to generate, scaling up the construction of domain-specific transaction models (e.g., shopping, airline reservations, bill payments, etc.) is feasible. Lastly, adjusting the performance of deployed models over time with new training data is also doable.In terms on techniques used for mining we expand our repertoire to include web content analysis to partition a web page into segments consisting of semantically related content elements, contextual analysis of data surrounding clickable elements in a page and clustering of page segments based on contextual analysis.We provide qualitative and quantitative experimental evidence of the practical effectiveness of our models in improving user experience when conducting online transactions with n...
