“…We refer interested readers to Boley et al (2007) for more information. Rules, as a logic paradigm, are quite important, as they provide the capability of explaining why a particular decision is reached (Besnard et al, 2008;Diouf et al, 2007;Lehmann and Gangemi, 2007). This becomes possible by tracing back the inference chain of the executed rules and revealing the conditions and any intermediate data inferred during the reasoning process.…”

“…However, such approaches do not exploit the full benefits of the abstraction. On the one hand, using UML, the UML meta-model and the Object Constraint Language (OMG, 2006) (OCL -used to increase expressivity of UML through allowing constraints to be defined) for ontology development is not preferable, since they do not offer automatic inference, and there is no notion of logic and formally defined semantics (Diouf et al, 2007;Noguera et al, 2010;Parreiras and Staab, 2010;Rodriguez et al, 2010). Available AI-based KR formalisms or logic programming languages (i.e., F-logic, OWL, etc.)…”

Abstract:Increasing demand for large scale and highly complex systems and applications, particularly with the emergence of pervasive computing and the impact of adaptive systems, introduces significant challenges for software development, as well as for user-machine interaction. Therefore, a perspective shift on software development and user-machine interaction is required. An amalgamation of model driven development and ontologies has been envisaged as a promising direction in recent literature. In this paper, we investigate this merged approach and conclude that a merger of both approaches, from formal modelling and knowledge representation perspective, on the one hand enables use of ontologies at run-time together with rules, prominently in terms of run-time reasoning, dynamic adaptations, software intelligibility, self-expressiveness, user involvement, and user situation awareness; and on the other hand at development time, prominently in terms of automated and incremental code generation, requirement adaptability, preservation of application knowledge, and validation and verification of structural and behavioural properties of the software. The core contribution of this paper lies in providing an elaborate and exploratory discussion of the problem and solution spaces along with a multidisciplinary meta-review and identification of complementary efforts in literature required to realise a merged approach.

“…For the presentation in this paper, we concentrated on following business process language based on widely used standards: BPDM, ebXML, RosettaNet [19], BPML [3], XPDL [24], WS-BPEL [2], WSCDL [21] and OWL-S -one of the most widely accepted standards to describe the semantics of Web Services [6]. We can observe that none of the investigated approaches supports all requirements that should be addressed to facilitate business process interoperability [11] and the following can be concluded:…”

By its very nature, delivering information as a service upon the demands of the business, service-based business processes offer additional features and benefits that can complement traditional BI implementations in providing enterprises of all sizes a new approach to meet their data integration and analysis needs at all levels in the enterprise. To be successful, BI solutions have required new ways of approaching the business process interoperability, providing an efficient support for the whole process of service-based BI deployment. In this context, the focus of this paper is on the state of the art towards business process interoperability in the service-based business environments. Specifically, this paper also aims to highlight significant potentials of business rules that can enable business processes to meet the adaptability and interoperability requirements of service-based business processes. Some of the challenges current rule-based approaches face and potential research opportunities will be also highlighted.

“…Ontologies and rules also provide capability of explaining why a particular decision is taken (i.e. feedback) [44], for instance, providing learner with a dependency list or a prerequisite tree when learner wants to access a LO before completing all its prerequisites.…”

Abstract. This paper reports an interdisciplinary research project on adaptive and pervasive learning environments. Its interdisciplinary nature is built on a firm collaboration between three main research domains, namely, instructional science, methodology, and computer science. In this paper, we first present and discuss mutual, as well as distinctive, vision and goals of each domain from a computer science perspective. Thereafter, we argue for an ontology-driven approach employing ontologies at run-time and development-time where formalized ontologies and rules are considered as main medium of adaptivity, user involvement, and automatic application development. Finally, we introduce a prototype domain context ontology for item-based learning environments and demonstrate its run-time and development-time uses.
