Agent Technologies

Chapter 1

Employing Graph Network Analysis for Web Service Composition (pages 1-18)

John Gekas, Maria Fasli

The Web services paradigm has enabled an increasing number of providers to host remotely accessible services. However, the true potential of such a distributed infrastructure can only be reached when such autonomic services can be...

Chapter 2

Context-Aware Service Provisioning in Next-Generation Networks: An Agent Approach (pages 19-38)

Vedran Podobnik, Krunoslav Trzec, Gordan Jezic

This paper presents an application of multi-agent system in ubiquitous computing scenarios characteristic of next-generation networks. Next-generation networks will create environments populated with a vast number of consumers, which...

Chapter 3

A Mobile, Intelligent Agent-Based Architecture for E-Business (pages 39-55)

Zhiyong Weng, Thomas Tran

This paper proposes a mobile, intelligent agent-based e-business architecture that allows buyers and sellers to perform business at remote locations. An e-business participant can generate a mobile, intelligent agent via some mobile...

Chapter 4

A Multi-Agent Temporal Constraint Satisfaction System Based on Allen's Interval Algebra and Probabilities (pages 56-76)

Elhadi Shakshuki, André Trudel, Yiqing Xu

Many real-world problems can be viewed and represented as a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP). In addition, many of these problems are distributed in nature. To this end, we combine agents with a special type of CSP called an...

Chapter 5

A Multiagent Approach for Configuring and Explaining Workflow of Semantic Web Services (pages 77-94)

Vasco Furtado, Leonardo Ayres, Gustavo Fernandes

In this paper, we describe a multiagent approach that configures semantic Web services following a design problem solving method. For that, a propose-and-revise strategy was modeled and implemented in OWL-S. The other contribution of...

Chapter 6

A Subspace Clustering Framework for Research Group Collaboration (pages 96-116)

Nitin Agarwal, Ehtesham Haque, Huan Liu, Lance Parsons

Researchers spend considerable time searching for relevant papers on the topic in which they are currently interested. Often, despite having similar interests, researchers in the same lab do not find it convenient to share results of...

Chapter 7

E-Portfolio to Promote the Virtual Learning Group Communities on the Grid (pages 117-133)

Emilie Conté, Guy Gouardères

In Vocational and Educational Training, new trends are to social learning and more precisely to informal learning. In such settings, the article introduces a process - the e-Qualification - to manage informal learning on the...

Chapter 8

Incremental Learning for Interactive E-Mail Filtering (pages 134-152)

Ding-Yi Chen, Xue Li, Zhao Yang Dong, Xia Chen

In this paper, we propose a framework namely, Prediction-Learning-Distillation (PLD) for interactive document classification and distilling the misclassified documents. Whenever a user points out misclassified documents, the PLD...

Chapter 9

eDAR Algorithm for Continuous KNN Queries Based on Pine (pages 154-174)

Maytham Safar, Dariush Ebrahimi

The continuous K nearest neighbor (CKNN) query is an important type of query that finds continuously the KNN to a query point on a given path. We focus on moving queries issued on stationary objects in Spatial Network Database (SNDB)...

Chapter 10

A Deterministic Approach to XML Query Processing with Efficient Support for Pure and Negated Containments (pages 175-194)

Dunren Che

This article reports the result of the author’s recent work on XML query processing/optimization, which is a very important issue in XML data management. In this work, in order to more effectively and efficiently handle XML queries...

Chapter 11

Text Summarization Based on Conceptual Data Classification (pages 195-209)

Jihad M. ALJa’am, Ali M. Jaoua, Ahmad M. Hasnah, F. Hassan, H. Mohamed, T. Mosaid, H. Saleh, F. Abdullah

In this paper, we present an original approach for text summarization using conceptual data classification. We show how a given text can be summarized without losing meaningful knowledge and without using any semantic or grammatical...

Chapter 12

Studying and Analysis of a Vertical Web Page Classifier Based on Continuous Learning Naïve Bayes (CLNB) Algorithm (pages 210-254)

H. A. Ali, Ali I. El Desouky, Ahmed I. Saleh

Web page classification is considered one of the most challenging research areas. Where the Web has a huge volume of unstructured and distributed documents that are related to a variety of domains; so, considering one base for the...

Chapter 13

Building a Semantic-Rich Service-Oriented Manufacturing Environment (pages 255-265)

Zhonghua Yang, Jing Bing Zhang, Robert Gay, Liqun Zhuang

Service-orientation has emerged as a new promising paradigm for enterprise integration in the manufacturing sector. In this paper, we focus on the approach and technologies for constructing a service oriented manufacturing...

Chapter 14

A Survey of Web Service Discovery Systems (pages 266-281)

Le Duy Ngane, Angela Goh, Cao Hoang Tru

Web services form the core of e-business and hence, have experienced a rapid development in the past few years. This has led to a demand for a discovery mechanism for Web services. Discovery is the most important task in the Web...
