Jahrestagung der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Medizinische Informatik, Biometrie und Epidemiologie (GMDS), 18. September 2008Partizipative Entwicklung einer Middleware für AAL-Lösungen2008ipe fzi lang:de workshop soprano aps aal Dieser Beitrag beschreibt die technisch-funktionalen Grundzüge einer Middleware für Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) Anwendungen am Beispiel des Forschungsprojektes SOPRANO und umreißt die wichtigsten Anforderungsfaktoren an das technische System, sowie deren Erhebungs-Methodik. Die dargestellte Middleware ermöglicht den Aufbau flexibler, erweiterbarer und personalisierbarer AAL-Lösungen mit vergleichsweise geringem Aufwand. Das dargestellte technische Konzept umfasst den technischen Design-Ansatz, sowie insbesondere Komponenten, Eigenschaften und Funktionsweise der AAL-Plattform. Neben der Erörterung des technischen Konzeptes wird ein weiterer Schwerpunkt gelegt auf die Methode der Anforderungserhebung und die ermittelten Anforderungen. Es wird Einblick gegeben wie in SOPRANO dem Problem begegnet wurde, sozio-technische Systemanforderungen nutzerzentriert zu „erheben“, obschon die Anwender-Zielgruppe hierzu kaum konkrete Vorgaben machen kann. SOPRANO („Service oriented programmable smart environments for older Europeans“, www.soprano-ip.org) ist ein europäisches Forschungsprojekt, das durch technische Infrastruktur älteren Menschen länger ein unabhängiges Leben in ihrer gewohnten Umgebung ermöglichen soll. SOPRANO konzentriert sich auf die Unterstützung innerhalb des Hauses und betont explizit positive Formen der Unterstützung (engl. well-being). Hierbei steht im Vordergrund, Hilfe nicht nur in Problem- oder Notfallsituationen sicherzustellen sondern ältere Menschen situations-abhängig gerade in alltäglichen Lebenssituationen zu unterstützen. Tue Aug 05 22:43:51 CEST 20083rd Workshop on Artificial Intelligence Techniques for Ambient Intelligence (AITAmI’08), 18th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI 08), Patras, GreeceSOPRANO - An extensible, open AAL platform for elderly people based on semantical contracts2008workshop fzi soprano aps aal lang:en ontology ipe Several initiatives have shown the potentials of applying AI techniques to ambient intelligence in general and ambient assisted living in particular. While these systems succeed in adding “intelligence” to systems, they do not provide the extensibility and openness of products ready for the market. In this paper, we present the SOPRANO approach, which is based on a combination of ontologybased techniques and a service-oriented device architecture. In this approach, we focus on separating different aspects of the system like sensors & actuators, context information, and system behaviour, and provide a framework that clearly defines contracts for different solution contributors utilising semantic technologies.Tue Aug 05 22:43:09 CEST 2008Workshop Nutzerinteraktion im Social Semantic Web, Mensch & Computer - 8.

Mit dem Modell des Ontologiereifungsprozesses präsentieren wir einen partizipativen Ansatz für die Entwicklung von Kompetenzontologien, der alle Mitarbeiter in einer Organisation miteinbindet. Dadurch können übliche Probleme in der Erstellung und Pflege der Kompetenzontologie, wie fehlende Aktualität oder unterschiedliche Granularität, aber auch der individuellen Kompetenzprofile überwunden werden. Zur Unterstützung des Ontologiereifungsprozesses für das Kompetenzmanagment wurde die AJAX-basierte semantische Social-Bookmarking-Anwendung SOBOLEO entwickelt, welche die aufgaben-integrierte Entwicklung von Kompetenzontologien zusammen mit einem einfach zu nutzenden Interface bietet.Tue Feb 26 12:03:46 CET 2008Good Tags and Bad Tags - Workshop „Social Tagging in der Wissensorganisation“Von Tags zu semantischen Beziehungen: kollaborative Ontologiereifung2008folksonomy fzi tagging for:mature ipe aps ontology_maturing lang:de workshop Sun Dec 02 16:31:12 CET 2007New Forms of Reasoning for the Semantic Web: Scalable, Tolerant and Dynamic 2007. Proceedings of the First International Workshop, ISWC 2007, Busan, Korea, November 11, 2007CEUR Workshop ProceedingsMind the Web!2912007ontology_maturing fzi aps workshop ipe lang:en semantic_web This paper argues that a significant part of today’s Semantic Web research is still dominated by ideas from centralized databases. Furthermore, the main thread of reasoning research focusses on approaches that can never scale to anything similar to the Web. Starting from these negative observations we argue that emergent semantics and ontology maturing are more suitable approaches for dealing with ontologies on the Web. Similarly, a few approaches for more Semantic Web appropriate reasoning exist, but are in dire need of realistic use cases.Fri Nov 23 22:58:15 CET 2007Emergent Semantics and Ontology Evolution 2007. Proceedings of the First International Workshop on Emergent Semantics and Ontology Evolution (ESOE-2007), ISWC 2007, Busan, Korea, November 12, 2007.5-18CEUR Workshop ProceedingsThe Ontology Maturing Approach to Collaborative and Work-Integrated Ontology Development: Evaluation Results and Future Directions2922007for:mature workshop ontology_maturing lang:en ipe maturing fzi aps Ontology maturing as a conceptual process model is based on the assumption that ontology engineering is a continuous collaborative and informal learning process and always embedded in tasks that make use of the ontology to be developed. For supporting ontology maturing, we need lightweight and easy-to-use tools integrating usage and construction processes of ontologies. Within two applications – ImageNotion for semantic annotation of images and SOBOLEO for semantically enriched social bookmarking – we have shown that such ontology maturing support is feasible with the help of Web 2.0 technologies. In this paper, we want to present the conclusions from two evaluation sessions with end users and summarize requirements for further development.Sun Sep 02 13:16:16 CEST 200715th Workshop on Adaptivity and User Modeling in Interactive Systems, LWA 2007, HalleAdaptive Reading Assistance for Dyslexic Students: Closing the Loop2007dyslexia fzi ipe agentdysl adaptive aps workshop lang:en Adaptive reading assistance can improve the reading performance of students, but current dyslexia pedagogical theories do not yet provide sound results on a micro-level. We want to provide a reading assistance solution that both helps the learner and the dyslexia researcher. In order to archive this, we encode adaptation knowledge in a descriptive way by making use of state-ofthe-art ontology-based techniques. This enables a closed-loop approach of continuous improvement. In this paper, we want to present the overall approach as well as initial results of our work within the EU project AGENT-DYSL.Tue Aug 21 20:18:08 CEST 2007Towards Ambient Intelligence: Methods for Cooperating Ensembles in Ubiquitous Environments (AIM-CU), 30th Annual German Conference on Artificial Intelligence (KI 2007), Osnabrück, September 10, 2007Ontology-Centred Design of an Ambient Middleware for Assisted Living: The Case of SOPRANO2007aal workshop context fzi soprano lang:en ontology ipe aps The aim of the EU-funded project SOPRANO is to assist older Europeans to lead a more independent life in their familiar environment by means of a next generation smart home with ambient intelligence. The core of the system in each house will be the SOPRANO Ambient Middleware (SAM), which receives the user commands and sensor inputs, enriches them semantically and triggers appropriate reactions via actuators in the house. In this paper, we present a novel approach of an ontology-centred design in order to create SAM as a reliable, deterministic and economically scalable component. Thus, the starting point is the development of a context ontology focussing on the concept of a state. This OWL-Lite ontology is then used as a central reference document during the design process as well as during runtime to abstract from concrete sensor inputs and actuator outputs.Wed Aug 01 13:33:03 CEST 2007Proceedings of the 2nd International Workshop on Modeling and Retrieval of Context MRC 2005, Edinburgh, Scotland, July 31 - August 1, 2005CEURWorkshop Proceedings ISSN 1613-0073A Layered Model for User Context Management with Controlled Aging and Imperfection Handling2005context workshop ipe aging lip lang:en imperfection fzi aps Current research in context-awareness is biased toward low-level context information. High-level context information, however, poses several challenges to context management systems, which can be traced back to the asynchronicity of context acquisition and use and the inherent dynamics and imperfection in that process. This paper presents a three layer model allowing for dealing with the problems of imperfection and aging in a controlled way. It conceives the problem of high-level user context management as an information management problem with specific requirements. The approach has been applied to a context-aware learning environment for corporate learning support.Wed Aug 01 13:29:54 CEST 2007Proceedings of the 2nd International Workshop on Learner-Oriented Knowledge Management and KM-Oriented Learning (LOKMOL 06), in conjunction with the First European Conference on Technology-Enhanced Learning (ECTEL 06)October19-25Socially-Aware Informal Learning Support: Potentials and Challenges of the Social Dimension2006context socially_aware lang:en informal_learning fzi wissensnetz professional_learning ipe workshop aps 2 With increasingly conceiving learning as a social activity, technological support must become more aware of the social context of the individual in order to be able to provide adequate support. But many issues related to making systems socially aware are subject to ongoing research, e.g., the description and mining social relationships, and especially privacy preserva-tion. This paper wants to give a brief overview which possibilities social awareness can offer, and to present a research agenda for realizing these potentials.Sat Jun 02 10:47:30 CEST 2007First International ExpertFinder Workshop (EFW'07)JanuaryExpert Finding as Informal Learning Support: Competency-Aware and Socially-Aware2007professional_learning workshop expert_finder aps informal_learning fzi lang:en ipe wissensnetz 16Expert finding goes beyond identifying and locating experts. We see expert finding embedded into informal learning activities where personal and social context plays a decisive role (e.g. looking for colleagues to ask for help). That means on social context level, we need social relationship models describing not only objective but also subjective opinions about relationships' quality. On personal context level, we need shared competence models describing experts and the purpose of interacting with them. With this approach we make expert finding competency- and socially-aware.Fri May 18 23:51:17 CEST 2007Professional Knowledge Management.

On the organizational level, competence management uses competencies for integrating the goal-oriented shaping of human assets into management practice. On the operational and technical level, technologyenhanced workplace learning uses competencies for fostering learning activities of individual employees. It should be obvious that these two perspectives belong together, but in practice, a common conceptualization of the domain is needed. In this paper, we want to present such a reference ontology that builds on existing approaches and experiences from two case studies.Thu May 10 10:59:27 CEST 20071st Workshop on Architecture, Design, and Implementation of the Semantic Desktop (SemDesk Design), 4th European Semantic Web Conference (ESWC 2007), Innsbruck, AustriaSemantic Desktop Systems for Context Awareness -- Requirements and Architectural Implications2007architecture ipe aps lang:en context workshop wissensnetz semantic_desktop fzi Semantic Desktop systems appear to be a promising infrastructure for context-aware applications that acquire and make use of user context information in order to provide more efficient interaction between the user and the system. In a systematic analysis, we have analyzed existing Semantic Desktop systems based on a collection of requirements and deduced from it architectural implications for future Semantic Desktop development.Wed May 09 20:59:46 CEST 2007Berlin4th Conference Professional Knowledge Management - Experiences and Visions (WM '07), Potsdam325-334Characterizing Knowledge Maturing: A Conceptual Process Model for Integrating E-Learning and Knowledge Management12007lang:en fzi knowledge_maturing knowledge_management workshop aps maturing for:mature km professional_learning ipe elearning Knowledge management and e-learning both attempt to support learning and knowledge transfer in organizations. However, they aim at knowledge of different degrees of maturity. Central hypothesis of this paper is that the approaches can be integrated on the basis of a process that explicitly aims at designing the transitions of knowledge along varying degrees of maturity. The knowledge maturing process is presented as a conceptual model for explaining and analyzing disruptions in the inter-individual flow of knowledge within organizations. These disruptions can be attributed to a fragmented systems landscape and separated organizational units that foster knowledge of different degrees of maturity. The paper presents criteria for a characterization of this process model and discusses its implications for the design of learning support systems.Wed May 09 20:57:23 CEST 2007Berlin4th Conference Professional Knowledge Management - Experiences and Visions (WM '07), Potsdam, Workshop on Learning Software Organizations (LSO 07)155-164Knowledge Maturing as a Process Model for Describing Software Reuse22007maturing lang:en professional_learning workshop for:mature knowledge_maturing software_engineering fzi aps ipe Software reuse has become a major topic in software engineering since reusing artifacts has an important effect on the cost and quality of software products. Accordingly, understanding and managing the mechanisms of software reuse is important for every organization that develops software. In this paper we describe a knowledge maturing process in software engineering and use it to analyze two cases of reusable software artifacts. We argue that the "reusability" of a software artifact is not just an immanent property of the artifact itself, but depends on the "maturity" of the knowledge the artifact embodies. We show that the notion of knowledge maturing can serve as a useful lens for understanding reuse processes and suggest further investigations towards a more holistic concept of reusability.Wed Apr 04 11:27:30 CEST 2007Berlin4th Conference on Professional Knowledge Management - Experiences and Visions, Workshop on Productive Knowledge Work (ProKW 07)March217-226Ontology Maturing with Lightweight Collaborative Ontology Editing Tools22007ipe lang:en ontology_engineering workshop folksonomy maturing aps fzi professional_learning ontology soboleo ontology_maturing for:mature wissensnetz 28-30Ontology building is an important prerequisite for state-of-the-art semantic technologies for knowledge worker support. But ontology engineering methods have so far neglected the early phase of ontology building where a conceptualization only exists rather informally and underlies continuous evolution through collaboration and interaction within the community. We have to view ontology building as a maturing process that requires collaborative editing support and the integration into the daily work processes of knowledge workers. In spirit of current Web 2.0 applications, we present an AJAX-based lightweight ontology editor as a first approach to this problem.Wed Apr 04 11:25:41 CEST 2007Modeling and Retrieval of Context.
