Semantic Interoperation

Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) Simulation Packages (CSPs) are widely used in industry primarily due to economic factors associated with developing proprietary software platforms. Regardless of their widespread use, CSPs have yet to operate across organizational boundaries. The limited reuse and interoperability of CSPs are affected by the same semantic issues that restrict the inter-organizational use of software components and web services. The current representations of Web components are predominantly syntactic in nature lacking the fundamental semantic underpinning required to support discovery on the emerging Semantic Web. The authors present new research that partially alleviates the problem of limited semantic reuse and interoperability of simulation components in CSPs. Semantic models, in the form of ontologies, utilized by the authors’ Web service discovery and deployment architecture, provide one approach to support simulation model reuse. Semantic interoperation is achieved through a simulation component ontology that is used to identify required components at varying levels of granularity (i.e. including both abstract and specialized components). Selected simulation components are loaded into a CSP, modified according to the requirements of the new model and executed. The research presented here is based on the development of an ontology, connector software, and a Web service discovery architecture. The ontology is extracted from example simulation scenarios involving airport, restaurant and kitchen service suppliers. The ontology engineering framework and discovery architecture provide a novel approach to inter-organizational simulation, by adopting a less intrusive interface between participants Although specific to CSPs this work has wider implications for the simulation community. The reason being that the community as a whole stands to benefit through from an increased awareness of the state-of-the-art in Software Engineering (for example, ontology-supported component discovery and reuse, and service-oriented computing), and it is expected that this will eventually lead to the development of a unique Software Engineering-inspired methodology to build simulations in future.

Semantic Interoperation

With the continuous development and rapid progress of information techniques, complexity and scale of information systems are expanding increasingly, which consequently brings our research focus on how to ensure the effective exchange of information and efficient interconnection between each part of a information system. However, different modeling paradigm, languages and platforms cause grammatical and semantic diversity to the existing information resources, a challenging approach to information resources management is needed to promote deep sharing of those information resources and implement rapid integration based on them. To realize semantic interoperation between diverse information systems and resources, the authors combine meta-modeling methodology in software engineering and ontology from philosophy to exploit a novel methodology named Theory of Ontology & Meta-modeling. Based on the methodology, the authors contributed to an international standard project ISO/IEC 19763- 3: Metamodel for ontology registration since 2003, which was officially published as an international standard in Dec, 2007. Furthermore, we developed a Management and Service platform for Semantic Interoperability on Manufacturing Informationalization Software Component Repository (SCR). It can support ontology-based software component attributes classification, registration and management using ISO/IEC 19763-3 standard, and implement semantic (ontology) based software component query and retrieval. Based on above mentioned techniques, this platform can facilitate the management of semantic interoperability, which provides the reliable infrastructure for the reusing and sharing of heterogeneous software component resources.

Secure Access Control

With the increasing interest in Semantic Web-based applications, researchers have started to build tools enabling organisations to share information. An important aspect in maintaining the Semantic Web is, however, to preserve security during semantic interoperation of different entities. Security and privacy are indispensable to the success of Semantic Web services. Hence, this chapter aims to investigate the currently used security methods in semantic interoperation, including the security methods employing Semantic Web representation languages such as XML, RDF and ontologies, and their application methods in semantic interoperation such as secure access control and secure knowledge management. How to manage privacy, trust and reputation at the same time during semantic interoperation will also be discussed in this chapter. Finally, some directions for our further research will be presented.
