Tutorial on Collaborative Work Environments (CWE 2008)Outline: [here] Abstract:
Software and systems engineering today is conducted usually in co-ordinated projects, distributed in time and location. The IT environments for such projects have to provide various features for sharing means and content; workflow has to be controlled and documents have to be managed to enable effective collaboration, communication and/or content handling. Moreover, in certain application domains one has to obey rules, regulations, norms or standards for work and/or businesses.
In the tutorial, special attention will be given to the practitioners pro and cons of specifying or standardizing reference models and/or requirements norms for workflow or other groupware systems for computer-aided software systems engineering (CASE). Overall aim of the tutorial is to make the attendees aware of the state of practice and to provide a practical approach to the CSCW or Groupware quality problem.
The Presenter:
A senior scientist at Fraunhofer Institute in Sankt Augustin (Germany), Hans-Ludwig Hausen has more than 25 years of practical experience in computer-aided software engineering, software quality insurance, software process modeling and tailoring in the context of some thirty large software engineering projects for governmental agencies and industry.
Tutorial on Realizing a Semantic Web Application (RSWA 2008)Outline: [here] Abstract:
The tutorial explains how to develop step-by-step a Semantic Web application that expects a music style as an input; retrieves data from MusicBrainz [1], MusicMoz [2], and EVDB [3]; merges them and let the users explore events related to artists that practice the required style via Exhibit [4]. See http://swa.cefriel.it/meex
The tutorial will mainly cover the Semantic Web technology side of the problem of developing a Semantic Web application without focusing on the "standard" programmatic (i.e., Java) side of it. The tutorial will explain: how to configure D2RQ [5] and Joseky [6] to expose a realational database as a SPARQL endpoint; how to use a GRDDL processor [7] to extract RDF from an XML source; how to model in OWL both the application and the content ontologies; how to use Jena to guarantee persistency and reasoning support to the application; and how to configure Exhibit to offer a Semantic Navigation experience to the final user.
The Presenter:
Emanuele Della Valle [8] is Program Manager of CEFRIEL's Semantic Web Activities [9], lecturer of "Knowledge Engineering" at Università dell'Insubria and Service Coordinator for "Testbeds and Challenges service" of Semantic Technology Institute - International. His major interest is in understanding business strategy and in translating theoretical results into applications. He performs research that is justified and guided by business opportunities.
