Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Information interoperability and reuse via multiple contexts and ontologies. Coordination of multiple contexts and ontologies. Modular ontologies. Ontology matching Scalability of techniques for combination of contexts and ontologies Logical formalisms for contexts and ontologies. Distributed reasoning algorithms for contexts and ontologies. Complexity of distributed reasoning for contexts and ontologies Comparison of uses of contexts and ontologies. Applications of reasoning with contexts and ontologies in the areas of semantic web, information retrieval, e-commerce, telecommunications, multimedia, content indexing, grid and peer-to-peer, pervasive computing and ambient intelligence CmpE 583 Fall 2008 Discussion: Rules & Markup- 7
