Tutorial 1
Triple SpaceComputing: Large-Scale Integrated Knowledge Applications
presentation available here

Sunday, September 28, AM

Presenters:
Reto Krummenacher I STI Innsbruck, University of Innsbruck, AT
Jacek Kopecky I STI Innsbruck, University of Innsbruck, AT
David de Francisco I TID, ES

In the tutorial, we introduce a newly emerging technology called “Triple Space”, a system which applies the paradigm of space-based computing to realize a coordination middleware managing information formalized using Semantic Web representation languages and coordinating the exchange of machine-readable information among many distributed entities on the Web. Triple Space Computing is a future solution for high scale knowledge distribution and coordination scenarios. We present the concept and the existing implementation, guided by a concrete demonstration based on a Digital Asset Marketplace for a large telecommunications company. Attendees will download and use a Triple Space kernel and learn how to use it as communication and coordination middleware for their Semantic Web applications.

Tutorial 2
Beyond Google Earth: Surfing Petabyte Maps in the Future Internet
presentation available here

Sunday, September 28, AM

Presenter:
Peter Baumann I Jacobs University Bremen, DE

Since the launch of Google Earth at the latest it is clear that online services for multi-Terabyte satellite imagery are becoming integral part of our Internet experience. Actually, 2-D imagery is but the tip of the iceberg - the general concept of multi-dimensional spatio-temporal raster data covers 1-D sensor time series, 2-D imagery, 3-D CAT scans (x/y/t) and exploration data (x/y/z), 4-D climate, ocean, and cosmological simulation results as well as life science microarray data (x/y/z/t), and many more. The common data abstraction behind all these is that of a multidimensional array of some extent and cell (“pixel”, “voxel”) type. Sizes range well into multi- Terabyte object sizes, in future: multi-Petabyte. Today’s inexpensive high-capacity storage media indeed allow to give online access to such data. We face the appearance of navigational interfaces; the next step will consist of advancing from data stewardship to service stewardship based on open, flexible access interfaces for value-adding processing, analysis, and mining.

Agile Future Internet Applications: An Introduction to Emerging Data, Service, and Process Technologies

Sunday, September 28, PM

Presenters:
Raphael Volz I Innovation Consulting GmbH, DE
Steffen Lamparter I Karlsruhe Service Research Institute - University of Karlsruhe (TH), DE
Veli Bicer I Forschungszentrum Informatik University of Karlsruhe (TH), DE

The current Internet has emerged as the dominant application platform. Soft-ware is no longer installed on computers and distributed on physical media, but accessed as an online service, remotely, on any computer, via standard protocols such as HTTP. With the advent of this network-mediated service delivery, higher level standards have emerged and are proposed. Data is increasingly described in a standardized manner using technologies based on XML, RDF, and OWL. Leading application providers open their systems and expose APIs via Web service standards such as SOAP or REST. Similarly, business process languages such as BPEL and BPMN allow to orchestrate and network workows across singe applications. Taken together these technologies form the basis for a more agile, exible and adaptive Future Internet services. This tutorial covers the fundamentals of the aforementioned technologies and provides a new perspective for realizing Future Internet services leveraging these technologies.

Tutorial 4
Semantic Management of Business Processes in the Future Internet
presentation available here

Sunday, September 28, PM

Presenters:
Agata Filipowska I Department of Information Systems, Poznan University of Economics, PL
Marin Dimitrov I Ontotext Lab., Sirma Group Corp., Sofia, BG
Dumitru Roman I STI Innsbruck, AT

The proposed tutorial is to explain and demonstrate how the combination of technologies from the area of Business Process Management (BPM) and Semantic Web Services (SWS) can contribute to the vision of Internet of Services and multi-partners processes.
The tutorial will present the state of the art in the areas of BPM and SWS motivating the need for explicit use of semantics to overcome the Future Internet challenges. Next, a consolidated technical framework that integrates SWS and BPM technology will be demonstrated. The tutorial will be held by the BPM and SWS experts that actively work on integration of both technologies in the EU-funded SUPER project.
After having presented pure SWS tutorials as well as tutorials on the integration of SWS into BPM at previous conferences, we now propose the tutorial showing semantic management of processes between enterprises contributing to the vision of Internet of Services.
