Description:
IT networks are identified as complex systems with the
expanding structures, updating hardware devices and
software, integrating with heterogeneous network devices
and networks, improving network functions and performance,
emerging developed network application and network based
services. The increasing evolution in IT networks brings lots
of new vulnerabilities to networks and related online services,
and the challenges in network protection, management,
modeling and designing for future networks.
Security in existing and Future Networks (i.e. Future Internet)
is a subject that continues to receive a lot of attention from
research and industrial communities, especially due to the
fact that Future Networks must exhibit various in-built security
mechanisms. The same applies to other Management aspects
for Future Networks (i.e. Future Internet), whereby certain
capabilities must be incorporated into the architecture from the
dawn of designing an architecture, and not as an afterthought.
Such capabilities include Self-Management Capabilities,
Trust, various forms of Mobility Management features
and mechanisms, etc. The other aspect that is becoming
increasingly important in the design of Future Networks,
including in the evolving networks, is that of Modeling and
associated Tools, since models are increasingly becoming
important both in network design and for guiding the operation
of networks e.g. Federation Models, etc. The implementation
of network security, management, modeling and toots in
evolving networks helps to realize the self-* management
(self-configuration, self-healing, self-optimization and selfprotection),
proactive, autonomic, controllable management
for future IT networks. The session will provide a forum to
researchers to propose theories, technologies and experience
on network security, management, modeling & tools for Future
Internet/networks.
Semantic Web Technologies in Software
Engineering
Chair:
Dr. Radmila Juric
Description:
The session illustrates the applicability of Semantic Web
Technologies in software engineering in terms of addressing:
• The problem of interoperability of data, repositories,
applications and systems through ontologies, which
consequently includes reusability of data and application
architectures and models.
• Development of semantic-based software and assistive
tools which can be used across domains for various
needs in software and web engineering, including search,
retrieval and recommender systems.
• Managing and manipulating the semantics stored in
software systems for different purposes such as decision
making, workflow and business process management,
interpreting social intensive data and environments
which are situation and context specific, mining data and
information.
• Creating new techniques in software engineering, which
manipulate semantics stored in ontologies and deploying
the Semantic Web Technology stack and languages in
software applications which are data centric, pervasive
and ubiquitous.
We are particularly interested in exploiting the power of
OWL/SWRL enabled ontologies in software engineering and
