In this work, handwritten word recognition problem is modeled in the framework of hidden
Markov model (HMM). The states of HMM are identified with the letters of the alphabet. The …

We argue for the usefulness of abductive reasoning in the context of ontologies. We discuss
several applicaton scenarios in which various forms of abduction would be useful, introduce …

More and more resources are becoming available on the Web, and there is a growing need

Matchmaking arises when supply and demand meet in an electronic marketplace, or when
agents search for a web service to perform some task, or even when recruiting agencies …

Ranking and optimization of web service compositions represent challenging areas of
research with significant implications for the realization of the “Web of Services” …

In this paper we present a Description Logic approach to extended matchmaking between
Demands and Supplies in an Electronic Marketplace, which allows the semantic-based …

Optimizating semantic Web service compositions is known to be NP-hard, so most
approaches restrict the number of services and offer poor scalability. We address the …

As a greater number of Web Services are made available, support for service discovery
mechanisms become essential. Services can have quite different Quality of Service …

In this paper, we present an approach to hybrid semantic Web service selection of semantic
services in SAWSDL based on logicbased matching as well as text retrieval strategies. We …

Several applications require the matching of user profiles, eg, job recruitment or dating
systems. In this paper we present a logical framework for specifying user profiles that allows …
