Industrial Ontologies Group Our History

• 1978-1984 We took part in development of the
  first in USSR Industrial Natural Language
  Processing System DESTA, which included
  semantic analysis and ontologies
• 1985-1989 - We took part in development of the
  first in USSR Industrial Automated Natural
  Language Programming System ALISA, which
  Enabled Semantic Annotation, Discovery and
  Integration of software components (prototype of
  today's Semantic Web Services concept)

Industrial Ontologies Group Our History

• 1990-1993 under name of Metaintelligence Lab.
  we were piloting concept of a Metasemantic
  Network (triplet-based (meta-)knowledge
  representation model) prototype of todays
  RDF-based knowledge representation in Semantic
  Web
• 1994-2000 various projects with industrial
  partners, e.g. MetaAtom Semantic Diagnostics
  of Ukrainian Nuclear Power Stations based on
  Metaknowledge MetaHuman industrial medical
  diagnostics expert system based on
  Metaknowledge Jeweler metamodelling and
  control of industrial processes, etc. got
  several research grants from Finnish Academy

Industrial Ontologies Group Our History

• 2000-2001 we have created branches in Vrije
  Universiteit Amsterdam (heart of Semantic Web
  activities in Europe) where now working 5 our
  former team members, in Jyvaskyla University
  (several tens of researchers) and established
  research groups in Kharkov (Ukraine) on Data
  Mining, Educational Ontologies, Telemedicine,
  etc.
• 2001-2003 we took part in MultiMeetMobile Tekes
  Project, in InBCT Tekes Project in Tempus EU
  Compact Project in (or in cooperation with)
  University of Jyvaskyla where we further promote
  Semantic Web concepts.

Industrial Ontologies Group Our History

• 2004-2007 we worked on SmartResource Tekes
  Project (in cooperation with TeliaSonera, Metso
  Automation, TietoEnator, ABB, Science Park,
  University of Jyvaskyla) which is fully based on
  our views and approaches for implementation of
  Semantic Web technology. We are also performing
  the IdeaMentoring- I and IdeaMentoring- II
  projects funded by NOKIA to provide solutions for
  implementing Semantic Web Technology to mobile
  applications and services.

7
Industrial Ontologies Group Our History

• 2007- we are working on UBIWARE Tekes Project
  (in cooperation with ABB, Fingrid, Metso
  Automation, Metso Shared Services, Nokia, Hansa
  Ecuras Oy., Inno-W, University of Jyvaskyla)
  which further develops our concepts and platforms
  based on Semantic and Agent technologies
  integration. Working on ICT SHOK, FP7 and EU
  Tempus applications

Global Understanding Environment (GUN)
Our invention
GUN can be considered as a kind of Ubiquitous
Eco-System for Ubiquitous Society, which will be
such proactive, self-managed evolutionary
Semantic Web of Things, People and Abstractions
where all kinds of entities can understand,
interact, serve, develop and learn from each
other.

SmartResource project
S m a r t R e s o u r c e
Tekes Project (2004-2006)

• SmartResource Proactive Self-Maintained
  Resources in Semantic Web Tekes project
  (2004-2006) http//www.mit.jyu.fi/ai/OntoGroup/Sm
  artResource.htm .
• One of the most essential results of the
  SmartResource project was creation of the Smart
  Resource Technology for designing complex
  software systems. The technology allows
  considering each traditional system component as
  a smart resource, i.e. proactive, agent-driven,
  self-managing. Such approach has shown certain
  advantages comparably to other software
  technologies, e.g. OOSE, SOA, Component-Based SE,
  Agent-Driven SE, Semantic SE, etc.

What is UBIWARE (in short)

• UBIWARE is a new software technology and a tool
  to support
• design and installation of,
• autonomic operation of and
• Interoperability among
• complex, heterogeneous, open, dynamic and
  self-configurable distributed industrial
  systems
• and to provide following services for system
  components
• adaptation
• automation
• centralized or P2P organization
• coordination, collaboration, interoperability and
  negotiation
• self-awareness, communication and observation
• data and process integration
• (semantic) discovery, sharing and reuse.

UBIWARE Project
"Smart Semantic Middleware for Ubiquitous"
Computing

• Due to heterogeneity of provided services and
  supported components, UBIWARE is based on
  integration of several technologies Semantic
  Web, Distributed Artificial Intelligence and
  Agent Technologies, Ubiquitous Computing, SOA
  (Service-Oriented Architecture), Web X.0, P2P and
  related concepts.
• The research and design on UBIWARE is started by
  Industrial Ontologies Group within UBIWARE
  project Smart Semantic Middleware for
  Ubiquitous Computing (June 2007 May 2010)
  funded by Tekes and industrial companies.
