Exploratory search applications upon structured Web content is becoming one of the main information seeking paradigms for users. This is mainly due to the move towards mobile and pervasive Web access and to the more and more tight intertwining between everyday life and information seeking. Structured data is typically distributed on the Web and accessible through a service-oriented paradigm. This paper proposes a vision on: (1) a semantically-enabled service registration framework for describing in a Web data services in a convenient way; and (2) a design method for applications that exploit such model using a design pattern--based method.

In this paper we describe our experience in modeling and using sensor knowledge of a national hydrologic information system in Spain. We developed a web application called VSAIH supported by a knowledge-based system to analyze sensor data and to generate explanations that help users to make decisions based on hydrologic behavior. In the paper, we describe the characteristics of the infrastructure of hydrologic sensors and the representa- tion we used to model sensor knowledge to provide support to the VSAIH application. We also describe semi-automatic procedures that we applied to construct the final model.

Semantic sensor solutions are characterized by a lack of consensus on what features make sensor networks semantic, and what services a semantic layer should provide. Although authors emphasize the fact that humans outperform software in managing inconsistent knowledge and unreliable sensor data, no attempt has been made so far to construct a model of semantic sensor networks inspired by human cognition. The aim of the present paper is to investigate whether the structure and organisation of concepts and meaning in the human mind (as proposed by cognitive linguists and psycholinguists) can serve as a model for constructing ontologies and knowledge representations for the semantic sensor web (hereafter SSW). We also aim to show how multimodal sensory data can be integrated with these representations based on contemporary findings in human perception. We suggest that SSW solutions based on cognitive mechanisms and psychologically plausible knowledge representations overcome the challenges that handling of fuzzy data and inconsistent information generates at present.

Semantic Sensor Web would be an evolving extension of Sensor Web that introduces a semantic layer in which semantics or meanings of information are formally defined according to well-defined semantic schemas (Ontology). Semantics should improve the capabilities of collecting, retrieving, sharing, manipulating and analyzing sensor data (or associate phenomena) providing a new interoperability model: semantic interoperability introduces the interpretation of means of data allowing the engineering of novel architectures based on standard reasoners.

In recent years we have observe the increasing interest and a prevailing role of ICT in the context of factory environment. In parallel with increased sensing and actuating capabilities, the improvement in backhaul communications present a new factory scenario where more autonomous intelligent reasoning mechanisms could be envisaged. The Internet of Things (IoT) scenario that needs to be handle is characterized by highly variable spatial and temporal contexts that should be effectively managed. This paper presents and discusses the semantic management approach to complex system operation proposed by the FASyS project (Absolutely safe and Healthy Factory). Moreover, a distributed reasoning concept regarded as reasoning contexts proposed by the project is also proposed and the benefits discussed.

Current monitoring systems for chronic disease management and assisted living are advancing with giant strides, providing more complete and personalized solutions. So far, standardization and physiological tracing strategies have mostly overcome difficulties dealing with integration and interoperability. However, with the deployment of massive sensing infrastructures, another big problem appears on the scene: an enormous amount of data, coming from the different and heterogeneous sources, and trying to describe one single scenario or situation. This problem becomes more and more evident in we focus in the needs of risk prevention scenarios, where the level of complexity of the targeted indicators relays in informal and less reliable sources. This paper proposes a new architecture for data indexing and correlation that provides a semantic middleware to search and select relevant information from a complex and flexible monitoring scenario in a work environment. Risk prevention must look back for trends and patterns, and furthermore, with a personalized approach. Indexing of semantic concepts would optimize algorithms to trigger emergency situations, provide dynamic and adaptive decision support and improving lifestyle and care of both employees and patients.
