- The role of ontologies in knowledge base systems is gradually increasing. Along with the growth of Internet based applications and e- commerce, the need for easy interoperability between ontologies is paramount. Today methodologies and design guidelines for building and developing ontologies from scratch exist, and others have focused on evolving step-by-step growth of ontologies as shall be discussed in this paper. However, we find inadequate aid in the design of distributed, heterogeneous and multi-functioned, application ontology, primarily aimed to be the central hub for interoperability between a number of other applications which may or may not be ontology based. In this paper, we present a logical context based ontology design architecture in the form of Principle-Subject-Support(PSS) pattern. The PSS pattern has been used as a guide to analyze and model several perspectives involved in a practical case study carried out in a military network simulation project to build a distributed repository ontology (DRONT) for interoperability.

- Verification, Validation and Accreditation is an important part of the Modeling and Simulation domain. This paper focuses on legacy simulations and examines two VV&A approaches coming from different communities of the defense. We use the Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) to describe both approaches and demonstrate their applicability to any business environment involving M&S, and thus constitute them reusable for any given intended use. Furthermore, under this notation we point out differences and similarities and give insights on how they could complement each other matching one's needs and policies.

Contract workflow model patterns using BPMN
- 2005
-
Ingår i: CEUR Workshop Proceedings. ; , s. 171-182

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Business Process Models are typically used to express inter or intra - enterprise business activities/processes. Contractual obligations need to be fulfilled through execution of business processes on behalf of the contracting parties. To do so, business contract terms and conditions need to be semantically integrated to existing internal business process models. Contract obligation, performance, nonperformance and other related concepts have been expressed as conceptual models in a Multi-Tier Contract Ontology (MTCO). Based on the MTCO, business process modelers may model the contract obligation fulfillment process as Contract Workflow Models(CWM) using Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) diagrams. The paper discusses the ongoing research and choices made in the semantic translation from contract obligations to CWM-BPMN Diagrams. Some of the contract workflow patterns are also presented.

ECA rule ontology - Modelling prescriptive rules as descriptive ontology
- 2007
-
Ingår i: WEBIST 2007. - 9789728865788 ; , s. 408-415

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Ontology is said to be descriptive in contrast to the prescriptive nature of typical behaviour, process or rules. However, rules and behaviour models are in themselves a domain of re usable shared knowledge. Whether in the domain of enterprise systems or in military modelling and simulations, we find instances of such 'prescriptive' body of knowledge. While capturing such 'rules' as programmatic axioms using rule languages may be viable, it does not help us is establishing the reusable domain knowledge. In this paper, we combine software engineering technique based on the Event Condition Action logic to propose the ECA Rule Ontology as a mechanism for capturing such prescriptive rules as ontological conceptualisations. We exemplify our approach by applying it to the domain of military operations modelling and simulations.
