Summary

The Scientific Session "WSML/Flora Reasoner" focused on the reasoning engine to be used and integrated in the project. The usage of semantic information on services and the reasoning about it is one of the most important requirements for the ASG platform in order to fulfil proper service composition and discovery. A reasoning engine needs to accomplish tasks such as querying ontologies and looking for pre-conditions, post-conditions, assumptions and effects in order to find and match states of services for their use in a service composition which best fulfils a given user goal. The main goal of the workshop was on discussing technical details and requirements on both functional and non-functional aspects. As a result a list of requirements was elaborated and timeframes for implementation and integration into the ASG prototype were set.

Since the Integrated Project ASG is combining various R&D sub-projects it is vital to find common solutions in order to enable a successful project ongoing. Scientific Sessions and workshops foster the exchange of knowledge and expertise between researchers and developers covering different and related fields of research. The workshop gave a good example for joining many competencies of ASG partners in order to facilitate continuation of prototype development in ASG.

Main Topics

  • Current Status of WSML/Flora Reasoner

  • Integration of Reasoner into the ASG prototype
  • Test-cases and Scenario run-through

Outcomes

  • Finalized List of functional and non-functional requirements for the WSML Reasoner, such as specified inputs and outputs, reasoning tasks etc.
  • Timeframe for continuing and finishing Reasoner implementation
