Synopsis

As the first volume of World Scientific Encyclopedia with Semantic Computing and Robotic Intelligence, this volume is designed to lay the foundation for the understanding of the Semantic Computing (SC), as a core concept to study Robotic Intelligence in the subsequent volumes.

This volume aims to provide a reference to the development of Semantic Computing, in the terms of ""meaning"", ""context"", and ""intention"". It brings together a series of technical notes, in average, no longer than 10 pages in length, each focuses on one topic in Semantic Computing; being review article or research paper, to explain the fundamental concepts, models or algorithms, and possible applications of the technology concerned.

This volume will address three core areas in Semantic Computing:

• Understanding the (possibly naturally-expressed) intentions (semantics) of users and expressing them in a machine-processable format: Semantics description languages, ontology integration, interoperability
• Understanding the meanings (semantics) of computational content (of various sorts, including, but is not limited to, text, video, audio, process, network, software and hardware) and expressing them in a machine-processable format in Multimedia, IoT, SDN, wearable computing, interfacable with mobile computing, search engines, question answering, web services, to support applications in biomedicine, healthcare, manufacturing, engineering, education, finance, entertainment, business, science and humanity
• Mapping the semantics of the user in context for content retrieval, management, creation in the form of structured data, image and video, audio and speech, big data, natural language, deep learning.

About this title

Review

"Throughout the book, references to the primary literature enable further investigation of each individual topic. Semantic Computing is ideal for industrial managers, researchers, and engineers seeking to design the next generation of computing systems in order to better meet user needs. It is also recommended as a textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate–level semantic computing courses. The articles of this volume will not be reviewed individually." ( Zentralblatt MATH, 2010)

From the Back Cover

Presents the state of the technology and points to future directions for semantic computing

Semantic computing, a rapidly evolving interdisciplinary field, seeks to structure, design, and manipulate computer content to better satisfy the needs and intentions of users and create a more meaningful user experience. This remarkable contributed work examines the art, engineering, technology, and applications of the field. Moreover, it brings together researchers from such disciplines as natural language processing, software engineering, multimedia semantics, semantic Web, signal processing, and pattern recognition in order to provide a single source that presents the state of the technology and points to new breakthroughs on the horizon.

Semantic Computing begins with an introduction that explores the concepts, technology, applications, and future of semantic computing. Next, the book is divided into four parts:

• Part One: Semantic Analysis

• Part Two: Semantic Languages and Integration

• Part Three: Semantic Applications

• Part Four: Semantic Programming and Interface

As readers progress through the book, they′ll learn not only the underlying science, but also the fundamental technological building blocks of semantic computing. Moreover, they′ll discover a variety of cross–disciplinary solutions to current computing and communication problems. Throughout the book, references to the primary literature enable further investigation of each individual topic.

Semantic Computing is ideal for industrial managers, researchers, and engineers seeking to design the next generation of computing systems in order to better meet user needs. It is also recommended as a textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate–level semantic computing courses.
