"The book provides a sound theoretical foundation for the application of semantic methods, concepts, technologies for practical problem solving offering original research on advanced concepts, methods, algorithms, technologies, and applications of semantic computing in real-world situations"--

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:

This comprehensive text explains the principles and practice of Web services and relates all concepts to practical examples and emerging standards. Its discussions include: Ontologies Semantic web technologies Peer-to-peer service discovery Service selection Web structure and link analysis Distributed transactions Process modelling Consistency management. The application of these technologies is clearly explained within the context of planning, negotiation, contracts, compliance, privacy, and network policies. The presentation of the intellectual underpinnings of Web services draws from several key disciplines such as databases, distributed computing, artificial intelligence, and multi-agent systems for techniques and formalisms. Ideas from these disciplines are united in the context of Web services and service-based applications. Featuring an accompanying website and teacher’s manual that includes a complete set of transparencies for lectures, copies of open-source software for exercises and working implementations, and resources to conduct course projects, this book makes an excellent graduate textbook. It will also prove an invaluable reference and training tool for practitioners.

Semantic computing is critical for the development of semantic systems and applications that must utilize semantic analysis, semantic description, semantic interfaces, and semantic integration of data and services to deliver their objectives. Semantic computing has enormous capabilities to enhance the efficiency and throughput of systems that are based on key emerging concepts and technologies such as semantic web, internet of things, blockchain technology, and knowledge graphs. Thus, research that expounds advanced concepts, methods, technologies, and applications of semantic computing for solving challenges in real-world domains is vital. Advanced Concepts, Methods, and Applications in Semantic Computing is a scholarly reference book that provides a sound theoretical foundation for the application of semantic methods, concepts, and technologies for practical problem solving. It is designed as a comprehensive and reliable resource on how semantic-oriented approaches can be used to aid new emergent technologies and tackle real-world problems. Covering topics that include deep learning, machine learning, blockchain technology, and semantic web services, this book is ideal for professionals, academicians, researchers, and students working in the field of semantic computing in various disciplines, including but not limited to software engineering, systems engineering, knowledge engineering, electronic commerce, computer science, and information technology.

With more substantial funding from research organizations and industry, numerous large-scale applications, and recently developed technologies, the Semantic Web is quickly emerging as a well-recognized and important area of computer science. While Semantic Web technologies are still rapidly evolving, Foundations of Semantic Web Technologies focuses

Advanced Topics in Global Information Management is the third in a series of books on advance topics in global information management (GIM). GIM research continues to progress, with some scholars pushing the boundaries of thinking and others challenging the status quo. *Note: This book is part of a new series entitled Advanced Topics in Global Information Management . This book is Volume Three within this series (Vol. III, 2004).

Artificial intelligence advancements, machine intelligence innovations, and semantic web developments together make up semantic intelligence technologies. The edited book integrates artifi cial intelligence, machine learning, IoT, blockchain, and natural language processing with semantic web technologies. This book also aims to offer real-life solutions to the pressing issues currently being faced by semantic web technologies.
