As such, it is now being applied in many research projects in a number of different network management and security scenarios. ... http://blogs.springer.com/jnsm/articles/ontology-based-network-management-study-cases-and-lessons-learned/ by Kerrigan, Mick; Mocan, Adrian; Simperl, Elena; Fensel, Dieter The lack of any methodology for modeling Semantic Web Services means that developers wishing to utilize technologies like the Web Service Modeling Ontology, the Web Service Modeling Language, and the Web Service Execution Environment are lost in a Semantic wilderness with ... http://blogs.springer.com/jnsm/articles/modeling-semantic-web-services-with-the-web-service-modeling-toolkit/ by Prieto, Álvaro E.; Lozano-Tello, Adolfo One of the applications of workflow systems is the management of administrative processes characterized by the transmission of information elements among users of an organization. Tasks contained in these processes are carried out by users responsible for confirming, modifying or adding information throughout.
