Beschreibungen

<P>Current middleware solutions, e.g., application servers and Web services, are very complex software products that are hard to tame because of intricacies of distributed systems. Their functionalities have mostly been developed and managed with the help of administration tools&nbsp;and corresponding configuration files, recently in XML. Though this constitutes flexibility for developing and administrating a distributed application, the conceptual model underlying the different configurations is only implicit.</P>
<P>To remedy such problems, <STRONG>Semantic Management of Middleware</STRONG> contributes an ontology-based approach to support the development and administration of middleware-based applications. The ontology is an explicit conceptual model with formal logic-based semantics. Its descriptions may therefore be queried, may foresight required actions, or may be checked to avoid inconsistent system configurations.</P>
<P>This book builds a rigorous approach towards giving the declarative descriptions of components and services a well-defined meaning by specifying ontological foundations and by showing how such foundations may be realized in practical, up-and-running systems.</P>

<P>Current middleware solutions, such as application servers and Web services, are very complex software products that are hard to tame because of the intricacies of distributed systems. So far, their functionalities have mostly been developed and managed with the help of administration tools and corresponding configuration files, recently in XML. Though this constitutes a very flexible way of developing and administrating a distributed application, the disadvantage is that the conceptual model underlying the different configurations is only implicit. Hence, its bits and pieces are difficult to retrieve, survey, check for validity and maintain.</P>
<P></P>
<P>To remedy such problems, <STRONG>SEMANTIC MANAGEMENT OF MIDDLEWARE</STRONG> contributes an ontology-based approach to support the development and administration of middleware-based applications. The ontology is an explicit conceptual model with formal logic-based semantics. Therefore, its descriptions may be queried, may foresight required actions, or may be checked to avoid inconsistent system configurations. <STRONG>SEMANTIC MANAGEMENT OF MIDDLEWARE</STRONG> builds a rigorous approach towards giving the declarative descriptions of components and services a well-defined meaning by specifying ontological foundations and by showing how such foundations may be realized in practical, up-and-running systems.</P>
<P></P>
<P><STRONG>SEMANTIC MANAGEMENT OF MIDDLEWARE</STRONG> is an excellent training companion for active practitioners seeking to incorporate advanced and leading edge ontology-based approach and technologies. It is a necessary preparation manual for researchers in distributed computing who see semantics as an important enabler for the next generation. This book is also suitable for graduate-level students in computer science.</P>
Introduces the usage of semantic technologies Provides an introduction to the basics of middleware technology and a discussion of ontologies, to help readers who are not familiar with the area Includes service oriented architectures (SOA) which are considered the basis of next generation distributed software systems Preface by Amit P. Sheth, University of Georgia, USA Foreword by Steffen Staab, University of Koblenz-Landau, Germany Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
<P>This new reference provides a detailed road map on how semantics and Semantic Web technologies can play a significant role in creating a middleware system and in managing heterogeneous software systems. The book builds a rigorous approach towards giving the declarative descriptions of components and services a well-defined meaning by specifying ontological foundations and by showing how such foundations may be realized in practical, up-and-running systems. An introduction to the basics of middleware technology is provided, along with a discussion of ontologies, to help readers who are not familiar with the area to get the necessary background information.</P>
