Author(s)
Marko Vujasinovic, Nenad Ivezic, Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Edward J. Barkmeyer Jr., Michele Missikoff, Francesco Taglino, Zoran Marjanovic, Igor Miletic
The authors discuss a semantic-mediation architecture to advance traditional approaches for standards-based business-to-business (B2B) interoperability. The architecture is supported by the ATHENA Knowledge Representation and Semantics Mediation tool suite

A Semantic-Mediation Architecture for Interoperable Supply-Chain Applications

Author(s)
Marko Vujasinovic, Nenad Ivezic, Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Edward J. Barkmeyer Jr., Michele Missikoff, Francesco Taglino, Zuran Marjanovic, Igor Miletic
This paper presents a semantic-mediation architecture that enables standards-based interoperability between heterogeneous supply-chain applications. The architecture was implemented using a state-of-the-art semantic-mediation toolset for design-time and

A Layered Approach to Semantic Similarity Analysis of XML Schemas

April 7, 2008
Author(s)
Jaewook Kim, Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Nenad Ivezic, Albert W. Jones
One of the most critical steps to integrating heterogeneous e-Business applications using different XML schemas is schema mapping, which is known to be costly and error-prone. Past schema mapping research has not fully utilized semantic information in the

Standards-Based Semantic Middleware

July 1, 2007
Author(s)
Nenad Ivezic, Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Marko Vujasinovic, Pat Snack, Zuran Marjanovic, Hyunbo Cho
We describe a novel semantics-based architecture for standards-based approaches to interoperable applications. The paper includes our experiences in prototyping the proposed architecture and demonstrating the resulting semantic middleware capability. This

A Probabilistic Framework for Semantic Similarity and Ontology Mapping

April 1, 2007
Author(s)
Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Nenad Ivezic, Albert W. Jones, Yun Peng, Zhongli Ding, Rong Pan, Yang Yu, Hyunbo Cho
We propose a probabilistic framework to address uncertainty in ontology-based semantic integration and interopera-tion. This framework consists of three main components: 1) BayesOWL that translates an OWL ontology to a Bayes-ian network, 2) SLBN

An Athena Validation Pilot Showcase for Automotive Industry

March 12, 2007
Author(s)
Nenad Ivezic, Pat Snack
The Automotive Industry Action Group- (AIAG) led consortium, formed to execute an ATHENA project validation pilot, demonstrated initial results at the AIAG Enterprise Interoperability Showcase on November 15 in Detroit, Michigan. As the basis of the ATHENA

A Case Study in Enterprise Modelling for Interoperable Cross-Enterprise Data Exchange

February 1, 2007
Author(s)
Marija Jankovic, Nenad Ivezic, T Knothe, Zuran Marjanovic, Pat Snack
In this paper, we describe an approach to validate the capability of the ATHENA-enhanced enterprise modelling solutions to capture necessary cross-organizational business information in a computable form and to exchange partial models using a proposed

Message Validation with a Semantic Reasoning Tools

September 1, 2006
Author(s)
Peter O. Denno, Nenad Ivezic
This paper describes challenges encountered in the development of a tool to validate OASIS UBL-based (Universal Business Language) messages. The software tool is ontology-based, using first-order logic and parts of the Suggested Upper Merged Ontology (SUMO

A Validation Architecture for Advanced Interoperability Provisioning

August 1, 2006
Author(s)
Nenad Ivezic, Edward J. Barkmeyer Jr., Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Albert W. Jones, Pat Snack, Zuran Marjanovic, Hyunbo Cho
We describe an architecture to validate new tools in support of interoperability provisioning processes that take place within industrial communities. We start from a best-practices standards development process where an industry community develops

Evaluating Suitability for Replacement of an Integrated Software Component

August 1, 2006
Author(s)
Boonserm Kulvatunyou, B Jeong, Hyunbo Cho, Nenad Ivezic, Albert W. Jones
An evaluation of the compatibility of a software component is based typically only on a vendor?s presentation. This means that end users select a software component only based on high-level matches of functional requirements. This can result in an

Semantic Enterprise Application Integration Standards

April 1, 2006
Author(s)
Nenad Anicic, Zuran Marjanovic, Nenad Ivezic, Albert T. Jones
This paper investigates the potential of the Semantic Web technologies to support a semantic-based Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) standards architecture. We give a detailed information of the support that these technologies and the underlying

Towards Semantic-Based Supply Chain Integration

July 1, 2005
Author(s)
Nenad Ivezic, Nenad Anicic, Albert T. Jones, Zuran Marjanovic
We describe a novel Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) architecture based on existing B2B standards. We show how such an EAI architecture can use automated reasoning tools to provide application integration support and validation capabilities. We

An Architecture for Semantic Enterprise Application Integration Standards

April 1, 2005
Author(s)
Nenad Anicic, Nenad Ivezic, Albert T. Jones
Large, industry-wide interoperability projects use syntax-based standards approaches to accomplish interoperable data exchange among enterprise applications. We are investigating Semantic Web to advance these approaches. In this paper, we describe an

Content-Level Conformance Testing: An Information Mapping Case Study

March 1, 2005
Author(s)
Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Nenad Ivezic, Albert T. Jones
Content-level conformance testing is a key to achieving interoper-able data exchange among applications deployed across collaborating, yet in-dependent enterprises. In this paper, we identify four types of content-level conformance tests to support
