Tables are an integral part of documents, reports and Web pages in many scientific and technical domains, compactly encoding important information that can be difficult to express in text. Table-like structures outside documents, such as spreadsheets, CSV files, log files and databases, are widely used to represent and share information. However, tables remain beyond the scope of regular text processing systems which often treat them like free text.

Today, MSC information, which is typically published either on the supplier’s web site or registered at an e-marketplace portal, has been shown to fall short of the interoperability and accuracy requirements. This issue can be addressed by annotating the MSC information using shared ontologies. However, ontology-based approach...]]></description>

Current state-of-the-art IDPSs are point based solutions that perform a simple analysis of host or network data and then flag an alert.  Only known attacks whose signatures have been identified and stored in some form can be discovered by most of these systems.  They cannot detect attacks that use low-and-slow vectors.

  <description><![CDATA[An important requirement of any information management system is to protect data and resources against leak or improper modifications, while at the same time ensure data availability to legitimate users. Moreover, systems handling personal data must also track its provenance and be regularly audited to comply with regulations. By assuring auditable, privacy policy compliant actions, we can also guarantee that areas where privacy policies have been technically enforced are highlighted.

Users need better ways to explore linked open data collections and obtain information from it. Using SPARQL requires not only mastering its syntax and semantics but also understanding the RDF data model, the ontology used by the DBpedia, and URIs for entities of interest.  Natural language question answering systems solve the problem, but these are still subjects of research. We are developing a compromise approach in which non-experts specify a graphical ``skeleton'' for a query and anno...]]></description>

Acting as a record-keeper, this agent tracks a user's context by acquiring information from external sources (e.g., the context brokers in different smart spaces). Acting as an information provider, this agent shares the updated context information about a user with systems that attempt to provide services to the user.

Mobile/wireless devices are treated as clients that are data consumers only, while data sources are on servers that typically reside on the wired network. With the advent of pervasive computing environments, an alternative scenario arises where mobile devices gather and exchange data from not just wired sources, but also from their ethereal environment and one another.
