Group Research Themes: Expressing formalised knowledge on a computer is useful, not especially for the need of the computer, but for communication. In future information systems, formalised knowledge will be massively exchanged. The goal of Exmo is the development of theoretical and software tools for enabling interoperability in formalised knowledge exchange. Exmo contributes to an emerging field called the semantic web which blends the communication capabilities of the web with knowledge representation. We currently build on our experience of alignments as representing the relationships between two ontologies on the semantic web. Ontology alignments express correspondences between entities in two ontologies. They allow maximising sharing on the semantic web: various algorithms can produce alignments and various uses can be made of these alignments. Such alignments can be used for generating knowledge transformations (or any other kind of mediators) that will be used for interoperating. In order to guarantee properties of these transformations, we can consider the properties of alignments and generate transformations preserving them. Our current roadmap focusses on the design of an alignment infrastructure and on the investigation of alignment properties (and especially semantic properties) when they are used for reconciling ontologies. Contribution to the WI Project: Sub-projects: Web and Mediation The web intelligence project allows us to discuss and exchange views with our colleagues through Rhône-Alpes which have similar preoccupation. In particular, we developed communication with the group of Jean-Marc Petit at LIRIS, Lyon, the Hadas group in LIG, Grenoble. We recently worked on ontology pattern with colleagues at LIRIS. We have organised several working days for presenting and discussing our work and have also organised an open workshop on mediation and scalability in 2008.

Group Research Themes:

The GETALP team is organized around four main research topics: 1. Machine Translation (MT) and Computer-Aided Translation (CAT) 2. Automatic Recognition of Speech, Speakers and Sounds 3. Lexical resources and Corpora (software and content) 4. Dialogue, communication and emotions 5. Specialized Programming Languages and Environments for NLP

Activities around these research topics share five challenges: • make computer applications multilingual and "ubilingual" • computerize under-resourced and rarely written languages by

adapting existing resources • make language-based communication multimodal (text, speech,

gestures) • propose and implement task-related evaluation methods and

tools. • use contributive interaction to collect resources, improve

tranlations, and communicate with "guaranteed meaning". Contribution to the WI Project: Sub-projects: Web and Context In the WI contexts, users should be able to access information in their own language, regardless of the language they have been written in. Current web search engine are specialized in order to gain access to the semantics of particular documents. Our goal is now the make them gain access to the semantics of specialized documents written in several languages. Our contribution is in the multilingual lexical resources field. In this field, we will study how ontological information should be organized to give an unbiased semantic access to a multilingual collection of documents. We propose to adopt strategies that have been successfully used to maintain multilingual lexical resources for general or specialized language as in the Papillon multilingual lexical database (http://www.papillon-dictionary.org).

Group Research Themes: The central issue to be resolved concerns the relationship between the user and the multi-agent system. Currently, the user is not at the heart of the design of systems that are targeted for him or her. Instead, the user is seen just as a consumer of available products that may be, to a greater or lesser extent, customizable. This naturally results in problems of trust, and leads to security and legal problems from using agents. We support the idea of a future where real and virtual worlds interpenetrate and melt into one. The consequences range from the fusion of virtual reality and real virtuality to the mutual acceptance of artificial and human agents; from the disappearance of interactional interfaces towards a dynamic management of social space; from mere production tools towards tools destined for the creation and revival of interactive and real time applications. It should be possible for the user to be the designer of a MAS application, interacting with his environment. We believe that systems should not simply be usable, which was the concern twenty years ago, or useful, which was the concern of the last ten years. Instead we believe these systems should actually be used, and used on a large scale. In 2007-2010 the group focuses on User-Centred Multi-Agent Systems. Contribution to the WI Project: The group is participating to WP2 Subproject Web and Services. The MAGMA group is currently interested by the dynamic composition of web services. We work in cooperation on these subjects with WI colleagues from St Etienne, Valence and Annecy. The group is participating to WP2 Subproject Web and Trust. The MAGMA group is currently interested by the numerical identity and by personal data protection. We work in cooperation on these subjects with WI colleagues from St Etienne, and with the support of the CNIL. The group is co-leading WP1 Usages, WP2 Web and Service, WP2 Subproject Web Future, and WP5 Evaluation.

Group Research Themes: The MRIM Team is one of leading research group in France in the areas of Information Retrieval and Information Access. The MRIM Team studies models and algorithms for efficient access to information contained in large, multimedia, multilingual and semi-structured data collections.

The research developed in the MRIM group is dedicated to Information Retrieval and access, through 3 main axes:

• Formalisation, models for Information Retrieval;

• Development of operational models. Access to electronic data includes many facets leading to several research themes among which the MRIM team focuses on the data itself (structure, type), on the access to data (multilingual, remote access), and on the individualized access (personalisation, filtering.Therefore, this axis is divided in five sub axis, linked to work on specific media: - indexing and retrieval of structured documents; - multimedia indexing and retrieval; - contextual mobile information access; - multilingual and semantic access to textual information; - personalization, information filtering and recommendation systems;

• Evaluation. We work on the final evaluation of developed systems by participating at international campaigns. We also a priori evaluate systems by working with ergonomists, psycho-physicist, etc.

A fourth axis is dedicated to integration of web-based Information Systems. This aims at addressing issues that arise when designers want to assemble pieces of Information Systems accessible by means of web services whose interfaces are incompatible on both functional and non-functional dimensions of their interfaces. Specifically, we have been working on: - Transactional properties of a composition of services: services that enter into compositions with other services may have transactional properties, especially those in the broad area of resource management (e.g. booking services). These transactional properties may be exploited in order to derive composite services which themselves exhibit certain transactional properties. - Compatibility of service interactions: interactions between two applications encapsulated into Web services consist in series of message exchanges that must conform to service interfaces. The issues we are interested in are those that arise when interactions between two services (a client and a provider) fail because their interfaces are incompatible.

Contribution to the WI Project: MRIM group members have been contributed to Web and Services, Web and Context, and Web and Mediation sub-projects of the WP2.

Group Research Themes: The STEAMER group research mainly focuses on the representation and the processing of spatio-temporal and multimedia information systems.

Our objective is to propose formalisms and methods in order to offer some progresses in the conceptualization, implementation and use of spatial and temporal multimedia information systems.

Today, access to information is ubiquitous. Consequently, these systems are to be deployed in heterogeneous and mobile environments. We address these problems through the notion of adaptation.

Our approach consists in taking into account the diversity of users (in terms of their needs, priorities, levels of understanding, etc.) and various potential contexts of use (work stations, mobile phones, fixed or variable location, Web, etc.), in order to propose both adapted services and adapted information to users in terms of contents and presentation.

Our research encompasses the conceptualization and development of middleware and frameworks relying on the possibilities of object-oriented knowledge systems and structured or semi-structured formalisms (objects, xml, ontologies…), as well as Web technologies (Web mapping, Web services…).

Our research takes place in the area of Geographic Information Systems (interactive cartography, spatial analysis, mobile GIS, location-based services), a domain of research known as geomatics, with applications in the field of natural risks prevention.

The 3 main research themes of the STEAMER team are:

1. Representation of Spatio-Temporal Information

2. Context-Awareness and Mobility

3. Adaptation and Geovizualisation of Multimedia and Spatio-Temporal Information:

Group Research Themes : Knowledge Management is the theme which best synthesizes the scientific activity of the Osiris team. The initial research work on a data model unifying databases and knowledge bases has given its name to the group. Ontologies have since become a major research theme, enlightening the other research themes of the group. The design of Information Systems is guided by an ontological model which enables the user to express his/her view of the application domain in a direct way, close to his/her way of thinking. This is opposed to the current approach in object models which imposes prior and implicit choices of representation. Integration of existing systems implies first to perform reverse engineering of databases, which generally evolve in an uncontrolled and unspecified manner, without guaranteeing their global consistency. Ontologies are at the very heart of this process, as a support to restore a high-level view from a present situation which has deteriorated conceptually over the years. Finally, an Osiris knowledge base is a direct implementation of an ontology for decision aid purposes. Contribution to the WI Project Sub-project MIRO: Multilingual Information Retrieval guided by Ontologies Sharing of the experience of management of ontologies and their application to multilingual semantic annotation and retrieval in the IP project NOESIS (6th FP). In this project, dedicated to the management and visualization of medical knowledge, the Osiris team designed an environment for the design and the multilingual enrichment of ontologies from texts. This was applied to the enrichment of an ontology of the cardiovascular domain in five languages. A PhD thesis on a multilingual concept-based terminology of the ordinary language of lay people was also presented in the course of the WI project. The objective of this work is to help lay people find electronic resources such as documents or web pages by using their mother tongue and with everyday words, e.g., bruise for haematoma or hair loss for alopecia.

Group Research Themes:

The research of Graphs, Algorithms and Applications - G2Ap group turns around the combinatorial and algorithmic aspects of graphs and their applications for the modelling and resolution of optimization problems.

The G2Ap group researches are based on the three following words:

- Graphs: in this theme, we are interested by the study of structures in graphs and graph parameters.

- Algorithms: In addition to graph structures and parameters, the G2Ap group is interested by the distributed, self-stabilizing and dynamic algorithms. These algorithms are used to better organize distributed and/or dynamic systems and to improve the communication between their entities. Moreover, more recently, the G2Ap group gives particular interest to the study of the dynamic algorithms and graphs.

- Applications: the G2Ap group is interested by application fields for which the graphs are powerful tools for modelling and problem resolution. Among application fields which interest the G2Ap group: P2P systems, data mining and Web services. Contribution to the WI Project : Sub-projects : Web and Services The graphs and algorithms are the powerful tools for modelling applications in the Internet. Our contribution in WI project consists to apply graph models and algorithmic aspects for discovering, composing and classifying web services in centralised, distributed (P2P) and mobile environments.

Group Research Themes: Research at ERIC is organized around three fundamental theoretical axes:

• Complex data warehousing and OLAP (French acronym: ENA-DC): data integration, multidimensional modeling and OLAP navigation in complex data warehouses ;

• Data mining and machine learning (French acronym: FODA): theoretical and algorithmical works for analyzing, summarizing and modeling (for prediction) huge corpora of complex data ;

• Decision and complexity (DECCO): design of new models in environments where multiple agents interact within the decision process ;

and is applied onto two main transversal application domains: • Health and Environment ; • Humanities and social sciences (French acronym: SHS).

Contribution to the WI Project: ERIC has recently joined the WI Project. The planned contributions to the WI project are organised along the two subprojects “Web and Context” and “Web and Mediation” Subproject Web and Context In this subproject the ERIC members are interested in the development of models for personalization and recommendation in the context of the Web. This issue concerns not only information retrieval, but also data warehouses. These latter are user-centred for the analysis process of various types of data (complex data) including data from the Web and require some personalization techniques. This means a real challenge. Subproject Web and Mediation In this subproject, the ERIC members are more specifically keen on the issue of graphs. Indeed, in the context of social web, and more particularly social networks, recent works have pointed out the interest of representing such Web data with graphs. It is the case of forums, chats, etc. which are an increasingly wide on the Web. The aim is then to focus on various aspects such as the dynamic (evolution), the multiple points of view etc. We will deal these points both with respect to visualization and knowledge extraction techniques.

Group Research Themes: The project Data Mining and Machine Learning is centered on the automatical extraction of information from data, using computational and statistical methods. The aim is to design and develop new models and methods in machine learning and data mining to tackle real world applications. A specific effort is made to take into account in our algorithms the specificities of the real data, such as transcriptomic data, xml documents, images, log files, social networks, etc. which can be voluminous, noisy, incomplete, irrelevant and often structured in the form of document, sequence, or tree-based representation. Contribution to the WI Project: Sub-project: Web and context Fouille et Recherche d’Information Structurée (FRISe) (Cooperative action) In databases or on Web, many documents are in a structured format (e.g. XML, HTML, MPEG, etc.). Our action focuses on the problems of representation and indexation of such documents in the context of categorisation or information retrieval applications. We study the way of exploiting the structure of the document as well as the different types of data (text, tags, links, images) that it contains. This action is also concerned with the definition of similarity measures well suited for data mining and information retrieval tasks. Sub-project: Web and trust Privacy Preserving Multi-Agent Systems In cooperation with the LIG (Grenoble) we work also on complex systems using the multi-agent paradigm. In this framework, we develop the concept of "Hippocratic multi-agent systems", the aim of which is to take into account mechanisms of privacy management in such systems.

Group Research Themes: The ISCOD group develops theoretical models and computational tools for open, decentralized and cooperative systems. The aim is to address the challenges attached to the development of a transparent and intelligent mediation between contents, services and humans in the global context of the Web of Things that is strongly connecting the Web of data and services to the physical world.

Research is conducted along three directions: (i) knowledge and context for the access and the use of digital content, (ii) proactivity and reactivity for the coordination and adaptation of services (iii) trust and privacy in a digital society. These studies contribute to the fields of Information Retrieval, Trust and Security, Trace Analysis and Multi Agent Systems.

Contribution to the WI Project: WP2 subproject Web and Services: In this subproject, we are considering the problem of dynamic composition and adaptation of Web services. The main challenge is to propose and empower users with goal-directed orchestration and composition reasoning agents accessing services proposed on the Web. WP2 subproject Web and Context: Our work in the Information Retrieval domain studies how the user peculiarities recorded in a user profile can be used to improve search results. Secondly, we work on methods to extend some paradigms of information retrieval to the case of structured documents that are becoming more and more numerous in the Web. WP2 subproject Web and Trust: In this subproject we are interested in the development of models of trust/reputation and normative systems in the context of privacy preserving within applications deployed on the Web. The challenge is to propose and provide the user with a platform where his/her privacy is preserved while sharing personal data and expecting an increased tailored interaction with the system. The group is co-leading the Web Intelligence Project, the WP2 subproject Web and Trust and WP3 related to Education/curriculum on Web Intelligence.

Group Research Themes:

The CoSy group addresses the notion of cooperating complex systems using the multiagent paradigm, to express these systems and their components according to models inspired from human and life sciences. A multi-agent system is a set of intelligent agents which operate in a common environment, which interact and pursue a set of goals or a set of actions. Works are focused on the concept of system analysis that can be viewed following different axis, either as the first phase of the design process of a new system or as the process of evaluation of an existing system. These axis are today the two main missing items we need to improve to cover properly the life cycle of multi-agent systems development. The aim, among other things, is to propose models, formalisms and a framework for the engineering of open complex systems based on the multi-agent concept. A specific effort is made in direction of validation and simulation techniques to meet the specification requirements of most critical applications (Embedded systems, Internet services…) Contribution to the WI Project: Sub-projects: Web and Services - Web and Context In the WI context applications (electronic commerce, collaborative information systems …) can be viewed as artificial complex systems. Software have a lot of components with autonomous behaviours. These systems are collections of open software entities dynamically interacting by exchanging knowledge and services. Our contribution is situated in the "Web and Services" and "Web and Context" themes. We apply our approach to Web services dynamic composition. Up to now web services composition remain too static to face the Internet dynamicity. It would be profitable to adapt the composition in function of execution events taking into account user preferences. We propose to employ recursive multiagent systems able to make the integration of both semantic properties (traducing user preferences) and a dynamic execution adaptation.
