Martín Serrano

Applied Ontology Engineering in Cloud Services, Networks and Management Systems

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Metadata standards in today's ICT sector are proliferating at unprecedented levels, while automated information management systems collect and process exponentially increasing quantities of data. With interoperability and knowledge exchange identified as a core challenge in the sector, this book examines the role ontology engineering can play in providing solutions to the problems of information interoperability and linked data. At the same time as introducing basic concepts of ontology engineering, the book discusses methodological approaches to formal representation of data and information models, thus facilitating information interoperability between heterogeneous, complex and distributed communication systems. In doing so, the text advocates the advantages of using ontology engineering in telecommunications systems. In addition, it offers a wealth of guidance and best-practice techniques for instances in which ontology engineering is applied in cloud services, computer networks and management systems.

Engineering and computer science professionals (infrastructure architects, software developers, service designers, infrastructure operators, engineers, etc.) are today confronted as never before with the challenge of convergence in software solutions and technology. This book will help them respond creatively to what is sure to be a period of rapid development.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"The author presents the basics of ontology engineering and shows how it might be used in networks. ... The presentation is clear, and readers don't need to be familiar with the problems of ontologies. ... I can recommend the book for undergraduate students and engineers who expect to deal with cloud systems and network management, and especially for networkers who would like to get better acquainted with knowledge engineering." (Piotr Cholda, ACM Computing Reviews, March, 2013)
