Scholarship Description: The goal of the project is to develop novel ontological stream reasoning techniques to support dynamic semantic matchmaking, such as those needed in business networks. This will integrate a range of information and knowledge sources including tenders electronic information as well as information about newly available products and services, and information/knowledge from local business in order to support services such as real-time trading alerts and interactive personalised business partner recommendation as key stages in the business planning process.
This PhD will explore the issues associated with ontological stream reasoning and dynamic semantic matchmaking, and in particular will investigate the role of novel reasoning techniques, such as faithful approximations, to support incremental reasoning, not only with stream data but potentially also with stream knowledge, and how to integrate and exploit an ontological stream reasoner in a semantic social network. Evaluations of the project include the performance of the ontological stream reasoning services and its usefulness in the integrated semantic social network.
Students should have a commitment to interdisciplinary research and should have a strong background in computer science or a closely related discipline.
