The management of dynamic spectrum access requires the coordination of administrative functions across multiple organizations, from regulators to secondary market operators and commons cooperatives. Policy-based management approaches to dynamic spectrum access must therefore support a wide range of organizational types and handle the relationships between policies authored separately within those organizations. A policy language for administering dynamic access to spectrum resources has been proposed by the DARPA XG initiative. This defines an expressive and extensible language for specifying policies that determine the correct behavior of RIF transceivers as spectrum usage opportunities occur. However, this language does not yet address the mapping of policies onto the complex organizational settings that are likely to emerge in the dynamic spectrum access domain. This paper defines how the DARPA XG policy language can be integrated with a meta-policy management scheme that provides the powerful organizational modeling and policy authoring authority control needed to manage the evolution of policies in these complex organizational settings. The benefits of this integration are illustrated through a case study based on the potential use of dynamic spectrum access licenses granted in Ireland for the DySpan 2007 conference, and the organizational conflicts that even this simple scenario can yield. The practical issues of administering a multi-organizational policy management system are examined through an analysis of the interactions between existing components that are being assembled to demonstrate sophisticated policy management of a cognitive radio system.

Activity-based personalized eLearning involves delivering to a learner a learning experience that is tailored to their individual needs. Traditionally, these needs have been met through the personalized selection of content that fits the learner's preferences. However, by coupling this approach with the possibilities of interactive services a more engaging form of personalized education may be realized. This paper describes the design principles for producing activity-based personalized distance learning offerings.

The use of formal knowledge representation structures, or ontologies, has found immense applicability for the interoperability of software systems, e.g., alignment of software and business process models. Toward the management of such knowledge structures, an important foundational problem is that of ontology reuse - it is uncommon for new applications or for different components within one application to use an already available ontology in its entirety. Depending on component specific requirements, typical re-usages are restricted to refined versions of an existing ontology, with the refinement taking the form of a contraction of the knowledge contained therein. Furthermore, when the ontology is used to ascribe meaning to independently existing 'resources' (e.g., documents collections, source code, software manuals, process template repositories) by way of meta-data, there exists a direct mapping between different views/re-uses of an ontology and their respective semantic scopes within an annotated resource repository thereby leading to the concept of view/reuse dependent resource retrieval. We implement a framework that supports ontology reuse by way of a requirement driven sub-ontology extraction methodology. Additionally, based on this concept of a sub-ontology, we implement the idea of a user/component 'requirement profile' consisting of semantic descriptions of the user's interest within a 'resource repository' that has been annotated with semantic types from the ontology under consideration. A generic framework that implements these ideas and its application in the domains of medical information retrieval systems and business process management systems (BPMS) is presented.

BibSonomy is a web-based social resource sharing system which allows users to organise and share bookmarks and publications in a collaborative manner. Apart from standard folksonomy features such as an intuitive user interface, navigation along all dimensions, or browser integration via RSS feeds, BibSonomy provides tag hierarchies, group management and privacy features, and numerous import and export functions.
Social resource sharing systems like YouTube and *** have acquired a large number of users within the last few years. They provide rich resources for data analysis, information retrieval, and knowledge discovery appli...

We present here an approach for dynamic ontology integration for a multi-agent environment, in which each agent holds the ontologies of its acquaintances (i.e., other agents of its interest) as the integrated partial global ontology, which is essential to interpret the local schemas for inter-agent operations. This integration has to be carried out whenever a new acquaintance is added or when the local ontology of an acquaintance changes. The approach described is general (i.e., independent of any particular thesaurus) and it carries out the integration automatically except for minimal unavoidable human inputs to resolve semantic conflicts if discovered in the process.

When deploying collaborative applications such as instant messaging in ubiquitous computing environments significant enhancements can be afforded by offering additional context information, such as location information. However, such environments exert key challenges such as increased diversity of ownership and ad hoc, intermittent network connectivity that suits more decentralized computing architectures. This paper examines how a migration to a more decentralized collaborative architecture can be achieved together with a decentralization of the management of collaborative activities
