An introduction to the special issue on engineering semantic agent systems is presented. The paper by Stijn Verstichel, Femke Ongenae, Bruno Volckaert, Filip De Turck, Bart Dhoedt, and Piet Demeester is titled as An Autonomous Service Platform to Support. The paper by Stijn Verstichel, Femke Ongenae, Bruno Volckaert, Filip De Turck, Bart Dhoedt, and Piet Demeester is titled as An Autonomous Service Platform to Support. Extensive research and technology development for agents need be complemented by means of producing tangible semantic systems. Today, SAS are able to integrate the semantically retrieved knowledge in decision-making systems. It is a challenging affair to produce context-aware decision-making systems using conventional AI, where an intelligent program had no understanding of the context but only processes inputs according to the rules provided in advance. WS are not autonomous, whereas autonomy is one of the main characteristics of agents. Agents are cooperative, and by forming teams, tasks can be executed collaboratively providing more comprehensive services.

The author discusses human issues in softwareengineering and considers two technological factors that offered dramatic productivity and quality growth in the last decade. The individual differences in the performance range among software engineers are reviewed. Steps to reduce the wide variation in performance among individuals are considered. The first technological factor is having bigger machines with more memory that allowed software engineers more time to work on the task rather than wrestling with machine limitations that inhibited the task. The second technological factor was Lisp machines and the powerful programming environments that accompanied them. The author observes that hardware will still play a dramatic role in productivity growth, but that nontechnological market factors will limit the extent to which the best software ideas will be translated into industry-wide advances.< >

In 1999 The software engineering program at University of Houston-Clear Lake elected to be one to participate in the development and delivery of official Web-based course offerings. The software engineering program had operated as a distance education program for the past six years via two-way live interactive video broadcast into multiple receiving sites. The new venture into Web-based delivery would prove to be quite different from the live broadcast distance courses since the lecture components and live classroom interactions were not provided. With the live broadcast method heavy use was made of the Web to provide easy access to all assignments, supplementary material, lecture notes, class messages, bulletin boards and an ftp site for assignment submission. This reduced phone and email time with the distance students dramatically and if certainly helped with the transition to the development of strictly Web-based courses. However, the content-related materials that had been provided to support the broadcast courses were found to be inadequate once the live lecture component was removed and the course become strictly Web-based. Fall 2000 will see the completion of the design, development and testing of three strictly Web-based softwareengineering courses that will form the basis for a certificate in Fundamentals of softwareengineering which will be issued by the School of Natural and Applied Science. The paper presents an overview of the activities that took place during the effort and the basic process used.

Risk management is an important part of software development. Risk identification is the first major step in the risk management process that determines possible risks in a software project and dictates how effective the risk management process will be. However, there are several approaches used to identify risk. The approaches depend on subjective decisions of risk or domain experts which increase cost and workload. Therefore, to make the risk identification more effective, a systematic and automated approach is necessary. In this paper, we propose an alternative risk identification scheme using knowledgeable ontology representing risk taxonomy and CMMI project planning guideline. The ontology provides the relations among risk factors and software project risks according to the structure of risk taxonomy and the relevant process areas in CMMI. In this paper, we focus and demonstrate the CMMI project planning process area as an initiative to construct our ontology. The resulting ontology is supportive as expected and scalable to handle more on the other process areas of CMMI and the addition of the software project risks.

Information technology is introduced to agriculture in order to improve all the cultivating process and the quality of the products. In this article, we propose a method to organize the cultivated knowledge with a focus on the life cycle process, based on the concept of lightweight ontology. We also propose a method for acquiring the knowledge easily by applying the technology of softwareengineering. We interviewed the farmers cultivating high quality mandarin orange and organized the ontology using the proposed method, and show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
