Entity Identification Problem in Big and Open Data
Big and Open Data provide great opportunities to businesses to enhance their competitive advantages if
utilized properly. However, during past few yearsâ research in Big and Open Data process, we have
encountered big challenge in entity identification reconciliation, when trying to establish accurate
relationships between entities from different data sources. In this paper, we present our innovative Intelligent
Reconciliation Platform and Virtual Graphs solution that addresses this issue. With this solution, we are able
to efficiently extract Big and Open Data from heterogeneous source, and integrate them into a common
analysable format. Further enhanced with the Virtual Graphs technology, entity identification reconciliation
is processed dynamically to produce more accurate result at system runtime. Moreover, we believe that our
technology can be applied to a wide diversity of entity identification problems in several domains, e.g., e-

Towards an Intelligent Workflow Designer based on the Reuse of Workflow Patterns
In order to perform process-aware information systems we need sophisticated methods and concepts for designing and modeling processes. Recently, research on workflow patterns has emerged in order to increase the reuse of recurring workflow structures. However, current workflow modeling tools do not provide functionalities that enable users to define, query, and reuse workflow patterns properly. In this paper we gather a suite for both process modeling and normalization based on workflow patterns reuse. This suite must be used in the extension of some workflow design tool. The suite comprises components for the design of processes
from both legacy systems and process modeling
Pro-active Meeting Assistants: Attention Please!
This paper gives an overview of pro-active meeting assistants, what they are and when they can be useful. We explain how to develop such assistants with respect to requirement definitions and elaborate on a set of Wizard of Oz experiments, aiming to find out in which form a meeting assistant should operate to be accepted by participants and whether the meeting effectiveness and efficiency can be improved by an assistant at all.

From the buzzing in Turingâs head to machine intelligence contests
This paper presents an analysis of three major contests for machine intelligence. We conclude that a new era for Turingâs test requires a fillip in the guise of a committed
sponsor, not unlike DARPA, funders of the successful 2007
Urban Challenge
Informatics Research Institute (IRIS) September 2008 newsletter
2007-8 was a very busy year for IRIS. It was a bumper year for visiting Profs with Prof Michael Myers visiting from New Zealand, Prof Brian Fitzgerald visiting from University of Limerick, Ireland, Prof. Uzay Kaymak visiting from Erasmus University Netherlands and Prof Steve
Sawyer visiting from Pennsylvania State University, USA. Their visits enriched our doctoral school, seminar programme workshops and our research. We were very lucky to have such a distinguished line up of visiting professors and we offer them hearty thanks and hope to keep
ongoing research links with them
