Scientific Advisory Board An External Advisory Board will be appointed and will be composed of 3 members from outside of the project. Two member of the Board will be from Industry, and one from another University or Institute. Function: To monitor and review activities, evaluate results, and advertise this project to public.
Scientific Advisory Board Jim Hendler University of Maryland Frank Van Harmelen Vrie Univ.Amsterdam Michael Brodie Chief Scientist, Verizon Information Technology
Governing Board • Membership: 8 representatives, one from each participating institutions: the University of Trento will chair the Board. • Function: To design activities, make decisions, coordinate and supervise all project activities, propose and organize meetings among the partners, and disseminate results.
Executive Board • Membership: one representative from each institution coordinating a main activity; the University of Trento will chair the Board. • Function: To enact activities, coordinate and supervise each partner in the executions of activities
1.1.1 Master Student Mobility • Students from Asia to Galway & Trento • 12 students x 10 months x 2
1.1.1 Master Student Mobility • Problems and issues: • Misfit between academic years and project span • Selection protocol should be defined • Possible misfit in the formal requirement (recognition of Bachelor, homogeneization of curricula) • Distance teaching is mentioned but it is not clear how it should be used
1.1.2 Definition of Master Curriculum • Define a reference curriculum for a 2-year Master on Semantic Web By December 2006: • Specification of a program • Definition of the minimum to be compatible with “EASTWEB Blueprint” • Teaching and examination material for the key-courses
1.1.2 Definition of Master Curriculum • Assets: Definition of a “Shared Master” on Semantic Web in the framework of KnowledgeWeb (Trento + Amsterdam + Madrid + Bolzano, possibly Innsbruck & Galway?) Experience of Swiss-AIT(VietNam) Master ?
1.1.3 Implementation of Graduate Curriculum Starting from January 2007: • Definition of mobility/DL scheme • Implementation of course recognition criteria
1.1.3 Double Degree Master During third year of project: • Formal pair-wise Double Master degree programs Students will start the double degree programs only after the end of the program!
1.2.1 PhD Student Mobility • To do asap: • plan mobility
1.2.2 Joint PhD training activities Straightforward. Note that: “Co-supervised students will visit the foreign university for at least 6 months and work with the foreign supervisor before graduation. The foreign supervisor will visit the university of the student at least one during the thesis”
1.2.3 Joint PhD program We promised: Common admission criteria Shared selection procedure At the end students will get double degree Output: Several joint PhD programs (2°-3° year) Students will be selected during 3° year
1.3.1 Technical staff By January, 2007 A 7 days course delivered on each site by local teaching staff to train in the use, maintenance and management of the eLearning platform Later update will be given through DL Output: Technicians certification E-Learning modules on evolution-maintainance of e-learning platform and management of KM portal
1.3.1 Technical staff Pbm: How will the teaching staff know how to train the technicians? There is a dependence on the e-learning activity
1.3.2 Senior researcher Expected outcome: Delivery of lectureship, PhD supervision, Seminars Delivery of Educational Material for the DL Documented support to the project networking activities To do asap: plan mobility
1.3.3 Young researcher 1-2 months visits, supervised by senior researcher. Scientific report + evaluation. Production of educational material Production of scientific material (in Knowledge portal)
1.3.3 Young researcher To do asap: plan mobility
2.1.1 Remote Frontal Teaching The LODE system 1-2 courses first year 4-6 courses second year 8-10 courses third year Seminar webcasting Interactive board ?
2.1.2 Remote Cooperation Enable remote interaction Collect and analize usage statistics and methodologies See today’s videoconference
2.1.3 Remote Assessment Enable teachers to perform remote evaluation Find software Define procedures Train teachers
2.1.4 Supporting Environment Keep track of students progress in a distributed environment Use a lightweight information system
2.2.1 Knowledge Map of SW • harvesting, first, internal and than external knowledge in the field of Semantic Web, • identifying knowledge gaps in the field • structuring such knowledge with appropriate knowledge management tools
2.2.2 Content and KM tools development providing appropriate tool to the processes of gathering, querying and navigating knowledge. Tools to be used include: semantic queries, context via ontology, matching of natural language queries into ontological concepts, semantic navigation, guidance via ontology, support to individual views to knowledge and dynamic views to knowledge, visualization of hierarchies, tools to capture users needs and integrates them into application assembly, ontology-based profiling. PRODUCE Integrated platform to support EASTWEB Knowledge Portal
2.2.3 EASTWEB Knowledge Portal EASTWEB Knowledge Portal will contain: • Access to all EASTWEB eLearning material • Updated knowledge map and gap analysis of Semantic Web research and applications • Digital periodical reports, results, and reviews of Semantic Web research and applications.
3.1.1 Summer School We promised participation of 50% of EASTWEB PhD Students and Young Researchers to SSSW. Problem: SSSW is not in our control... Good news: SSSW organizers are our friends A delicate issue!
3.1.2 Launching ASWC Good news! First conference in China http://www.aswc2006.org/
3.1.3 Research events Support student and young researcher mobility (to conferences, workshops) Deliverables: • Workshop proceedings • Presentations, documantation etsc to be included in KM portal • To do: • Allocate financial resources ORGANIZE WORKSHOPS AT ASWC!
3.2.1 Techology Transfer Network OBJECTIVES: Working group with scientific and industrial partners Communication and information toos with management staff Definition and deployment of TechTransferNet Collection of industrial best practices and SW guidelines
3.2.1 Techology Transfer Network Means: Identify key companies in Asia and Europe Deliverables: Establishment of TechTransferNet Collect best practices/evaluation
3.2.2 Industrial exhibitions Organize international forums to discuss and define business cases Products: • Proceedings • Business requirements • Testing and benchmarking SW applications Possible sinergy with ASWC? Possible sinergy with KnowledgeWeb?
Next Meeting At ASWC6 in Beijing, September 3-7 ? Jim Hendler will be there...
