Soft Computing in Ontologies and Semantic Web

to be published by Springer-Verlag
in the series Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing


Introduction

Soft computing technologies have been extensively used for intelligent
data processing and intelligent systems and soft
computing hereby becomes a crucial means of implementing intelligence.
Meanwhile Semantic Web has emerged as the next
generation web. The vision of the Semantic Web is to make the contents
of the Web computer interpretable, enabling
automation of a diversity of tasks currently performed by human beings.
In the real world, however, human knowledge and
natural language have a big deal of imprecision and vagueness. The
research and development of soft computing in ontologies
and Semantic Web are receiving increasing attention.
The proposed book will cover a fast-growing topic in great depth and
focuses on the technologies and applications of soft
computing technologies (e.g., fuzzy logic, genetic algorithms, neural
networks, rough sets, Bayesian networks, and other
probabilistic techniques) in ontologies and Semantic Web. Collecting
and presenting recent advances on soft computing
approaches to ontologies and Semantic Web, this book will serve as a
useful guide for researchers, practitioners, and
graduate students in theory research, design implementation, and
application development of Web intelligence.
