The second PSMP workshop is a continuation of the first PSMP1 workshop that took place in Las Vegas within the 2003 International Multiconference in Computer Science & Engineering.

WORKSHOP FOCUS

The PSMP2 workshop will focus on knowledge presentation, sharing, mining and protection in cyber communities. Nodes which include servers, users, or most generally, any agents make up these interconnected communities. Communication between these nodes involves coordinating languages and protocols. The goal of a community is to build knowledge, provide and protect this knowledge. The architecture of communication between nodes and enclaves is specific for a given application. In the PSMP 2 Workshop, we would like to pay a particular attention to reasoning in the communication and dialog processes. The power of human reasoning is based on generalization as the most powerful operation. Artificial Intelligence systems can be improved in their generalization capabilities. Contributions regarding this topic are especially solicited as well as those dealing with integrating these approaches into applications. EASEL language applications that directly implement reasoning using property-based types are particularly welcome.

  5. M.Obitko, V.Snasel: Ontology Repository in Multi-Agent System
  6. M.Obitko, J.Smid, V.Snasel: Using Easel Types for Document Management and Retrieval
  7. D.Fisher: Reasoning With Property-Based Types
  8. J. Harrison: Using Easel to Depict Network Defense and Attacks
  9. K. Pala, P.Smrz: Ontologies, Types and Verb Frames

Discussion

A few people show up. Here are some pictures We had a pretty healthy disagreement on the following and other topics:)
  1. Is the knowledge acquisition the most important topic?
  2. Is the communication in networks the most important topic?
  3. Semantics for networks (Internet) should be machine or human readable?
  4. Protocols vs Natural Language like Dialogs in the network environment.
  5. Do we need semantics for dialogs?
  6. Do we need simple semantics or more complicated Transparent Intentional logic and semantics.
  7. Are Property Based Types(PBT) of EASEL different from flexible classes?
  8. Do conceptual lattices provide needed logic for PBT?
  9. How much of grammar is needed for dialogs?
  10. What ontology is needed for information retrieval?
  11. Do we need flexible classes (PBT)?
  12. How much reasoning is needed for IR?
  13. Complexity of EASEL vs JAVA for modeling from the user point of view.
  14. What should be the topics for the PSMP3, Las Vegas, June 23-26, 2004
