Title : Overview and Status of the W3C Provenance Recommendations
| Presenter | Paul Groth |
| Abstract | Provenance refers to the origins of digital data. Technically, provenance is described by the entities and activities involved in producing and delivering or otherwise influencing a given object. The W3C Provenance Working Group's mission is to support the widespread publication and use of provenance information of Web documents, data, and resources. It is charted to develop recommendations for the interchange of provenance information on the Web. In this talk, I give an overview of the PROV specifications being developed by the working group and how they can be used to represent provenance information. In addition, I will provide a status update of our progress towards a final standard recommendation as well as forthcoming implementations. |
Title : ICONIP'12 test talk
| Presenter | Robbert-Jan Merk |
| Abstract | I will give a talk on a paper that will be presented at ICONIP'12, which describes a cognitive model of situation awareness. Abstract: Computational models of situation awareness can be of interest for different purposes, varying from the study of human cognition in demanding circumstances to the development of human-like virtual opponents in serious gaming applications. This paper presents a novel model of situation awareness, which extends previous work at a number of points. In particular, the model incorporates qualitative time references, offers the possibility to use Allen [1]’s temporal relations, and features an explicit representation of Endsley [4]’s three phases of situation awareness. The behaviour of the model has been tested within a simulation environment for F-16 pilots, and the resulting behaviour has been found satisfactory using a formal verification tool. |
