WP9:Dissemination

1
WP9Dissemination

• Strong publication record
• Modest media exposure
• Invited talks to specialist audiences
• Low key Web presence
• Aim to ramp up by end of year 2

2
Publications

• 22 papers (6 journal, 17 conference, 9 workshop)
• Some in the top rank (one at AAMAS, two at IJCAI,
  stop pressWWW07)
• Rejections occurred when we tried to base papers
  on general idea (vision fatigue).
• Strongly technical papers were effective.
• Lots of papers were integrative.

Related Projects Being Proposed

• TRAP (Trust, Rationality and Adversarial
  Planning) Barcelona-Edinburgh
• KCDE (Managing the Scientific Knowledge
  Lifecycle) Barcelona-Trento
• Cancer Research UK involvement
• Autonomous Systems IRC (UK consortium)
• Biomedical projects being drafted in China

5
Web Presence

• Currently www.openk.org is simply holding point
  for public documents (Wiki provides a window on
  current work).
• In coming year will be the route into
• OpenKnowledge kernel
• Interaction models
• Tutorial material
• Test results
• Wiki will also get more use in coming year

6
WP10Management

• Ahead on kernel integration (testbed integration
  next)
• Lower than average costeffort this year
  (expected)
• High proportion of inter-site research
• Already substantial assets to manage
• Maturing is the big challenge for next year

7
Inter-site Integration

• Kernel programmers group (all sites)
• LCC tutorial
• Bi-lateral visits
• Co-authored papers in WPs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
• Skype Sessions
• Wiki

External Advisors

• Jim Hendler
• Ricardo Baeza-Yates (Director Yahoo non-US
  research labs)
• Juan Pablo Albar (director of ProteoRed)
• Alistair Duke (BT)

Distribution of Cost and Effort

• Overall, ¼ budget and ¼ effort used (similar
  across sites).
• Across workpackages
• WP1 Interaction modelling Less than expected
  (allocate to kernel).
• WP2 Semantic routing Pro rata to time.
• WP3 Dynamic ontology mapping Higher spend but
  foundational for WP4.
• WP4 Semantic quality of service Effort borrowed
  from here for kernel.
• WP5 Markup and multimediaClever solution saved
  time, but markup work ahead.
• WP6 Testbeds Right proportion but potential sink
  of effort.
• WP7 Empirical studies Much work done off-budget.
• WP8 User-centred applications Pro rata to time.
• WP9 Dissemination Starts now.

Milestones

• M1.1 Interaction protocol running on examples
  from WP6 (month 12) Reached for bio, soon for
  e-response
• M1.2 Paper on interaction language and
  architecture (month 18) Reached
• M2.1 Example, using simulator, of semantic
  routing applied to bioinformatics scenarios of
  D6.1 (month 12) Will reach by month 18
• M3.1 Example of ontology mapping applied to
  testbed scenarios of WP6 (month 12) Reached
  partially (but will develop further)
• M4.1 Example of semantic quality of service
  components applied to the two testbeds in WP6
  (month 12) Will reach by month 18
• M6.1 Repository of twenty significantly
  complex, representative, bioinformatics scenarios
  in sub-domains of the testbed areas (month 6)
  Reached
