semantic computing
presents the state of the technology and points to future directions for semantic computing p semantic computing a rapidly evolving interdisciplinary field seeks to structure design and manipulate computer content to better satisfy the needs and intentions of users and create a more meaningful user experience . this remarkable contributed work examines the art engineering technology and applications of the field . moreover it brings together researchers from such disciplines as natural language processing software engineering multimedia semantics semantic web signal processing and pattern recognition in order to provide a single source that presents the state of the technology and points to new breakthroughs on the horizon . p semantic computing begins with an introduction that explores the concepts technology applications and future of semantic computing . next the book is divided into four parts p part one semantic analysis p part two semantic languages and integration p part three semantic applications p part four semantic programming and interface p as readers progress through the book theyll learn not only the underlying science but also the fundamental technological building blocks of semantic computing . moreover theyll discover a variety of cross disciplinary solutions to current computing and communication problems . throughout the book references to the primary literature enable further investigation of each individual topic . p semantic computing is ideal for industrial managers researchers and engineers seeking to design the next generation of computing systems in order to better meet user needs . it is also recommended as a textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate level semantic computing courses .
