Research into, and deployment of, Semantic Web technology continues to be an
important part of the intelligent systems scene. This special issue explores
the range of tools and techniques in current Semantic Web efforts.
Also in this issue: AI's 10 to Watch, Brain-Computer Interfaces,
Essay Graders, Cognitive Brain Imaging, Collaborative Semantic Authoring, and
more
Issue Highlights
The following articles are available without an electronic subscription:
A Letter from the Editor
A New Portrait of the Semantic Web in Action (pdf) James Hendler
This special issue, rather than focusing on tools specifically for ontologies,
looks at how they're being used and becoming part of the overall Web
ecology.
The Future of AI
AI's 10 to Watch (pdf) James Hendler, Philipp Cimiano, Dmitri Dolgov, Anat Levin, Peter Mika,
Brian Milch, Louis-Philippe Morency, Boris Motik, Jennifer Neville, Erik B.
Sudderth, and Luis von Ahn
The recipients of the 2008 IEEE Intelligent System's 10 to Watch award discuss
their current research and their visions of AI for the future.
Semantic Web Update
Games with a Purpose for the Semantic Web (pdf) Katharina Siorpaes and Martin Hepp
Weaving the Semantic Web requires that humans contribute their labor and
judgment for extending and updating formal knowledge structures. Hiding such
tasks behind online multiplayer games presents the tasks as fun and
intellectually challenging entertainment.
Trends & Controversies
Brain-Computer Interfacing for Intelligent Systems (pdf) Anton Nijholt, Desney Tan, Gert Pfurtscheller, Clemens Brunner,
José del R. Millán, Brendan Allison, Bernhard Graimann, Florin
Popescu, Benjamin Blankertz, and Klaus-R. Müller
Using cognitive neuroscience and brain-imaging technologies, researchers are
building brain-computer interfaces-communication systems that don't depend on
the brain's normal output pathways of peripheral nerves and muscles.
