The Ontology for State Machines

This project was partially supported by IST project ELENA.

Project Goal

The goal of the project is to make and research OWL ontology for state machines in the context of navigation and interaction modelling for web-based and hypermedia systems. The open problems to be researched:

• How to model state machines using OWL?
• Will the OWL ontology for state machines contribute to a problem of computation units reuse on the semantic web?
• How OWL ontology for state machines will contribute to web services research?
• Is it possible to realize an engine which will be able to compute state machines descried in OWL?
• What methodology applies to design advanced applications with the OWL state machines?

Project Members:

• Peter Dolog - main investigator.

Results:

• ontology for finite state machines,
