IMP Programme WISE

Introduction The project goal is to provide an environment

and framework for students to get practical experience on real-life service development, going from the business idea of a new service through its design and implementation to actual launching the service in the Web. Development includes internal service audit, intra-group cross-validation and testing of the results during the whole lifecycle of the service development.

The projects is designed for IMP WISE students, 2nd year of studies

Preconditions to join the project

Prerequisites are sufficient knowledge on theories and applications of:

• Semantic Web and Ontology Engineering• Agent Technologies• Cloud Computing• Big Data Engineering

Team Building

Mode of studies: Team work International teams 4 members in each team Joint report + demo + presentation Joint project defense Variety of skills – see bellow

Skills required for:

Leadership – coordination Delegation ! ’Paper work’ – keeping record, writing

report Negotiations - communications Presentations Creative design / visualization Development/implementation

Roles in the team – with respect to management and technologies:

Team leader Negotiator Speaker Archivarius

Domain expert Platform developer Application

developer Interface developer

Process stages: To analyze own strength, weaknesses

and preferences - IW To build the teams aiming for each and

everyone to shine - TW To distribute the management roles -

TW To chose the domain and service - TW To distribute the technological roles -

TW Defense of the service idea - SW

Forms of work: IW – individual work TW – team work (fixed time & space) SW – supervised work (fixed time &

space):- lectures,- public defenses,- seminars,- presentations,- consulting

Process stages (continue):

To design the service ( by skeleton) - TW

To defend own design if needed ? - SW Start to develop platform, application

and interfaces – IW & TW Technology Consulting * – SW Service development - TW To negotiate Master Thesis topic – I&S

W Final service defense * - SW

* interpretation:

By topic – with certain expert By technological role – with certain

team member By organizational role – with certain

team member By team – each claim own input NB! – experts will only provide ’new’

knowledge

Requirements for the Service

The final system should:

Be a Semantic web service Expose an API Be deployed in the cloud Have some sort of pro-activeness (Push service) Have BI kind of analytics Consume multiple sources of information (services

integration | aggregation) Have a human interface (as alternative) Include some form of user preferences

It will be good idea to involve a reasoning (depending on the business case) – further research ?
