Major EU-Funded Semantic Grid Computing Project Adopts InforSense(R) Integrative Analytics Technology.* InforSense to Provide Integrative Analytics Environment to Support Collaborative Decision Making * Development of Service-Oriented Platform to Support E-Business Applications LONDON & CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- InforSense Ltd., the leading provider of enterprise real-time analytics, today announced that the company has been selected as a technology partner in the [euro]2M European Union European Union (EU), name given since the ratification (Nov., 1993) of the Treaty of European Union, or Maastricht Treaty, to the European Community (EU) funded ARGUGRID project. The project is a collaborative effort between eight partners from five countries and is funded by the IST Grid technologies program. The goal of ARGUGRID is to develop the next generation service-oriented computing platform for scientific and business applications. Based on semantic web and agent-based technologies, the project is developing novel techniques for supporting dynamic service selection, composition and optimization by applying advanced logical reasoning over service semantics. The development of such technology is key to the success of large-scale B2B (Business to Business) Refers to one business communicating with or selling to another. See B2B e-commerce, B2C and B2G. B2B - business to business collaborations within a service-oriented computing framework. "InforSense is pleased to receive support from the EU and their recognition of our technical excellence," said Prof. Yike Guo, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of InforSense. "InforSense is committed to advanced computation research, and we believe that the combination of semantic web technology, agent computing and logical reasoning is key to evolving our industry-leading workflow technology for service composition in complex business applications." "We believe InforSense workflow technology is the obvious choice to meet the needs and expectations of the EU in service-oriented computing," said Dr. Francesca Toni, ARGUGRID Project Coordinator. "The proven flexibility inherent in InforSense KDE (K Desktop Environment) A GUI-based user interface primarily for Unix and Linux machines, but also available for Windows and Mac. The source code is freely distributed and is maintained by developers around the world. workflow technology, coupled with the ability for users to communicate in a highly secure environment is essential to the success of this project." InforSense KDE, the industry's leading workflow technology, will provide the central mechanism for computing services composition. Enhanced by logical reasoning technology, which will be developed in the project, the InforSense workflow engine will support a new paradigm New Paradigm In the investing world, a totally new way of doing things that has a huge effect on business. Notes: The word "paradigm" is defined as a pattern or model, and it has been used in science to refer to a theoretical framework. for autonomic, or self-managing, service composition. In addition, InforSense will integrate new technology developed from the project into its upcoming product releases. About ARGUGRID ARGUGRID is a semantic grid computing consortium funded under the Information Society Technologies (IST) priority of the European Commission Sixth Framework Programme The Sixth Framework Programme (abbreviated FP6) was the Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development from 2002 till 2006 set up by the European Union (EU) in order to fund and promote European research and technological development. . The collaboration is between eight technology and applications partners in five countries. ARGUGRID's goal is to provide a new model for programming the Grid at a semantic, knowledge-based level of abstraction The level of complexity by which a system is viewed. The higher the level, the less detail. The lower the level, the more detail. The highest level of abstraction is the single system itself. through the use of argumentative Controversial; subject to argument. Pleading in which a point relied upon is not set out, but merely implied, is often labeled argumentative. Pleading that contains arguments that should be saved for trial, in addition to allegations establishing a Cause of Action or agent technology. Agents are associated with service/resource requestors and service/resource providers within a service-oriented architecture. Argumentation technology is used to support rational decision making, internal to agents, as well as negotiation, amongst agents, all required to facilitate the dynamic composition of services/resources into executable workflows. Argumentation is also used to support the creation, management and dynamic evolution of virtual organisations, understood as societies of agents, to compose individual services into more complex ones.

About InforSense KDE Using InforSense KDE, enterprises rapidly integrate and deliver virtually any data source, analytic software tool, service or application within a single informatics framework. Users link these components via visual workflows to dynamically answer any question using their data, however complex or transient. Organizations can also mine their analytical processes to discover and deploy expertise and best practices. InforSense KDE provides an open, extensible service-oriented architecture, built using industry standards including J2EE (Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition) A platform from Sun for building distributed enterprise applications. J2EE services are performed in the middle tier between the user's machine and the enterprise's databases and legacy information systems. , XML XML in full Extensible Markup Language. Markup language developed to be a simplified and more structural version of SGML. It incorporates features of HTML (e.g., hypertext linking), but is designed to overcome some of HTML's limitations. , and WSDL (Web Services Description Language) An XML-based language for defining Web services. Developed by Microsoft and IBM, WSDL describes the protocols and formats used by the service. .
