Decentralized Semantic Coordination Through Belief
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper proposes a generic decentralized method for interconnected entities to compute globally coherent sets of mappings with respect to the semantics of ontological specifications and their subjective mapping preferences. This problem is formed as an optimization problem between interdependent agents. Globally coherent sets of mappings are computed by means of a distributed extension of the maxplus algorithm, taking also into account the feedback entities receive on their subjective mappings from distant others. Experimental results from a large number of networks of varying complexity show the strengths of the proposed approach and point to further work.

Decentralized Semantic Coordination Via Belief Propagation
This paper proposes a decentralized method for communities of agents to reach semantic agreements on subjective ontology elements’ correspondences / mappings, via belief propagation. Agents detect disagreements on mapping decisions via feedback they receive from others, and they revise their decisions on correspondences with respect to their mapping preferences and the semantics of ontological ...
متن کاملCoordination of Information Sharing and Cooperative Advertising in a Decentralized Supply Chain with Competing Retailers Considering Free Riding Behavior
This paper studies a decentralized supply chain in which a manufacturer sells a common generic product through two traditional and online retailers under free riding market. We assume that the traditional retailer provides the value added services but the online retailer does not. Factors such as retail prices, local advertising of the retailers, global advertising of the manufacturer and servi...
متن کاملCoordinating a decentralized supply chain with a stochastic demand using quantity flexibility contract: a game-theoretic approach
Supply chain includes two or more parties linked by flow of goods, information, and funds. In a decentralized system, supply chain members make decision regardless of their decision's effects on the performance of the other members and the entire supply chain. This is the key issue in supply chain management, that the mechanism should be developed in which different objectives should be align...
متن کاملCoordination of R&D Effort, Pricing, and Periodic Review Replenishment Decisions in a Green Supply Chain through a Delay in Payment Contract
This study contributes to the literature on supply chain coordination by coordinating the research and development (R&D) effort, retail price, and inventory decisions. It investigates a real case in the home appliance industry. The main purpose of this study is to examine the optimal values of R&D effort, pricing, and inventory decisions under decentralized and centralized structures. Then, a d...
متن کاملInternational Workshop on Emergent Semantics and Ontology Evolution
Until recently, most data interoperability techniques involved central components, e.g., global schemas or ontologies, to overcome semantic heterogeneity for enabling transparent access to heterogeneous data sources. Today, however, with the democratization of tools facilitating knowledge elicitation in machineprocessable formats, one cannot rely on global, centralized schemas anymore as knowle...
