New continuous group transforms, together with their discretization over a lattice of any density and admissible symmetry, are defined for a general compact simple Lie groups of rank 2 ≤ n < ∞. Rank 1 transforms are known. Rank 2 exposition of Cand S-transforms is in the literature. The E-transforms appear here for the first time.

The discovery of mirror neurons in the macaque monkey has ignited intense interest in motor theories of cognition, including speech and language. Here we examine two such claims, that the perception of speech sounds critically depends on motor representations of speech gestures (the motor theory of speech perception) and that the representation of action-related semantic knowledge critically de...

Up to now, there is no established methodology for the design of a geospatial service-oriented architecture (SOA), e.g., for environmental risk management applications. However, there are key design guidelines and constraints imposed by corresponding standards of ISO and the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). Standards exist on both the abstract (i.e. platform-neutral) and the concrete (i.e. pla...

We present a logic based approach to web services discovery and matchmaking in an e-commerce scenario. In particular, we describe our framework, based on Description Logics formalization and reasoning, and its deployment in a prototype, which overcomes simple subsumption matching of services descriptions and allows match ranking and services classification. We also present results of first expe...

Semantic service descriptions are frequently given using expressive ontology languages based on description languages. The expressiveness of these languages, however, often implies problems for efficient service discovery, especially when increasing numbers of services become available in large organizations and on the Web. To remedy this problem, we propose an efficient service discovery/retri...
