The web intelligence project allows us to discuss and exchange views
with our colleagues through Rhône-Alpes which have similar
preoccupation. In particular, we developed communication with the
group of Jean-Marc Petit at LIRIS, Lyon, the Hadas group in LIG,
Grenoble. We recently worked on ontology pattern with colleagues at
LIRIS.

We have organised several working days for presenting and

The central issue to be resolved concerns the relationship between

heart of the design of systems that are targeted for him or her.
Yves.Demazeau@imag.fr
Phone : +33 (0)4 76 51 46 43
Instead, the user is seen just as a consumer of available products
that may be, to a greater or lesser extent, customizable. This
naturally results in problems of trust, and leads to security and legal
Permanent Membres : problems from using agents. We support the idea of a future where
real and virtual worlds interpenetrate and melt into one. The

consequences range from the fusion of virtual reality and real

Julie DUGDALE (MCF UPMF) from the disappearance of interactional interfaces towards a dynamic

tools destined for the creation and revival of interactive and real time
applications. It should be possible for the user to be the designer of a
6 PhD Students MAS application, interacting with his environment. We believe that
systems should not simply be usable, which was the concern twenty
years ago, or useful, which was the concern of the last ten years.
Instead we believe these systems should actually be used, and used
on a large scale.

properties may be exploited in order to derive composite services which themselves
exhibit certain transactional properties.
- Compatibility of service interactions: interactions between two applications

to service interfaces. The issues we are interested in are those that arise when interactions
between two services (a client and a provider) fail because their interfaces are

name to the group. Ontologies have since become a major research

The design of Information Systems is guided by an ontological

application domain in a direct way, close to his/her way of thinking.
Ana SIMONET (MCF UPMF)
This is opposed to the current approach in object models which
Michel SIMONET (CR CNRS)
Patrick PALMER (MCF UPMF)
imposes prior and implicit choices of representation.
Integration of existing systems implies first to perform reverse
engineering of databases, which generally evolve in an uncontrolled
and unspecified manner, without guaranteeing their global
3 PhD Students
consistency. Ontologies are at the very heart of this process, as a
support to restore a high-level view from a present situation which
has deteriorated conceptually over the years.
Finally, an Osiris knowledge base is a direct implementation of an
ontology for decision aid purposes.

enrichment of an ontology of the cardiovascular domain in five
languages.

A PhD thesis on a multilingual concept-based terminology of the
ordinary language of lay people was also presented in the course of

electronic resources such as documents or web pages by using their
mother tongue and with everyday words, e.g., bruise for haematoma

In this subproject, the ERIC members are more specifically keen on
the issue of graphs. Indeed, in the context of social web, and more
particularly social networks, recent works have pointed out the
interest of representing such Web data with graphs. It is the case of
forums, chats, etc. which are an increasingly wide on the Web. The
aim is then to focus on various aspects such as the dynamic
(evolution), the multiple points of view etc. We will deal these points
both with respect to visualization and knowledge extraction
techniques.

Privacy Preserving Multi-Agent Systems

In cooperation with the LIG (Grenoble) we work also on complex
systems using the multi-agent paradigm.
In this framework, we develop the concept of "Hippocratic multi-agent
systems", the aim of which is to take into account mechanisms of
privacy management in such systems.

considering the problem of dynamic composition and adaptation of
Web services. The main challenge is to propose and empower users
with goal-directed orchestration and composition reasoning agents
accessing services proposed on the Web.

WP2 subproject Web and Trust: In this subproject we are interested
in the development of models of trust/reputation and normative
systems in the context of privacy preserving within applications
deployed on the Web. The challenge is to propose and provide the
user with a platform where his/her privacy is preserved while sharing
personal data and expecting an increased tailored interaction with the
system.

The group is co-leading the Web Intelligence Project, the WP2
subproject Web and Trust and WP3 related to Education/curriculum

Tél : +33 (0)4 75 75 94 49 These systems are collections of open software entities dynamically
interacting by exchanging knowledge and services.

Our contribution is situated in the "Web and Services" and "Web and
Context" themes. We apply our approach to Web services dynamic
composition. Up to now web services composition remain too static
to face the Internet dynamicity. It would be profitable to adapt the
composition in function of execution events taking into account user
preferences.

We propose to employ recursive multiagent systems able to make
the integration of both semantic properties (traducing user
preferences) and a dynamic execution adaptation.
