    • Ontology-based semantics for composable autonomic elements 

      KEENEY, JOHN; LEWIS, DAVID; O'SULLIVAN, DECLAN; WADE, VINCENT PATRICK (2005)
      The complexity of modern communication networks requires an autonomic approach, where elements exhibit a degree of self-management which when combined provide a level of self-management for the network as a whole. The ...
    • Policy-based Integration of Multi-Provider Digital Home Services 

      BRENNAN, ROB; KEENEY, JOHN; FEENEY, KEVIN CHEKOV; LEWIS, DAVID; O'SULLIVAN, DECLAN; ETZIONI, ZOHAR (2009)
      The digital home is both the nexus of a new wave of user-centric service integration and the front line of competition between device vendors, connectivity providers, and added-value service providers. Vertical integration ...
    • Policy-based management for resource-specific semantic service 

      KEENEY, JOHN; LEWIS, DAVID; O'SULLIVAN, DECLAN (IEEE, 2006)
      Semantic Web Services are the subject of intense scrutiny as they promise to address problems of dynamically discovering, selecting, composing and interoperating web services for e-commerce. However, there has been ...
    • Policy-based Management of Semantic Clustering 

      KEENEY, JOHN; LEWIS, DAVID; O'SULLIVAN, DECLAN; JONES, DOMINIC HUGH (2008)
      We introduce the concept of a Knowledge-based Network KBN [1] as an extended Content-based Network (CBN), where semantically rich messages co-exist with the more traditional CBN messages format. One of the main advantages ...
    • A proactive approach to semantically oriented service discovery 

      KEENEY, JOHN; LEWIS, DAVID; O'SULLIVAN, DECLAN (2006)
      This paper proposes a proactive approach to web service discovery which contrasts the passive approach exhibited by UDDI. The paper describes how a content based network implementation (Siena) has been extended to ...
    • Runtime semantic interoperability for gathering ontology-based network context 

      KEENEY, JOHN; LEWIS, DAVID; O'SULLIVAN, DECLAN (IEEE, 2006)
      The trends for pushing more operational intelligence towards network elements to achieve more context-aware and self-managing behavior often requires elements to gather network knowledge without necessarily binding ...
    • Semantic interoperability for an autonomic knowledge delivery service 

      KEENEY, JOHN; LEWIS, DAVID; O'SULLIVAN, DECLAN; POWER, RUAIDHRI SEAN (Springer, 2005)
      The development and deployment of interconnected networks is being increasingly limited by their complexity and the concomitant cost of managing the operational network. Autonomic Communication aims to reduce this cost, by ...
    • A Semantic Monitoring and Management Framework for End-to-end Services 

      KEENEY, JOHN; CONLAN, OWEN (IEEE, 2011)
      Modern distributed applications and communication services have become increasingly complex, composed of diverse heterogeneous sub-systems, and it is progressively more unrealistic that the users of these systems will ...
    • Supporting Composite Smart Home Services with Semantic Fault Management 

      KEENEY, JOHN; BRENNAN, ROB; LEWIS, DAVID; ETZIONI, ZOHAR (2010)
      The proliferation of smart home technologies providing home users with digital services presents an interoperability problem. This paper asserts that the value of these services can be greatly extended by enabling ...
    • Supporting Composite Smart Home Services with Semantic Fault Management 

      BRENNAN, ROB; KEENEY, JOHN; LEWIS, DAVID; ETZIONI, ZOHAR (2010)
      The proliferation of smart home technologies providing home users with digital services presents an interoperability problem. This paper asserts that the value of these services can be greatly extended by enabling te ...
    • Techniques for Dynamic Adaptation of Mobile Services 

      CAHILL, VINNY; HAAHR, MADS; KEENEY, JOHN (Auerbach Publications, 2006)
      This chapter discusses the dynamic adaptation of software for mobile computing. The primary focus of the chapter is to discuss a number of techniques for adapting software as it runs, and managing the application of those ...
    • Towards Non-expert Users Monitoring Networks and Services through Semantically Enhanced Visualizations 

      HAMPSON, CORMAC; KEENEY, JOHN; CONLAN, OWEN (2010)
      Managing networks and services in large virtual enterprises often requires significant expertise to decipher and reconcile information coming from several heterogeneous sources. This presents a significant challenge as ...
    • Towards Policy Decomposition for Autonomic Systems Governance by Applying Biologically Inspired Techniques 

      KEENEY, JOHN; WADE, VINCENT PATRICK (IEEE, 2008)
      Policy-based management systems use declarative rules to govern their operation whilst satisfying the goals of the system. One of the fundamental issues in policy engineering remains the inability to automatically ...
    • Towards the use of Policy Decomposition for Composite Service Management by Non-expert End-users 

      KEENEY, JOHN; LEWIS, DAVID; WADE, VINCENT PATRICK (2010)
      With the advent of Web 2.0, as web service composition gets easier, there is a trend towards nonexpert users not just consuming information and services, but also providing, aggregating, composing and eventually managing ...
    • Towards the Visualisation of Collaborative Policy Decomposition 

      CONLAN, OWEN; KEENEY, JOHN; LEWIS, DAVID; O'SULLIVAN, DECLAN; WADE, VINCENT PATRICK (IEEE, 2008)
      Policy-based management is typically used to manage large and complex systems, e.g. the management of telecommunications networks. When collaborating multi-disciplinary managers try to create policies from their own viewpoint ...
    • Web Service Integration for Next Generation Localisation 

      KEENEY, JOHN; FEENEY, KEVIN CHEKOV; LEWIS, DAVID; ETZIONI, ZOHAR (2009)
      Developments in Natural Language Processing technologies promise a variety of benefits to the localization industry, both in its current form in performing bulk enterprise-based localization and in the future in ...
