Context Gathering in Meetings: Business Processes Meet the Agents and the Semantic Web

Abstract

Semantic Web, Space Based Computing and agent technologies provide for a more sophisticated and personalised context gathering and information sharing experience. Environments which benefit from these properties are often found in direct social situations such as meetings. In the business world such meetings are often artificially structured according to a process which does not necessarily fit the physical (and virtual) environment in which a meeting takes place. By providing simple ontologies to structure information, agents and space-based information sharing environment with reasoning capabilities we can provide for a much richer social interaction environment.
