Steve,
It is upto the committee..
However I think he may be able to contribute to any questions on your sub themes
- Cloud (massively parallel) computing (2K6Y)
- Traditional engineering applications (civil, mechanical, aerospace…) (2K6Z)
- Software engineering, knowledge engineering, systems engineering (2K70)
- Enterprise and system
architecture (2K71)
- Government applications
I like to do a presentation on Ontology usage in Enterprise and System Architecture,
Regards,
Pavithra

Pavithra, Let me discuss this with the Organizing Committee. One reservation I have is that such a presentation is pulling us away from the goal of the Summit, which is to bring to light strong examples of the use of ontology in commercial applications. The discussion of the last day has been very stimulating, but much of it belongs on the Ontolog-forum list rather than the Ontology-summit list. The field of ontology is large, but I am trying to keep the Summit focused. Steven R.

Can we Invite Ed Yourdon to do presentation on traditional design concepts like OO? Can I ask him?
One of the issues that come up all the time is about modeling tools vs implementation/ specification languages.. Sometimes people seem to get confused..
For Object Oriented, - Object Oriented Analysis and design are the concepts, Rational Rose is one of the modeling tools and UML is the specification language.. C++ Java etc are languages that support Object Oriented programming ..
For Ontology, we need to establish such things, and explore the overlapping areas?

I was relieved to see your message, Todd. My strong sense is that we are not yet to the point where the general commercial user accepts the use of ontologies of any kind. Therefore, we need to get past that basic hurdle before we start trying to make the case for a more sophisticated treatment. We need strong examples, quantified in concrete terms.
(Just my opinion, of course)

Nicola,
While I agree with your premise and its value (and promote
this aspect), there is still great reluctance to make use
of semantic technologies in general and ontologies and
their development paradigms in particular.
So, as part of making the business case for the use of
semantic technologies and ontologies I suggest starting
with the general business case of why to use ontologies,
focusing on data models (something familiar and the cause
of many systems and
software problems), how ontologies
and semantic technologies can greatly aid in these areas,
then bring out the specific capabilities that provide
such aid (e.g., ontological analysis), then how these
capabilities are already used (to some extent) in
current practices (i.e., why there shouldn't be great
trepidation in their use).
Thoughts?
Todd

Dear colleagues,
I also agree very much with John and Matthew concerning
the importance
of high quality ontologies, and on their observation that
the quest for high quality data models in software engineering definitely
reflects a sensitivity to important ontological aspects much higher than
what we find in people just focusing on ontology languages.
In the light of this, I suggest to specify a bit more the
overall theme of our Summit, which in my opinion could be "Making the case
for ontological analysis" instead of "Making the case for ontology". An
alternative could be "Making the case for high-quality ontologies".
The reason for this proposal should be self-evident, I
believe. Deciding how much effort to put in developing a particular
ontology is a crucial choice, and it is very important to distinguish the
cases where a proper ontological analysis pays
off, and is indeed a
crucial aspect of success, from those where a "lightweight" approach is
sufficient.
Just brainstorming...
Talk to you soon,
Nicola
