This is a small note that summarize the first workshop of AI beyond efficiency that we did in Valencia in the past spring. It was a really fun and formative experience where we had the possibility to interact with many colleagues across Europe. We can clearly declare the workshop successful as we had to cap…
In this article I will try to give an introduction to what is a knowledge graph and what is its relationship with artificial intelligence. In a nutshell, we can see this relationship as bi-directional. On the one hand knowledge graphs are ways to represent information and can be used as data for machine learning models.…

Improving the performance of XML based technologies by caching and reusing information. Is it possible? Abstract: The growing synergy between Web Services and Grid or cloud based technologies is enabling profound, dynamic interactions between applications dispersed in geographic, institutional, and conceptual space. Such deep interoperability requires the simplicity, robustness, and extensibility for which XML has…
Is it possible to achieve a Client Side Estimation of a Remote Service Execution? Abstract: Many use cases, concerning the monitoring and controlling of real physical instruments, demand deep interaction between users and services that virtualize the access to such instruments/devices. In addition, in order to realize high interoperable solutions, SOA-based Web/Grid Service technologies must…
