We present our vision for a departure from the established way of architecting and assessing communication networks, by incorporating the semantics of information, defined not necessarily as the meaning of the messages, but as their significance, possibly within a real-time constraint, relative to the purpose of the data exchange. We argue that research efforts must focus on laying the theoretical foundations of a redesign of the entire process of information generation, transmission, and usage for networked systems in unison by developing advanced semantic metrics for communications and control systems; an optimal sampling theory combining signal sparsity and timeliness, for real-time prediction/reconstruction/control under communication constraints and delays; temporally effective compressed sensing techniques for decision making and inference directly in the compressed domain; and semantic-aware data generation, channel coding, packetization, feedback, and multiple and random access schemes that reduce the volume of data and the energy consumption, increasing the number of supportable devices. This paradigm shift targets jointly optimal information gathering, information dissemination, and decision making policies in networked systems.

Semantic data modeling of spatiotemporal database applications Yazıcı, Adnan; Sun, N (Wiley, 2001-07-01) Due to the ubiquity of space-related and time-related information, the ability of a database system to deal with both spatial and temporal phenomenon facts in a spatiotemporal applications is highly desired. However, uncertain and fuzzy information in these applications highly increases the complexity of database modeling. In this paper we introduce a semantic data modeling approach for spatiotemporal database applications. We specifically focus on various aspects of spatial and temporal database issues and...
Semantic dimensionality reduction during language acquisition: A window into concept representation Özcan, Rojda; Bozşahin, Hüseyin Cem; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2022-8-31) We explore the dimensionality in the semantic representations derived from the Eve fragment of the CHILDES database to gain insights into whether or not semantic dimensionality reduc- tion (DR) occurs during language acquisition, and if so to gain insights into how this reduction of dimensions could look like. We start exploring these representations that are in the form of lambda terms (LTs) by trying to find different representations for them which would be more suitable for the use of DR techniques on th...
Prioritization of interdependent uncertainties in projects Qazi, Abroon; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (2020-08-01) Purpose The purpose of this paper is to address the limitations of conventional risk matrix based tools such that both positive and negative connotation of uncertainty could be captured within a unified framework that is capable of modeling the direction and strength of causal relationships across uncertainties and prioritizing project uncertainties as both threats and opportunities. Design/methodology/approach Theoretically grounded in the frameworks of Bayesian belief networks (BBNs) and interpretive stru...
Data interoperability through federated semantic metadata registries Sınacı, Ali Anıl; Çiçekli, Fehime Nihan; Doğaç, Asuman; Department of Computer Engineering (2014) In this study, a unified methodology together with the supporting framework for the problem of data interoperability is introduced which brings together the power of metadata registries and semantic web technologies. A federated architecture of semantic metadata registries which are purely based on ISO/IEC 11179 standard leads to the Linked Open Data integration of data element repositories where each element can be uniquely identified, referenced and processed to enable the syntactic and semantic interoper...
Cooperative Communications in Future Home Networks Genc, Zulkuf; Rizvi, Umar H.; Onur, Ertan; Niemegeers, Ignas (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2010-05-01) The basic idea behind cooperative communications is that mobile terminals collaborate to send data to each other. This effectively adds diversity in the system and improves the overall performance. In this paper, we investigate the potential gains of cooperative communication in future home networks. We derive analytical expressions for the error probability of binary phase shift keying (BPSK) signals over Nakagami-m fading channels in a multi relay communication network. Following to the analytical study, ...
