A platform PRINTEPS to develop practical intelligent applications

Robots should change the actions based on surrounding situation. To realize this, robots need to change signals to symbols and symbols to signals each other. We propose an intelligent application development platform which is based on SOA(Service Oriented Architecture) and SWS(Semantic Web Service). Our platform has five layers; Service, Process, Module, Knowledge and Data. Service, Process and Module are implemented by using OWL-S(OWL-based Web Service Ontology). In the Module layer, there are two kinds of modules; modules for action and modules for recognition. By combining these modules, this architecture can take care of symbols and signals.
