Additional information
<07> This paper proposes a fundamental re-think of interoperability in complex distributed systems, featuring two key ideas: emergent middleware, i.e. middleware that can be synthesized at run-time, and the supporting role of ontologies to add conceptual reasoning capabilities in this dynamic synthesis. Middleware has an acceptance rate of 19%, and this was accepted as a big ideas paper, only the second such paper to be selected in three years. Prof. Blair has given 3 keynote talks on this subject as a measure of the interest in this concept.
