Abstract

The Ubiquitous Autonomic Computing and Network (uAuto) project is one of the 21st century frontier R&D programs supported by the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) in Korea. Developing the Self Growing Engine is one of the sub-projects of the uAuto project. In this project, we are planning to develop an intelligent framework for community computing in which all the members, for instance people, devices, and software agents, work together to efficiently achieve the goals of the community. For this purpose, we will propose a community computing model which can support theoretical issues in community computing, and also develop a community middleware which can support community operations (e.g., creating/deleting communities). In addition, we will develop fundamental intelligent utilities, knowledge representation and reasoning systems and learning modules for community computing.
