Considerable research has recently focused on integrating cyber-physical systems in a social context. However, several challenges remain concerning appropriate methodologies, frameworks and techniques for supporting socio-cyber-physical collaboration. Existing systems do not recognize how cyber-physical resources can be socially connected so that they interact in collaborative decision-making like humans. Furthermore, the lack of semantic representations for heterogeneous cyber-social-collaborative networks limits integration, interoperability and knowledge discovery from their underlying data sources. Semantic Web ontology models can help to overcome this limitation by semantically describing and interconnecting cyber-physical objects and human participants in a social space. This research addresses the establishment of both cyber-physical and human relationships and their interactions within a social-collaborative network. We discuss how nonhuman resources can be represented as socially connected nodes and utilized by software agents. A software agent-centric Semantic Social-Collaborative Network (SSCN) is then presented that provides functionality to represent and manage cyber-physical resources in a social network. It is supported by an extended ontology model for semantically describing human and nonhuman resources and their social interactions. A software agent has been implemented to perform some actions on behalf of the nonhuman resources to achieve cyber-physical collaboration. It is demonstrated within a real-world decision support system, GRiST (www.egrist.org), used by mental-health services in the UK.

用于网络物理交互和协作的以软件代理为中心的语义社交网络

最近有相当多的研究集中在将网络物理系统整合到社会环境中。然而,在支持社会-网络-物理协作的适当方法、框架和技术方面仍然存在一些挑战。现有系统无法识别网络物理资源如何进行社会连接,以便它们像人类一样在协作决策中进行交互。此外,异构网络-社会-协作网络缺乏语义表示限制了其底层数据源的集成、互操作性和知识发现。语义 Web 本体模型可以通过语义描述和互连网络物理对象和社会空间中的人类参与者来帮助克服这一限制。这项研究解决了网络物理和人际关系的建立以及它们在社会协作网络中的相互作用。我们讨论了非人力资源如何被表示为社会连接的节点并被软件代理使用。然后提出了一个以软件代理为中心的语义社交协作网络 (SSCN),它提供了在社交网络中表示和管理网络物理资源的功能。它由一个扩展的本体模型支持,用于在语义上描述人类和非人力资源及其社会互动。已经实施了一个软件代理来代表非人力资源执行一些操作,以实现网络-物理协作。它在英国心理健康服务机构使用的真实世界决策支持系统 GRiST (www.egrist.org) 中得到了展示。
