Awardees are selected by a panel of experts from IBM Research and D evelopment, and external reviews of proposals are sought to assist in the selection process. Eclipse is an open-source community that creates technology and an open universal platform for tools integration. Eclipse also offers significant value to researchers and educators, by providing an industrial-strength infrastructure for conducting research and developing curricula in many areas of computer science and computer engineering, with particular relevance to programming languages, development tools, collaboration and programming e nvironments. METEOR-S project has developed tools related to Web Services,Web Processes, and Semantic Web Services that will be offered as plug-ins for Eclipse. Eclipse is also used extensively in the courses taught by Profs. Sheth and Miller. More information is [here]. In 2004, Prof. Sheth and Miller were also awarded a $28,000 cash gift from the same program. |

LSDIS lab's collaboration with IBM resulted in a member submission
"Web Services Semantics: WSDL-S"
to the World Wide Web consortium (W3C). On March 21, W3C launched
"Semantic Annotations for WSDL Working Group"
which recognizes UGA-IBM submissions on WSDL-S as the input.

LSDIS lab has a collaboration with Athens Heart Center (AHC), the largest cardiology practice in Athens, GA. Building upon LSDIS's experitse in the Semantic Web,
the collaboration has lead to the development and deployement of an Active Semantic Electronic Patient Record system.
This system is also entering continuous usage in the AHC practice, and is one of the earliest Semantic Web applications
developed and used that exploit multiple ontologies, semantic and lexical annotation and rule processing.
A description and demonstration of the system now deployed at AHC is available at: http://lsdis.cs.uga.edu/projects/asdoc/ and http://www.w3.org/2005/04/swls/. LSDIS students and staff who contributed under the guidance of Prof. Amit Sheth include, Jon Lathem, Matthew Eavenson, Cory Henson, and Dev Palaniswami. |
