Bio

Dr. Hala Skaf-Molli graduated from Nancy University (France) and received her Ph.D. in Computer Science from Nancy University in 1997. Since 1998, she is Associate Professor at University of Nancy and a member of LORIA. Dr. Skaf-Molli has mainly worked on collaborative distributed systems and focused on problems of Peer-to-peer Semantic Wikis, Workflow, Business Processes and awareness models for collaborative environments. She participated in several research projects such as Corvette (Collaborative and flexible Workflow) with HITACHI Japan, RORAX with Lebanese University and Seyct with La Plata University, Argentina. She is a member of organization committee and program committee of several conferences and workshops. She was the scientific coordinator of the first autumn school in Information Systems at Al-Baath University, Homs, Syria (27-29 October 2008).

Research Interests

My research topic is mainly distributed collaborative systems. I want to build distributed collaborative systems for the Semantic Web. I am interested in:

  • Distributed Semantic Wikis : I propose :
    • Distributed Semantic MediaWiki (DSMW) (Released in LGPL (October 2009): DSMW is an extension of Semantic Mediawiki (SMW). It allows to create a network of SMW servers that share common semantic wiki pages. DSMW manages synchronisation of shared semantic pages and ensures CCI consistency as in Google Wave. CCI stands for Causality, Convergence, Intentions. DSMW provides to SMW nearly the same features as a Distributed Version Control systems. It uses a semantic publish/Subscribe mechanism to propagate modifications.

    • Peer-to-peer Semantic Wikis(SWOOKI)is a P2P? network of autonomous semantic wiki servers (called also peers or nodes) that can dynamically join and leave the network. Every peer hosts a copy of all semantic wiki pages and an RDF store for the semantic data. Every peer can autonomously offer all the services of a semantic wiki server. When a peer updates its local copy of data, it generates a corresponding operation. This operation is broadcasted through the P2P? network to all other peers to be integrated.

    • Demonstration :SWooki: Supporting Disconnection in a Peer-to-peer Semantic Wiki Δ. Hala Skaf-Molli, Pascal Molli and Gérome Canals. In Demonstration at 5éme Journées Francophones : Mobilité et Ubiquité - UbiMob?? 2009

      • Paper :Undo in Peer-to-peer Semantic Wikis. Charbel Rahhal, Stéphane Weiss, and Hala Skaf-Molli, Pascal Urso and Pascal Molli. In SemWiki?? 2009 - 4rd Semantic Wiki Workshop at the 6th European Semantic Web Conference (ESWC 2009) , page 18 , Heraklion, Greece , May 2009

  • Knowledge personalization A semantic wiki is a suitable environnement for collaborative knowledge builing. I am interested in knowledge personalization in P2P? semantic wikis.
