This day no theoretical talks, but instead two invited speakers - and much social programme, with a lunch at a swimming pool and a dinner in [http://images.google.com/images?q=segovia Segovia]. Segovia is a beautiful town, with a huge, real, still standing roman aqueduct. Stunning. And there I ate the best pork ever! The aqueduct survived the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1755_Lisbon_earthquake huge earthquake of Lisbon of 1755], although houses around it crumbled and broke. This is, because it is built without any mortar - just stone over stone. So the stones could swing and move slightly, and the construction survived. <br />

The talks were very different today: first was [http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~mjw/ Mike Woolridge] of the [http://www.liv.ac.uk/ University of Liverpool]. He talked about Multiagent Systems in the past, the present and the future. He identified five trends in computing: Ubiquity, Interconnection, Intelligence, Delegation and Human-orientation. <br />

His view on intelligence was very interesting: it is about the complexity of tasks that we are able to automate and delegate to computers. He quoted John Alan Robertson - the guy who invented resolution calculus, a professor of philosophy - as exclaiming "This is Artificial Intelligence!", when he saw a presentation of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortran FORTRAN compiler] at a conference. I guess the point was, don't mind about becoming as intelligent as humans, just mind at getting closer. <br />

The second talk was returning to the Semantic Web in a very pragmatic way: how to make money with it? Richard Benjamins of [http://www.isoco.com/en/index.html iSOCO] just flew in from Amsterdam where he was at the [[SEKT]] meeting, and he brought promising news about the developing market for Semantic Web technologies. Mike Woolridge was criticizing Richard's optimistic projections and noted that he also, about ten years ago, spent a lot of energy and money into the growing Multiagent market - and lost most of it. It was an interesting discussion - Richard being the believer, Mike the sceptic, and a lot of young people betting a few years worth of life on the ideas presented by the first one...

Yeah! Doccheck's Klaus Lassleben is implementing the Semantic MediaWiki, and there's a version of it running for quite some time already, but some bugs had to be killed. Now, go and take a look! It's great.

And the coolest thing is the search. Just start typing the relation, and it gives you an autoexpansion, just like Google Suggest does (well, a tiny bit better :) Sure, the autoexpansion is no scientific breakthrough, but it's a pretty darn cool feature.

The SourceForge project Semediawiki is already up and running, and I sure hope that Mr Lassleben will commit the code any day soon!

Even better, Sudarshan has already started implementing extensions to it - without having the code! That's some dedication. His demo is running here, and shows how the typed links may be hidden from the source text of the wiki, for those users who don't like it. Great.

Now, go and check the demo!
