The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) hinges on the quality and accessibility of data, yet the current fragmentation and variability of data sources hinder efficient data utilization. The dispersion of data sources and diversity…
Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI) is regarded as one of the most promising techniques to provide intelligent services under strict privacy protection regulations for multiple clients. By applying DAI, training on raw data is carried…
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is the standard interface between large language model (LLM) agents and external tools. At organizational scale, however, it exposes two structural problems. First, every API integration is shipped as a…
Service-oriented High Level Architecture (SOHLA) refers to the high level architecture (HLA) enabled by Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Web Services etc. techniques which supports distributed interoperating services. The detailed…
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is being provided to the variety of end-users demands, thereby providing a better and improved management of services is crucial. Therefore, Service Level Agreements (SLAs) are essential and…
Dataspaces are designed to support sovereign, trusted and decentralized data exchange between participants forming an ecosystem. They are standardized by initiatives such as the International Data Spaces Association or Gaia-X and have…
NL2SQL systems aim to address the growing need for natural language interaction with data. However, real-world information rarely maps to a single SQL query because (1) users express queries iteratively (2) questions often span multiple…
Group recommendation systems play a pivotal role in supporting collective decisions across various contexts, from leisure activities to organizational team-building. Existing group recommendation approaches typically use either handcrafted…
In an increasingly data-driven world, the ability to understand, interpret, and use data - data literacy - is emerging as a critical competence across all academic disciplines. The Data Literacy Initiative (DaLI) at TH K\"oln addresses this…
This document describes the Server-side Operations for Data Access (SODA) web service capability. SODA is a low-level data access capability or server side data processing that can act upon the data files, performing various kinds of…
OpenID Connect for Agents (OIDC-A) 1.0 is an extension to OpenID Connect Core 1.0 that provides a comprehensive framework for representing, authenticating, and authorizing LLM-based agents within the OAuth 2.0 ecosystem. As autonomous AI…
Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) have enabled the development of increasingly complex agentic and multi-agent systems capable of planning, tool use and task decomposition. However, empirical evidence shows that many of these…
Interactive visualization design and research have primarily focused on local data and synchronous events. However, for more complex use cases---e.g., remote database access and streaming data sources---developers must grapple with…
All Control Systems that grow to any size have a variety of data that are stored in different formats on different nodes in the network. Examples include sensor value and status, archived sensor data, device oriented support data and…
First the basic definition of information as a selection from a set of possibilities resp. domain is recalled. This also applies to digital information. The bits of digital information are parts of number sequences which represent a…
Multi-domain data is becoming increasingly common and presents both challenges and opportunities in the data science community. The integration of distinct data-views can be used for exploratory data analysis, and benefit downstream…
A Service Level Agreement (SLA) is a formal contract between a service provider and a consumer, representing a crucial instrument to define, manage, and maintain relationships between these two parties. The SLA's ability to define the…
This document describes an XML encoding standard for metadata about services implementing the table access protocol TAP [TAP], referred to as TAPRegExt. Instance documents are part of the service's registry record or can be obtained from…
Enterprise Networks, over the years, have become more and more complex trying to keep up with new requirements that challenge traditional solutions. Just to mention one out of many possible examples, technologies such as Virtual LANs…
Building interactive data interfaces is hard because the design of an interface depends on the data processing needs for the underlying analysis task, yet we do not have a good representation for analysis tasks. To fill this gap, this paper…
