A question to start the new year... Quite often when we talk about Semantic Grid we observe that in practice a little bit of semantics goes a long way - the real Semantic Grid deployments haven't made extensive use of advanced techniques. Also some of our predicted areas haven't taken off as we expected 5 years ago - like agents and e-Science. It's easy to see where we are now. But where are we going in this respect...I'd like to ask one simple question and get the views of people on the list: Which techniques from AI will we be using in e-Science in the future - and when? What do you think...agents? Reasoning (where?), planning, knowledge acquisition, machine learning, etc etc...? Robots? Happy New Year! :-) -- Dave
