Preface
In the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sector where metadata standards are proliferating at unprecedented levels and automated information management systems need to collect and process information from, every day, sensors, devices, applications, systems, etc., the interoperability of the information and the knowledge exchange is identified as one of the major challenges. Furthermore, this necessity continues increasing as result of the everyday new demands for smarter services and the large amount of information captured and generated electronically, and also for today’s trend about the information being processed and stored in cloud applications. The introduction of these cited new demands bring as clear consequence the inevitable diversification of information, then as a predictable requirement, efficient data collection and optimal processing mechanism have to be designed and implemented and service providers, operators and infrastructure managers have to operate with many different standards and vocabularies. The use of semantic techniques to face up this requirement sounds as an optimum approach providing advantages in terms of facilitating data and information mapping. However those semantic techniques are becoming very costly, in terms of computing resources and time-response factors, resulting in loss of business opportunities because existing systems are not adaptable enough to those scalability demands. If this cross-domain and information sharing problem is translated into the communications domain, as a result, it is necessary to deal with the most common scenari
