Service-Oriented Knowledge Acquisition Paradigm and Knowledge Cloud Platform

Cloud computing is an emerging new computing paradigm for delivering some computing services to consumers, which provides scalable and inexpensive service-oriented computing infrastructures with good quality of service levels. In this paper, based on the studies about the characteristic of knowledge service, a feature model of knowledge service is proposed with three features, such as service requirement, knowledge service process, and the quality of knowledge service (QoKS). Furthermore, the architecture about service-oriented knowledge acquisition is built to provide a fundamental for knowledge service, and the lifecycle process about knowledge service is studied under the service-oriented architecture. Then, a best practice about Knowledge Cloud, named Eknoware, is developed based on the architecture above-mentioned, which can provide some knowledge service patterns and reorganize the knowledge clusters to suitable customers.
