The Complex Semantic Space Model

The cyber-physical society is a complex space where human abilities are extended to various spaces by coordinating the cyber space, physical space, socio space and mental space. A challenge issue is to seek the uniformity in managing resources in these spaces. This keynote introduces a complex semantic space model that is suitable for managing various resources in different spaces in the cyber-physical society. The model is based on classification and link, which are basic mechanisms in forming and evolving spaces. Its distinguished characteristics and functions support the implementation of cyber-physical-socio intelligence. Applications in supporting co-navigation in multiple spaces in the cyber-physical society and in modeling the management of semantic images are introduced.
