InSciTe Advanced: Strategic Decision-Making Support Service based on Technology Opportunity Discovery Model

Abstract

This paper describes InSciTe Advanced, a decision-making support service, based on the TOD (technology opportunity discovery) model. The TOD model is a logical model for the discovery of emerging technologies and prediction of phase and speed on a technology life cycle. InSciTe Advanced is based on semantic technologies such as ontology, semantic repository and inference as well as text mining. It aims to provide multi-facet services about emerging technologies, their elements and alternation in all domains. InSciTe Advanced has major services such as trends and predictions, technology levels, relationship paths, roadmaps and competitors and collaborators.
