SWoT group

A Web space for the Semantic Web of Things (SWoT) group's research work conducted at Intelligent Systems lab (i-Lab), Dept. of Cultural Technology and Comm., University of the Aegean.

About Us

We align to the opinion of Google DeepMind's CEO, Demis Hassabis, that our current and future undergraduate students should spend time 'learning to learn'. After their graduation, what is important for them in the era of Emerging and Disruptive Technologies (EDTs), including the Semantic Web, AI, IoT, XR and Quantum Computing, is to identify their passions and learn (at least) the core fundamentals of their discipline/degree. How do we learn best? How can we adapt to changes? In this new era (of EDTs) we are entering, the only predictable thing can be that of "the magnitude of the disruption and change".

So, learn how to learn, learn how to adapt, learn how to live along with EDTs.
