Abstract - We
envision a near-future in which people able now to browse the web in order
to get information and run single web-based applications will also be able
to instruct the web to make complex actions happen in the world. We call
this functionality, which may seem like magic today, the "World Wide Wizard".
It is in turn based upon the existence of open source services in which not
only can anyone consume but can also provide (semantic) web services.
Further, we suggest that mere engineering rather than fundamental science is
needed for the realization of this vision, so that it is really a near
future vision. We suggest roles for industry and government to play in
facilitating this future, motivated by economic benefits.
The Stanford Logic Group has a research project with SAP to create a
prototype of pieces of the World Wide Wizard functionality and this is
briefly described.

CV
Dr. Petrie was a Founding Member of Technical Staff of the AI Lab founded by Prof. Woody Bledsoe at the Microelectronics and Computer Technology Consortium (MCC) in 1984, Project Leader of the first technology commercialized by MCC, Founding Program Chair of the ICEIMT, one of the earliest editors of the WWW Virtual Library (a precursor of Wikipedia), Founding Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Internet Computing, and Founding Executive Director of the Stanford Networking Research Center. Dr. Petrie has been often asked to write and speak on Internet futures. He edits and writes the Peering column of Internet Computer.His general research topic is collective work (see also "Emerging Collectives for Work and Play"), and his research focuses on the use of web services to create and support Virtual Enterprises with Dynamic Web Service Integration. He is the project leader of a POEM research project with SAP
He collaborates with DERI Innsbruck and Galway and is currently an Advisor to SAP's Enterprise Services Community. Dr. Petrie has also consulted with companies such as HP, Siemens, Volkswagen, DaimlerChrysler, CommerceNet, and Commerce One on advanced IT technologies. He has been a member of the Technology Advisory Group of DaimlerChrysler.1999-2004: Executive Director, 2004-3005 Staff Scientist for the Stanford Networking Research Center. Performed a start-up operation and was within the year the largest research center in the Stanford School of Engineering. After working in this administrative capacity and the organization was mature, he transitioned back to research. As Staff Scientist, he conducted the SNRC Industry Seminar Series
1993-1999: Sr. Research Scientist at the Center for Design Research (CDR) at Stanford. Research interests: agent-based distributed process coordination, with emphasis on concurrent planning and design, using agents with shared models for change propagation. While there, he was also one of the founding council members of the WWW Virtual Library, starting the Mechanical Engineering section.
In cooperation with Professors Larry Leifer and Mark R. Cutkosky, Dr. Petrie was part of the DARPA experiment in distributed engineering: MADEFAST. At the CDR, he implemented a generic process coordination server, called Redux', that forms the basis for a agent-based engineering framework, called ProcessLink, for the coordination of heterogeneous engineering design tools. The first application was a distributed system for the design of aircraft electrical cable systems. The project was design of consumer electronics for Toshiba. A major result of this agent-based engineering work was the JATLite agent infrastructure.
From April, 1984, until September, 1993, Dr. Petrie was Senior Member, Technical Staff, at the Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corporation ( MCC). He was the first person hired by Professor Woody Bledsoe for the AI Lab there, worked for Dr. Elaine Rich, and led the Proteus Project, which developed an advanced hybrid reasoning system and was the first technology to be used commercially by MCC shareholders.
Dr. Petrie is also experienced in technology transfer issues and is the subject of a case study, "Technology Transfer and MCC", in R&D Collaboration on Trial, Gibson, David V. and Rogers, Everett M., Harvard Business School Press, 1994. Dr. Petrie also worked with the MCC EINet project in developing E-commerce technology. He holds a patent for using crytographic techniques for insuring delivery of software products over the Internet.
Prior to MCC, Dr. Petrie was a project manager for Sperry Univac, and a specialist in performance analysis and benchmarking of mainframes for distributed networked systems and seismic processing.
He has a B.S. in Mathematics from LSU and a M.S. and Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Texas at Austin in Austin, Texas. His advisor was Prof. Robert Simmons. He has published extensively in the field of knowledge representation, truth maintenance, constraint satisfaction, and inferencing architectures. He has served and continues as a reviewer, guest editor, and/or program committee member for IEEE, AIEDAM, CERA, AI, AAAI, IJCAI, ECAI, and CAIA. He has co-taught ME394: Computational Support for Team Design.
