Abstract
This paper presents a new intelligent mediators configuration approach which exploits high expressive description logics to represent metadata, and reasoning tasks in order to build more flexible mediation systems. A user specifies a needs expression in terms of (i) an interesting view over a given application domain, (ii) sources preferences and (iii) architectural requirements. A well-adapted mediator, is automatically configured according to these needs through a reasoning-based configuration process. A configured mediator can therefore be adapted in order to build knowledge-based mediation systems with an arbitrary architecture.
