The Internet has evolved over the last two decades from a global (read only) information hub for end-users, to its current form (Web 2.0) with its end-user support for content creation (e.g., blogging, social networking). However, even in its current development stage, Web 2.0 is only a step towards the original vision of what the Internet might become – a Web of Things also known as Web 3.0. Web 3.0 will be built upon several key technologies (e.g., Semantic Web, automated tagging, reasoning and semantic linking), with machines talking to other machines to deal with much of the daily routine work, leaving humans to provide the inspiration and intuition all in a global context. While many domains (e.g., automotive, manufacturing, home automation) have started to make the Web 3.0 an important and integrated part of their future solution space, the software engineering community has yet to embrace this move. The objective of this research program is to introduce Ambient Software Engineering as a cross disciplinary approach, integrating traditional software engineering (evolution) research, with state-of-the art research from domains such as Semantic Web, Natural Language Processing, knowledge modeling and Mining Software Repositories. The approach takes advantage of matured Semantic Web technologies, which support a standardized unified and formal knowledge representation using ontologies and Linked Data of existing heterogeneous knowledge resources.

在过去的二十年中，互联网已经从终端用户的全球（只读）信息中心发展到其当前形式（Web 2.0），其终端用户支持内容创建（例如，博客，社交网络）。然而，即使在目前的发展阶段，Web 2.0也只是朝着互联网可能成为的最初愿景迈出的一步-物联网也被称为Web 3.0。Web 3.0将建立在几个关键技术之上（例如，语义网，自动标记，推理和语义链接），机器与其他机器对话以处理大部分日常工作，让人类在全球范围内提供灵感和直觉。虽然许多域（例如，汽车、制造业、家庭自动化）已经开始将Web 3.0作为其未来解决方案空间的重要组成部分，但软件工程社区尚未接受这一举措。该研究计划的目标是引入环境软件工程作为一种跨学科的方法，将传统的软件工程（进化）研究与语义网，自然语言处理，知识建模和挖掘软件仓库等领域的最新研究相结合。该方法利用成熟的语义Web技术，支持一个标准化的统一和正式的知识表示，使用现有的异构知识资源的本体和关联数据。
