eChallenges 2010

The goal of e-2010 is to stimulate rapid take-up of Research and Technology Development (RTD) results by industry and in particular SMEs, and help open up the European Research Area (ERA) to the rest of the world.

The eChallenges e-2010 Conference takes place in the beautiful city of Warsaw, coinciding with Chopin's 200th Anniversary.

The Scientific Programme for eChallenges e-2010 is based on an open Call for Papers which closed on 08 March. The Advance Programme is published. Authors should complete conference registration by 30 June and submit final papers online by 11 July.

Plenary speakers confirmed to date include:

  • Mrs Katarzyna Sobierajska, Undersecretary of State, Ministry of Sport and Tourism of the Republic of Poland
  • Mrs Magdalena Gaj, Undersecretary of State, Ministry of Infrastructure, Poland
  • Representative, Ministry of Science and Higher Education, Poland
  • Representative, Department of Information Society, Ministry of Interior and Administration, Poland
  • Mario Campolargo, Director, DG Information Society and Media, European Commission
  • David Broster, Head of Information Technology & Services Unit, Joint Research Centre IPTS, Spain

eChallenges e-2010 is Supported by the European Commission, Hosted by Ministry of Sport and Tourism, Supported by Warsaw Convention Bureau and the Convention Bureau of Poland, and Technical Co-Sponsored by IEEE.

eChallenges provides a prestigious, international forum to share success stories and lessons learnt from applied Information and Communications Technology (ICT) related research at European level (FP6 & FP7) as well as Regional, National and Commercial initiatives. International cooperation and discussion of commercialisation, exploitation & interoperability issues are key aspects of the programme.

The programme will combine strategic keynote presentations, technical, legal and policy papers, business and government case studies, workshops and tutorials. e-2010 will also feature an Exhibition and an attractive Social Programme for partners, presenters, delegates and exhibitors, to enhance networking opportunities both during and after the Conference.

Are Enterprise Collaboration and Enterprise Interoperability enabling Innovation scenarios in industry? The COIN IP perspective in Automotive and Aerospace

 
The COIN project aims at addressing and solving Enterprise Interoperability (EI) and Enterprise Collaboration (EC) challenges encountered by Networked Enterprises (supply chains, collaborative networks, business ecosystems) during the whole Virtual Organizations life-cycle (preparation and breeding, set-up and formation, operation and governance, dissolution and inheritance). Such challenges concern the information, knowledge and business interoperability as well as the collaboration / human communication patterns necessary to implement collaborative product development, production planning and project management.
 
One of the fundamental assumptions of the COIN project is the distinction between Utility Services and Value Added Services. The former ones are to be implemented in the Future Internet scenario by a federation of open and trusted platforms (the so-called F-O-T platforms) under commoditization-oriented business models. The latter ones are to be implemented in the Internet of Services by highly sophisticated and professional Service Parks, mostly based on virtualization of resources and Cloud Computing principles, and by open web constellations of data/services, the so-called Service Web, to be searched and discovered by next generation semantic search engines and crawlers. Proper SaaS-based business models do also exist to implement in the business arena either perspective (e.g. the Free, the Freemium and the pay-as-you-go models)
 
However, the border between the two and between their respective and distinct implementations (Service Parks and Service Web) is blurring and we currently experiment a constant inexorable trend in the ICT industry towards commoditization of services where low-volume elitist, exclusive IT assets are quickly becoming large-volume, available-to-all public goods.
 
Similarly to that analysis above, the COIN System for EI and EC envisages two interconnected clouds of platforms:
  • a federation of COIN EI/EC Service Utility Platforms, building the EI/EC infrastructure of the Future Internet (namely the EI/EC Utility Services of it, i.e. the ISU, Interoperability Service Utility), each specialized for peculiar EI/EC problem solving, like models and data mappings, collaborative business processes synchronization, human communication and collaboration services;
  • a federation of COIN EI/EC Value Added Services Platforms, building the interactive and collaborative infrastructure of the Future Internet (namely the EI/EC Value Added Services of it), each specialized for a peculiar application domain (e.g. budgeting, planning, design, manufacturing) or for a peculiar industrial sector (e.g. automotive, aerospace. Textile, furniture).
 
The major objective of this workshop is to show and discuss together two industrial EI/EC cases taken from automotive and aerospace sectors, where Utility and Value Added services mix up together to solve business interoperability and collaboration challenges. The final aim of the workshop is also to show how such a virtuous combination of utility and value added services (called SaaS-U in COIN wordings) represents a vector and an enabler for networked innovation in enterprises, SMEs in particular.
 
The workshop is connected to the submitted workshop “Business Models for Smart Applications and Systems in the Future Internet”.
 
Description
The purpose of this workshop is to illustrate and explore the innovation potential of Enterprise Collaboration and Interoperability Services, Utility and Value-Added, in selected Enterprise Application Domains for the Future Internet Enterprise, emerging from the FP7/ICT COIN Integrating Project (ICT-216256 www.coin-ip.eu) presented from the view-point of selected scenarios in Automotive and Aerospace SME clusters.
 
The discussion focus of the workshop will include:
  • Business motivation and application of EI & EC innovative services in Aerospace Clusters;
  • Business motivation and application of EI & EC innovative services in Automotive Clusters;
  • Innovation potentials of the COIN approach.
 
Target Audience
 
The workshop is targeted at the full spectrum of stakeholders in the areas of ICT applications and services, enterprise networking and systems, and Future Internet in general, including researchers, vendors, solution/service providers, enterprises as users and potential providers in particular SMEs.
 
Duration: 90 minutes
