COIN Final Conference - Vienna 8-9 Nov 2011 - Session outcomes and Presentations available
The COIN Final Conference has been successfully held in Vienna - Nov 8-9, 2011.
The conference was organised in 2 sessions with Technical and Business focus; the main outcomes and presentations are now available.
Interoperability and Collaboration IT Services for Enterprises
Led by Sergio Gusmeroli - TXT e-solutions.
The COIN technical heritage is very significant and important. The
COIN Vision and Motto is opening new scenarios for Enterprise Software Applications incumbents and also
for new PPP models. The Generic Service Platform federation is an anticipation of the Future Internet PPP Core
Platform Generic Enablers and could contribute to them Enterprise Interoperability information
(services & knowledge), mostly in its federated form, is becoming a
necessity for enterprises and needs to be considered a public good
for growth. Enterprise Collaboration is a way to achieve more open innovation at all levels:
product, service, market and business model innovation.
Led by Man-Sze Li - IC Focus.
The CON business research has assessed the business viability and
future prospects for the Interoperability Service Utility (ISU) - one of the
Grand Challenges from the first version of the research roadmap of the
FInES Cluster - and its instantiation ("SaaS-U") in a number of business
domains together with business pilots correlating to different levels of
enterprise maturity. Utility services are in principle economically viable in
ICT.
While the ISU has disruptive potential, market forces might foreclose
the openness of the ISU. Under these circumstances, the potential benefits
and effects of innovation for enterprises would be much harder to
materialise, and severely curtailed. Utility service infrastructures are a
critical enabler for emerging and new business ecosystems. A key research
question is the innovation potential of market systems and new modes of
exchange and their impacts on next-generation enterprise systems at the level
of the firm and enterprise networks.
