Integrating e-IMS Platform via Interoperability within Collaborative Enterprises

摘要

Current R&D directions sustained by the European Commission and by FP7 and in the near future by FP8 research programs, are focusing on the development and standardization of new technologies to sustain the "Future Internet". In this context the development of new Internet-related concepts and technologies oriented towards providing positive benefits for economy has been included in a broad concept of "Future Internet Based Enterprise Systems". The Intelligent Manufacturing Systems (IMS) paradigms are leading our Information Society towards New Economy-driven Knowledge Society copying with Global e-Markets new list of System of Systems requirements. The Complex, Adaptive Non-monolithic Dynamic Systems (CADS) has been defined as oriented on Virtual Enterprise (VE) architecture, as well as involved in cross-enterprise methodology like Life Long Product/Service/Organization Management (LPM/PSO) and Business Intelligence (BI). Interoperating efficiently, both horizontally and vertically, is a basic requirement towards the aim of Systemic Integration within Collaborative Concurrent Competitive Enterprises.
