Future Internet Enterprise Systems: a vision from research Presentation, Digibiz Conference, London, June 17 2009 Cristina Martinez Head of Future Internet Enterprise Systems cluster INFSO D4, European Commission

This statement is 30 years old “ Constantly growing complexity of information systems in industry and society already today approaches the limits of our planning capacity. A formally founded tool box for planning, design development and operation of such systems is urgently needed. Methods are needed to determine the requirements at information systems. Likewise, we need formal concepts to describe, specify and analyze such systems, and to assess their behavior.“ “ Formal Models for Information systems”, Mayr, H.C., Meyer, B.E.: Formale Modelle für Informationssysteme. Informatik- Fachberichte Nr. 21, Springer-Verlag (1979), quoted by W. Reising in Towards a Theory of Services … so, what is the difference with the challenges we face today in ICT?

The evolving concept of Knowledge in a post-modern semantic economy Both a merchandise and a commons Stemming from ambient intelligence environments Data is manipulated with extracting , reporting and statistical tools Terabytes of data acquiring meaning and new value New knowledge = new perspectives Collaboration scheme of FP6 universities. Source: Technology watch Free movement of knowledge: the 5th freedom

Both a merchandise and a commons

Stemming from ambient intelligence environments

Data is manipulated with extracting , reporting and statistical tools

Terabytes of data acquiring meaning and new value

New knowledge = new perspectives

Brave or not: a new world Technology innovation must be friendly as it is only an enabler Danger of widening divide between digital world and business world A perspective transforming our lives, calling for reflection “ Every event taking place at this hour, on the entire surface of the earth, and every event yet to take place in the years ahead, is but a symptom and a phase of the same revolution, the revolution of 'technical slaves '. Men will be considered as equal, as identical, and treated according to the same laws which apply to technical slaves, without any possible concern for their human natures." The Twenty-Fifth Hour" by C. Virgil Gheorghiu

Technology innovation must be friendly as it is only an enabler

Danger of widening divide between digital world and business world

A perspective transforming our lives, calling for reflection

“ Every event taking place at this hour, on the entire surface of the earth, and every event yet to take place in the years ahead, is but a symptom and a phase of the same revolution, the revolution of 'technical slaves '. Men will be considered as equal, as identical, and treated according to the same laws which apply to technical slaves, without any possible concern for their human natures."

In consequence,

Evolution of the FI Enterprise Systems: the FInES’ perspective

New appraisal of Interoperability research as a horizontal issue

Besides, creation of a new domain based on Future internet perspectives and Web 2.0: Enterprise Interoperability

EI, is a (key) subset of FInES

EI Science base interoperability is a new lead to be explored

Why a science base for Enterprise Interoperability? As a result of +15 years of software architecture (degree of maturity ) To avoid past errors or double funding Strong business case Request from the Standardization actors Academic and Intelligence community in other regions are pushing (eBusiness, NIST, NASA, ESA, JAPAN, IFIP, etc.), and software vendors supporting it (ORACLE, MSFT, SAP, etc.) To decouple research from technology and develop fundamental knowledge on complex environments integration Because EI is not only a technology issue, it contains semantics , organisational and business aspects also To leverage rigorous, formalised solutions and apply them to other interoperability contexts Source: Pr. Pingaud, Université de TOULOUSE, presentation, A set of open questions for EI as a science

As a result of +15 years of software architecture (degree of maturity )

To avoid past errors or double funding

Strong business case

Request from the Standardization actors

Academic and Intelligence community in other regions are pushing (eBusiness, NIST, NASA, ESA, JAPAN, IFIP, etc.), and software vendors supporting it (ORACLE, MSFT, SAP, etc.)

To decouple research from technology and develop fundamental knowledge on complex environments integration

Because EI is not only a technology issue, it contains semantics , organisational and business aspects also

To leverage rigorous, formalised solutions and apply them to other interoperability contexts

Elements of Process to achieve a scientific base for EI This is not an easy task New, exploratory work (so far, not existing elsewhere) Requires understanding of the scientific process (epistemology, ontology definition, formalised concepts and approaches, etc.) EI Task Force capacity to reflect on the methodology is limited by its essence (comes from the techno world!) Might fail (e.g. problem statement is not appropriately defined, lack of comprehensiveness, incorrect approach to the problem, etc.) Requires external advice and strong coordination from the domain The focus is first on the enterprise We look for concrete results > application to FInES Supported by a group of Scientific Experts Primary reflection work should be supported by the cluster (horizontal issue) Your input and involvement are essential science base scientific community cluster EI Task Force EI Expert Group industry
