Different “maturity levels” of collaboration
Professional-oriented Industry clusters Virtual
Social Networks Social Networks Long-term alliance Organizations
E.g. FaceBook, MySpace E.g. LinkedIn, Plaxo Regional basis
Collaborative
 Usually have a “general Some cooperation,
little collaboration  Goal-oriented / common goal Network
scope”, not a single topic Grid VO  Temporary alliance
of interest - networking  Joint resource mgmt.
Infrastructure sharing  Joining competencies
as “friends” (Unclear “business” goal) (skills, resources) Collaborative Ad-hoc
 If subdivided into topics  Working together Networked

EUROPEAN LEADERSHIP ?
In addition to the number of existing enterprise networks and R&D projects,
empirical observation also shows that ....
Most publications on CNs are from Europe [although the pattern is changing]
A large numbber of scientific / technical events on CNs are located in Europe
European-introduced “terminology”/concepts on CN are adopted around the
world
... and yet, with few exceptions, most generated knowledge still
remains confined to small circles and communities, and often lost
One of the exceptions: ECOLEAD IP
Journal papers: 37 Methods and Tools

Collaborative Networked Organizations

SCOPE OF THE TASK FORCE
Organize & consolidate base concepts on CNs
In interaction with FoF projects
Contribute to the reference model on Collaborative Networks
Start with existing stage of reference model e.g. ARCON
Identify & characterize emerging challenging areas
Novel application domains, their potential and needs
e.g. CyberPhysical Systems, Smart grid, Ageing, “Social factories”
New collaboration forms & their organizational structures
Identify research needs
Also taking into account other initiatives in EU and around the world
