5. Standards

REQUIRED
Interoperability enablers
Business enablers
STRATEGIC
Not technical solutions but related to enterprise governance
Factor of competitiveness
COMPLEX
Numerous and specialized
Successive paradigms and competition
To be combined to cover full spectrum of needs
Research and new practices needed
Digital Business Ecosystems
Federation of standards within evolutionary environements
For sustainable interoperability
In order to respond to new challenges
Mastering complexity

6. PERCEPTION OF STANDARDS
Development too long – Robust infrastructure reducing impact of fast evolution
It doesn’t work - It works in numerous domain (WEB, Telephone, Power, NIST survey)
High cost of implementation - scale saving, anticipation
ARCHITECTURE
No federative framework
Insufficient secured collaborative environment
Practices
Missing approach for “pragmatic” interoperability at an acceptable cost
Missing long term approaches with appropriate governance
Insufficient maturity for communities of interest
Development in silos, without overall consistency
Lack of qualification by implementers forums to facilitate the operational use

8. IMAGINE Project
Partners: Intrasoft, EADS, LAAS, CRF Fiat, Reply, AIDIMA,
UNINOVA, SAG, UoP, UoW, IPA, Servtech, NTUA,
Targeted outputs:
• Dynamic Manufacturing Network methodology
• Specification of supporting platform – the i_platform
• Implementations and deployment on Living Lab for
several domains including Aeronautic
Principals for Open Experimentation platform
infrastructure
 develop standards
 assess their implementation by tools (Software systems,
devices) and organizations (processes, methods)
• Open groups of interest (SIG)
• Open evaluations end 2013-2014 in Living labs for Aeronautic,
Automotive, Furniture, etc.
• Open source appliances with community project including industry,
universities, solution providers
• Standards: ISA 95, SCOR, SCORM, AP242, ArchiMate, WSRP, JBI,
MDA

9. Standard Interoperability PLM (SIP) Project
IRT System X project
Project under definition for start September 2013
Will take advantage of the IRT philosophy
Objectives:
• Open test bed for standards development and assessment
of standards implementation evaluation
• Knowledge sharing concerning pragmatic interoperability
• Constitution of a digital business ecosystem with OEM,
SMES, research and standardization
Perspectives:
• Exploitation, valorization and sharing of numerous
research project results related to standards and
sustainable interoperability
• Responding to several identified gaps & innovation needs
• Contribution to Implementation forum (Industry or ICT)
