The main objective of the OSMOSE project is to develop a reference architecture, a middleware and some prototypal applications for the Sensing-Liquid Enterprise, by interconnecting Real, Digital and Virtual Worlds in the same way a semi-permeable membrane permits the flow of liquid particles through itself.

4. According to the FInES Research Roadmap 2025, Sensing Enterprise and Liquid
Enterprise are two Qualities of Being which are considered strategic for any
future enterprise.
• The Sensing Enterprise will emerge with the evolution of the Internet of
Things, when objects, equipment, and technological infrastructures will
exhibit advanced networking and processing capabilities, actively
cooperating to form a sort of 'nervous system' within the enterprise next
generation.
• The Liquid Enterprise is an enterprise having fuzzy boundaries, in terms of
human resources, markets, products and processes. Its strategies and
operational models will make it difficult to distinguish the inside and the
outside.
Project Motivation
4

5. The intuition of this project proposal is to try to explain the sensing enterprise by
means of a metaphor taken form physics and strongly supported by the Liquid
Enterprise idea.
The Sensing-Liquid Enterprise as a pot internally subdivided into three sectors by
means of three membranes and forming the Real-Digital-Virtual sectors.
‐ A blue liquid is poured into the first sector → Real World population
‐ A red liquid into the second sector → Digital World population
‐ A green liquid into the third sector → Virtual World population
Project Concept
5
If the membranes are semi-permeable, by following the rules of osmosis which
characterises each of the three membranes, the liquid particles could pass through
them and influence the neighbouring world, so that in reality in the blue Real World
we could also have red-green shadow ambassadors of the Digital/Virtual World and
similarly for the other Worlds.

6. Project Mission
6
The main objective of the
OSMOSE project is to develop
a reference architecture, a
middleware and some
prototypal applications for
the Sensing-Liquid Enterprise,
by interconnecting Real,
Digital and Virtual worlds in
the same way a semi-
permeable membrane
permits the flow of liquid
particles through itself.

«Liquid Stargate»
For modeling and
managing shadows of
objects in the three
interconnected worlds,
managing the secure
interaction between
Actors (RW), Agents
(DW), Avatars (VW)
To let the three worlds
communicate and to
keep background
consistency among
them with specific
communication rules
To allows humans to
browse the relevant
real-digital-virtual
assets in an integrated
multi world view.
Innovative Operation Management
application in the Aerospace domain
concerned with helicopters’ pilot training
Innovative Supply Chain Management
application in the Automotive domain
concerned with camshafts life cycle

8. Two European industrial domains, assessing technology, socio-technical
implications, privacy and security issues. The two proof of concept cases are:
OSMOSE Proof-of-Concept scenarios
8
• Aviation: scenario based on the
operations of a Flight Simulator
AW139 model currently adopted by
different customers around the
world
• Automotive: the pilot considers the
use of OSMOSE to optimise and
manage a global manufacturing
process of automotive camshafts

9. The instance we will use for the experimentations is a fix-based FSTD (Flight
Simulator Training Device) hosted by the AW Training Academy (AWTA)
located in Sesto Calende.
OSMOSE Aviation Pilot

Real World
• Simulator enriched by additional
sensors (cameras, temperature,
light, vibrations, ..)
• Debriefing room equipped with
a new interaction facility based
on natural language for
expressing experiences and
emotions
Digital World
• AWTA Multimedia Training
repositories (Flight Manuals and
Procedures) and
• Dynamic context-aware User
Profiles
• Manufacturing data of the FSTD.
Virtual World
• Virtual Flight Simulator called
VIPT
• Remotely commanded by the
pilot
• Used to simulate or re-run what-
if scenarios and complementing
flight operations

10. The pilot considers the use of OSMOSE to optimise and manage a global
manufacturing process of automotive camshafts to produce with less energy,
best quality and higher yield.

Real World
• Sensed both at a camshaft and
manufacturing process levels
• Awareness of logistics,
production planning and part
quality status
• Active monitoring of machine
tool parameters, intra- and inter-
enterprise logistic processes.
Digital World
• Digitalised versions of all
manufactured parts,
• Manufacturing process
parameters and quality control
features
• Planning decisions based on
Digital World operations,
triggered by Real World events
Virtual World
• Decisions supported by analysis
in the VW through simulation of
what-if scenarios
• Knowledge base generated from
simulations
• Increased visibility to the
production engineers about the
most suitable process
configuration to implement.

11. OSMOSE Impacts
11
OSMOSE Impact Strategy to Sensing Liquid Digital Enterprises
• The OSMOSE impact is on delivering to manufacturing industries in various sectors the required enablers for their sensing-
liquid digital transformation and connecting the specific enablers to the digital capabilities of the Future Internet.
OSMOSE Technology Impact
• OSMOSE will make an impact in the realm of the Pervasive Internet and Smart Business operation through digital sensing
enterprises. OSMOSE provides a roadmap and a technology platform that should support the transition and implementation
of European SMEs of new business models and strategies in the digital world.
OSMOSE Socio-Economic Impact
• Positive impact on the values of the FI, which will be requested to provide specific technical support to make labour intensive,
European workplaces more sustainable and of better quality. OSMOSE will propose new uses on the FI Core Platform support
for 3D and Augmented Reality content in a mobile context, smart object interaction, etc. Economic and sustainability interest
behind the OSMOSE trials should be properly balanced and accommodated in the FI context.
OSMOSE Impact in the Proofs of Concept
• The AW proof of concept is focusing on post-delivery management of high-value complex industrial products such as
helicopters’ simulators
• For the EPC proof of concept, the value of the asset in question is much lower, but the number of assets and artefact to
consider much higher, as well as its dispersion around the world.

12. The OSMOSE consortium composition is a direct consequence of the main
RTD purpose which originated the proposal idea, i.e. to provide a continuity
in RTD effort related to the development of applications enabled for the
Sensing Enterprise.
The consortium is composed of 9 beneficiaries:
• 7 RTD partners: three large IT Industries, one SME IT Provider, three
leading edge EU research centers
• 2 Application cases: Aeronautic and Automotive Domains
