33. Achieving the FInES Vision
The key difference of mid-term/focused vs
long-term/wide-scope Research
Roadmap
Focused Mid-term RR
– A focused domain (e.g., Nanotechnologies)
– Define the Start A (SotA), extrapolate
Destination B, define the road from A to B
– typically a Gartner, Accenture, ... business
Vision-based / Long-term RR
– Start from a Vision, apply a regression process.
– Portray a constellation of Enterprise solutions
– Bridge the gap between Vision and Enterp Sol

Dimension
The following operational areas are
connected in a spiral/fractal fashion
• Invent
• Plan
• Build
• Operate
• Manage&Monitor
• Dismiss
••• 40

41. 2c. New foundational approaches
for Future Enterprises
Governance
• Enterprise as a complex artefact
• Enterprise Engineering: need for a
systematic approach
• A World of Models, based on Design
Science
• But... Accepting the limitations of a
modelling approach
• Surviving with partial models, to be
addressed with Complexity Theory
• E.g., from BPM to Complex Event Proc
••• 41

42. 3. The FInES Space
This is the key knowledge space for the FInES
Cluster. It contains the 9 Research Challenges,
organised according to the following three
dimensions:
1. Knowledge Dimension
2. Functional Dimension,
3. Engineering Dimension
••• 42

43. 1. Enterprise Knowledge
Dimension
This knowledge dimension concerns
the modeling of the enterprise at
conceptual level (Unified Digital
Enterprise: UDE), at factual level
and their massive interconnection
(Linked Open Knowledge), and
finally it diachronic modeling (e.g.,
complex systems modeling)
••• 43

44. RC2. Linked Open Knowledge
This is an evolution of current Linked
Open Data, where there will be a
‘lifting’ of expressive power of both the
represented resources, from factual
knowledge to semantic knowledge,
and the kinds of links adopted.
The semantic links will be adorned with
enriched axiomatization, to allow for
advanced reasoning and querying
••• 44

45. FRR MoW
• Motivations
• Objectives
• Sustainability
• Content & its Organization
• Governance model
• Actors
• Tools & Functions
••• 45

46. FRR MoW – Motivations &
Objectives
• Go beyond the typical limits of ‘paper’
research roadmaps
• The FRR 2025 is the 4th Resarch
Roadmap of this community in a
decade
• Guarantee a larger participation and
involvement of different communities
• Provide the Commission with a
permanent mechanism to understand
how the discipline is evolving
••• 46

47. FRR MoW – M & O (2)
• Keep under control the achievements
and advancements, to constantly
update the SotA
Practical issues
• Create a directory of achievements,
scientific results, tools and
methodologies that can be reused
• A shared, open knowledge
repository with the FRR content
• Support a constant growth of the
FInES Community, avoiding
duplications and overlappings ••• 47

48. FRR MoW – M & O (3)
• Allow all the FInES Community to
participate as knowledge provider
• Supporting social wide collaboration
in the continuous improvement and
update of the FRR
• Hosting different opinions and points
of view
• Allowing for different strategies in
accesses and navigation, from different
users and stakeholders
••• 48

49. Sustainability
• Need of a cohesive community
• Create a dedicated teams
• Value model (beyond monetary):
– benefits compensate the inflow
– Practical advantages, e.g., in proposals
preparation, evaluations, cooperation
among projects, ...
• Commission will recognise (endorse?)
the value
• Public recognitions...
– Public Best Innovator Certificate
– Hall of Fame?
••• 49

50. 4. Future Technologies for
FInES
ICTs are not our core research
interest, but we rely on them to
achieve the sought FInES. Key tech:

• Easy to use online tools, for wide
social participation
• Strong endorsement of the
Commissions
• Role of FInES Project, actively
contributing and positioning on the RR
• Adoption of the FInES Glossary in
Project Proposals and DoWs
• Adoption of FInES Glossary by
