information systems for Enterprise Integration interoperability and networking theory and applications
Enterprise Information Systems, 2013Co-Authors: Hervé Panetto, J CecilAbstract:Today, Enterprises can be characterized by various key facets: globalization, distributed manufacturing, data and knowledge management, advanced automation and robotics, virtual engineering, rapid response to market and more. In today's competitive economy, Enterprises need collaborating using Information Technology (IT) and other tools to succeed in this dynamic and heterogeneous business environment. Enterprise Integration, interoperability and networking are some of the major disciplines that are enabling companies to improve collaboration and communication in the most effective way. In this direction, the Enterprise information systems engineering process aims to develop information systems to respond to increasingly complex objectives, to align these information systems with business goals and processes of the company, or simply to adapt and improve them when facing given requirements or rapidly changing opportunities. As Enterprise information systems models become more ubiquitous, the sharing of best-in-class models becomes more desirable. Interoperability between dissimilar systems in sharing information is important, but other aspects are also required in the sharing of Enterprise systems knowledge. First, this process is based on the need for collaboration, sharing and mutual understanding of the needs of each stakeholder i.e. each persons involved or affected by the future information system, at each stage of its development. Second, this process follows principles which highlight the need for formal semantics definition of these models to facilitate this work, at various abstraction levels ranging from specification to implementation on site. There is a need to also couple new theoretical results with applied methods and tools supporting existing business reconfiguration and transformation both locally and globally. In this editorial, we reflect on the current and future theory and applications that would further empower networked Enterprises by means of collaborative information systems.

2011Co-Authors: Hervé Panetto, J Cecil, Li QingAbstract:After the successful Fifth edition in 2010, the sixth edition of the Enterprise Integration, Interoperability and Networking workshop (EI2N'2011) has been organised as part of the OTM'2011 Federated Conferences and is supported by the IFAC Technical Committee 5.3 "Enterprise Integration and Networking", the IFIP TC 8 WG 8.1 "Design and Evaluation of Information Systems", the SIG INTEROP Grande-Region on "Enterprise Systems Interoperability" and the French CNRS National Research Group GDR MACS. This year, the workshop is being held with the First International NSF Workshop on Information Centric Engineering (ICE) and Cybertechnologies. Collaboration is necessary for Enterprises to prosper in the current extreme dynamic and heterogeneous business environment. Enterprise Integration, interoperability and networking are the major disciplines that have studied how to do companies to collaborate and communicate in the most effective way. These disciplines are well-established and are supported by international conferences, initiatives, groups, task forces and governmental projects all over the world where different domains of knowledge have been considered from different points of views and a variety of objectives (e.g., technological or managerial). Enterprise Integration involves breaking down organizational barriers to improve synergy within the Enterprise so that business goals are achieved in a more productive and efficient way. The past decade of Enterprise Integration research and industrial implementation has seen the emergence of important new areas, such as research into interoperability and networking, which involve breaking down organizational barriers to improve synergy within the Enterprise and among Enterprises. The ambition to achieve dynamic, efficient and effective cooperation of Enterprises within networks of companies, or in an entire industry sector, requires the improvement of existing, or the development of new, theories and technologies. Enterprise Modelling, Architecture, and semantic techniques are the pillars supporting the achievement of Enterprise Integration and Interoperability. Internet of Things and Cloud Computing now present new opportunities to realize inter Enterprise and intra Enterprise Integration. For these reasons, the workshop's objective is to foster discussions among representatives of these neighbouring disciplines and to discover new research paths within the Enterprise Integration community. After peer reviews, 9 papers have been accepted out of 20 submissions to this workshop. Paper presentation by leading experts on ICE related topics as well group discussions which will identify a roadmap for the future were an important and unique aspect of this year's joint EI2N and NSF ICE workshop. Niky Riga, a Network Scientist at Raytheon BBN Technologies and GENI (NSF Global Environment for Network Innovations) Project Office has been invited as EI2N+NSF ICE plenary keynote on "GENI - Global Environment for Network Innovations". She introduced GENI through a couple of example use-cases; she reviewed as well the growing suite of infrastructure and evolving control frameworks. She also presented previous and current experiments running in GENI. In addition to the presentations of the accepted papers, groups have been organised into what E2IN traditionally calls "workshop cafes", to discuss and debate the presented topics. This year discussions focused around "Information centric engineering and interoperability issues" as it applies to emerging engineering and other domains. The outcomes of these respective discussions are reported during a plenary session jointly organized with the CoopIS'2011 and the OTM Industry Case Studies Program, in order to share the vision for future research with other conference attendees. The papers published in this volume of proceedings present samples of current research in the Enterprise modelling, systems interoperability, services management, cloud Integration and, more globally, systems engineering and Enterprise architecture domains. Some new architecting principles that has gained currency in the recent past include semantic techniques and frameworks, service oriented architectures, virtual engineering and cloud computing with their principles, reference models and technology; such frameworks and principles hold the potential to be important contributors to the future of interoperable, networked and collaborative Enterprises.

developing rule enhanced dynamic virtual Enterprise Integration frameworks
Computer and Information Technology, 2008Co-Authors: Gang Chen, Jing Bing Zhang, Zhonghua Yang, David ChenAbstract:This paper considers a service-oriented architecture for Enterprise Integration and collaboration using semantic Web service technologies. A hierarchically-structured software system has been designed and developed in order to address the challenge of dynamic service composition. In comparison with existing service composers, the description of each Web service in our system is enhanced with domain-specific semantics and the essential business logic behind the service interface is further described and processed via the business rules technology. A PC manufacturing prototyping system is explored in this paper to demonstrate the practicality of our service composition system.

dynamic virtual Enterprise Integration via business rule enhanced semantic service composition framework
Conference on Industrial Electronics and Applications, 2008Co-Authors: Gang Chen, Jing Bing Zhang, Zhonghua Yang, David ChenAbstract:Effective collaboration is crucial to the success of collaborative virtual Enterprise (CVE), an emerging business paradigm driven by the increasing trend of globalization. In this paper, we adopt a service-oriented architecture for Enterprise Integration and collaboration based on Web service standards. In order to tackle the technical challenge associated with the dynamic formation of business workflows, a service composition framework is presented and analyzed in this paper. Comparing with existing composition systems, our framework enjoys two major improvements: (1) the description of each Web service is enhanced with rule-based modeling of the essential business logic behind the service interface; and (2) the divide-and-conquer strategy is explored in our framework to handle complex service composition tasks through a hierarchical composition architecture. A PC manufacturing prototyping system further presents a concrete demonstration of our framework in practical applications.

2010Co-Authors: Hervé Panetto, Li Qing, Giuseppe Berio, Kemafor AnyanwuAbstract:After the successful fourth edition in 2009, the fifth edition of the Enterprise Integration, Interoperability and Networking workshop (EI2N'2010) has been organised as part of the OTM'2010 Federated Conferences and is supported by the IFAC Technical Committee 5.3 "Enterprise Integration and Networking", the IFIP TC 8 WG 8.1 "Design and Evaluation of Information Systems", the SIG INTEROP Grande-Region on "Enterprise Systems Interoperability" and the French CNRS National Research Group GDR MACS. Collaboration is necessary for Enterprises to prosper in the current extreme dynamic and heterogeneous business environment. Enterprise Integration, interoperability and networking are the major disciplines that have studied how to do companies to collaborate and communicate in the most effective way. These disciplines are well-established and are supported by international conferences, initiatives, groups, task forces and governmental projects all over the world where different domains of knowledge have been considered from different points of views and a variety of objectives (e.g., technological or managerial). Enterprise Integration involves breaking down organizational barriers to improve synergy within the Enterprise so that business goals are achieved in a more productive and efficient way. The past decade of Enterprise Integration research and industrial implementation has seen the emergence of important new areas, such as research into interoperability and networking, which involve breaking down organizational barriers to improve synergy within the Enterprise and among Enterprises. The ambition to achieve dynamic, efficient and effective cooperation of Enterprises within networks of companies, or in an entire industry sector, requires the improvement of existing, or the development of new, theories and technologies. Enterprise Modelling, Architecture, and semantic techniques are the pillars supporting the achievement of Enterprise Integration and Interoperability. Internet of Things and Cloud Computing now present new opportunities to realize inter Enterprise and intra Enterprise Integration. For these reasons, the workshop's objective is to foster discussions among representatives of these neighbouring disciplines and to discover new research paths within the Enterprise Integration community. After peer reviews, 6 papers have been accepted out of 12 submissions to this workshop. Prof. Michael Sobolewski (Polish-Japanese Institute of IT, Poland) has been invited as EI2N plenary keynote on "Exerted Enterprise Computing: from Protocol-oriented Networking to Exertion-oriented Networking". In addition to the presentations of the accepted papers, groups have been organised into what E2IN traditionally calls "workshop cafes", to discuss and debate the presented topics. This year discussion enabled putting forward new research related to "interoperability issues in collaborative information systems". These groups reported the results of the respective discussions during a plenary session that was jointly organised with the CoopIS'2010 conference, in order to share the vision for future research on this top domain. The papers published in this volume of proceedings present samples of current research in the Enterprise modelling, systems interoperability, services management, cloud Integration and, more globally, systems engineering and Enterprise architecture domains. Some new architecting principles that has gained currency in the recent past is semantic technique, service oriented architecture and cloud computing with their principles, reference models and technology, and if applied correctly can be an important contributor to the future of interoperable, networked and collaborative Enterprises. The success of this complex field also depends on the maturity and coherency of the management of the involved Enterprises, a topic covered by the second workshop cafe. As a special track of EI2N'2010, SeDeS'2010 is the first international workshop on Semantics & Decision Support. The call for papers saw 12 submissions, among which the Programme Committee has selected 4 papers to be presented at EI2N'2010. The selected papers cover the topics of ontology-based decision making applications in the fields of eGovernment, eLearning, business rule management and Human Resource Management.

using the zachman framework to achieve Enterprise Integration based on business process driven modelling
OTM '08 Proceedings of the OTM Confederated International Workshops and Posters on On the Move to Meaningful Internet Systems: 2008 Workshops: ADI AWe, 2008Co-Authors: Javier Espadas, David Romero, David Concha, Arturo MolinaAbstract:Enterprise interoperability enables the access to relevant information within an Enterprise. Traditionally, Enterprise Integration implementations are managed as merely technological solutions, but Integration requirements outcome from business process needs, such as just-in-time information and Integration with strategic partners. Without a business process driven methodology that comprises both technical and behavioural views, Enterprise Integration projects are prone to failure. This paper proposes a business process driven modelling approach for Enterprise Integration using the Zachman framework to build the Enterprise architecture interoperability. The most important model of the Enterprise architecture in this proposal is the business process level and its relationships with other architectural model levels.

Enterprise Integration and interoperability in manufacturing systems trends and issues
Computers in Industry, 2008Co-Authors: Hervé Panetto, Arturo MolinaAbstract:Recent advances in information and communication technologies have allowed manufacturing Enterprise to move from highly data-driven environments to a more cooperative information/knowledge-driven environment. Enterprise knowledge sharing (know-how), common best practices use, and open source/web based applications are enabling to achieve the concept of integrated Enterprise and hence the implementation and interoperability of networked Enterprises. Enterprise Integration and interoperability in manufacturing systems is a key concept to face the challenges of these new environments. This paper describes challenges, trends and issues that must be addressed in order to support the generation of new technological solutions.
