Enterprises in 2015

What will enterprises look like in 2015? What information and communication technologies will they use?

Projects launched under ICT WP 2009-10 are expected to have an impact on the markets around 2015. By then, ICT infrastructures and market structures should be gone through a revolutionary transformation.

In the sky of enterprises, are Clouds just bringing on a sudden storm or will they be permanent weather components? How secure will the enterprise environments be by then? Will we work in self-healing collaborative networks or will malware evolve along and give us different kinds of headaches? Will green IT drive strategic decisions of enterprises? Is open source a catalyst for promoting European software and services industries and will it still be relevant in 2015?

We'll bring research fellows and industry experts together and try to better connect the output of EU research with the requirements of industry, and explore what enterprises will look like in 2015 in terms of ICT.

EI Cluster Meeting Notes - Brussels, 19 June 2008

Introduction, Cristina Martinez

This is a transition year, in that the new FP7 Work Programme is in preparation, and will lead to a new structure of call content.

Service oriented work is likely to come in the Software & Services heading.

Interoperability is likely to fall under Future Internet

Enterprise Interoperability

Proposal: TEPECS Trans-European
Personal Ehealth Products and Services for ageing persons

Objective 1.4: ICT for ageing well with
cognitive problems, combining assistive and independent living
technologies
*Funding instrument:* Pilot B - it is intended to
support several pilot actions

The objective is to
significantly improve quality of life and social care for the ageing
population by combining assistive technologies to compensate for
cognitive problems or mild dementia with independent living
platforms, specifying and demonstrating the resulting innovative ICT
enabled products and services.

Solutions should provide
cognitive training, activation and reinforcement for the elderly as
well as support to their day-to-day activities and social
interactions. This should result in a substantial prolongation of the
time they can continue to be at home rather than in an institution

The pilots should be clearly demand driven and build
on public-private partnerships. It should
bring together a set of
regional actions addressing the above goals and involve relevant

stakeholders such as care service providers, housing corporations
and insurance organisations.
A strong involvement of users and
their representatives, their families and carers, is expected
to
ensure end-user acceptance and uptake.

In the context of preparing the Work Program for the period of 2009-2010 of 7th Framework program of EU funded R&D the DG Information Society and Media http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/ict/netmedia/ organises an one day open workshop of all interested sector actors with the aim to define R&D challenges addressing the networked media sector (Objective ICT-2007.1.5 of the ICT FP7 Work Programme 2007-08) ftp://ftp.cordis.lu/pub/fp7/ict/docs/ict-wp-2007-08_en.pdf needs and EU priorities for collaborative research projects in the 7th framework program. The workshop will take place at Brussels on 29 January, 2008

http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/ict/netmedia/neweve/c200801/c200801_en.html

At the same time an on-line consultation of all interested sector actors is launched on the future research priorities in the Networked Media research area

OW2 is a global open-source software community which mission is to develop open source code middleware and to foster a vibrant community and business ecosystem.

OW2 Members cooperate in the development of open-source distributed middleware, in the form of flexible and adaptable components. OW2 osters a common technical architecture to be shared by its members and to facilitate the implementation of its technology by systems integrators and end-users. OW2 developments follow a component-based approach. OW2 hosts over one hundred technology Projects, ranging from specific software frameworks and protocols to integrated platforms. They include for example Lomboz, Sync4j, eXo Platorm, XWiki, SpagoBI and JOnAS. Several of these projects are combined into market-driven Initiatives, such as the ESB/SOA Initiative and the Business Intelligence Initiative, which facilitate their implementation by systems integrators,

The consortium is an independent non-profit organization open to companies, institutions and individuals. OW2 federates more than one hundred organizations and 6000 developers in Europe, Asia and the Americas. OEMs and end-users. A typical global open-source organization, OW2 aims to bring together grassroots communities across all continents through Local Chapters. OW2 is committed to growing a community of open source code developers. In the open source software value chain, OW2 is positioned as an industry platform facilitating interaction between open source code Producers and open source code Consumers

Our initial list of partners needs to be improved adding relevant stakeholders. I sent this email to invite FIDIS, PRIME, GUIDE project'coordinators. Could you do the same on the ETPs, OSOR/IDABC,        EBN/eBSN, etc.

Dear all PRIVACY experts,

With the present the core-team - 10 SMEs and Universities - of the proposal SYMPHONY.TN would like to invite you to consider your participation, as relevant stakeholders, in the EU CIP ICT-PSP call of 23Oct07 (-14d) in a Thematic Network to build a European cross-sectoral and horizontal platform concern Privacy in eServices in Europe, bringing together the relevant stakeholders, supports Public - private interactions, experience sharing, raising synergies and consensus building
