New Ways to Work 2000European Teleworksystematically apply Concurrent Engineering and Co-design techniques, duly supported by new specially-conceivedsoftware.Project period: October 1997- March 2000Contact:DemoCenter s.c.a r.l.ItalyOrFundación TeknikerAvda.

Theproject aims to develop the following:• a detailed architecture which addresses the questions involved with cross-organisational workflow.• a framework for describing service contracts in specific application areas such as insurance related services andparcel delivery. This framework should enable the dynamic match-making of service contract offers and requests.• tools for setting up the link between the WfMSs of the two organisations. This will include tools for derivingcomponents which are needed to ensure that the service contract is properly enacted. An example of such componentsare gateways which control and monitor the interactions, and translate the passing information from an internal to anexternal form and vice versa. Tools which can supervise the process of linking the two organisations and allocatingthe appropriate resources will also have to be provided.• extensions of the current facilities in WfMSs to provide non-functional guarantees specified in the servicecontract such as:monitoring of out-sourced tasks: to provide information about out-sourced task progress, resources consumed andquality of service.• level of control of out-sourced tasks: to allow a client to abort or to roll back an out-sourced task and compensatefor actions already taken where necessary.• change control of out-sourced tasks: to allow the modification of tasks after their dispatching.Where appropriate, the results of the project will be proposed as open standards to standardisation bodies and WfMSvendors such as SWAP, Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC), and OMG. A publicly available demonstrationof the deployment of the solution in a specific application area.Project period: September 1998 – September 2000Contact:CER IBM France - S3228 / BP43F-06610 La Gaude, FranceJacques Saint-Blancat,Tel: (0)492 11 4719 //Fax: (0)493 24 4545E-mail: jsb@fr.ibm.comURL: http://www.crossflow.orgIST ProgrammeDIVERCITY Distributed Virtual Workspace for Enhancing Communicationwithin the Construction IndustryThe project primarily addresses Workplace Design by developing, integrating and evaluating innovative workplacetechnologies for creating innovative and new workplace environments in the building industry sector. It aims toimprove the process of building design and construction by enabling the user groups to operate both more efficientlyand with better interaction. The project addresses the three key building construction phases: Client-Briefing, whichrequires detailed interaction with the client; Design Review, which requires detailed input from multidisciplinaryteams of architects, engineers, and designers; and Construction, whose function is to fabricate and/or refurbish thebuilding/s. The objective is to produce a prototype virtual workspace that will enable the three key phases to bevisualised and manipulated, thus enabling better design and planning through greater interaction between allstakeholders. This will result in improved productivity and design; lower building costs with reduced waste, andimproved safety both in the final building and also the construction process. The key milestones are the developmentof three modules for construction workspaces and their integration into the prototype system.Project period: January 2000 – July 2002Contact:Construct IT for Business, University of Salford,Bridgewater BuildingMarjan SarsharTel.: +44 161 295 5317Fax: +44 161 295 5011- 168 -
New Ways to Work 2000European TeleworkM7 9NU Salford, United KingdomE-mail:m.sarschar@salford.ac.ukDYNOCA A System to Realise Dynamic Networked Organisations on IST ProgrammeHeterogeneous Networks in the Consultancy/Agency SectorThe project will support distributed working teams (in different cultural areas and time zones) in planning andexecuting media projects in the consulting/agency sector combining: customer, main contractor, sub-contractors andsuppliers. The work includes the development of organisation and software models and the implementation andevaluation of a software system within a real case scenario. This system will be extended using emerging Internetstandards to realise inter-organisational information flow and management by a rapid prototyping approach.The objectives is to enable European SMEs to increase their competitiveness in the global marketplace, specificallyfor the consultancy/agency sector by overcoming constraints in working methods and organisation imposed bydistance and time. The project will also develop reference models for inter-organisational business processes andsoftware for project life-cycle in media/design and consultancy. The work is broken down into 6 work packages:Requirements analysis and consolidation; Development of reference models and pilot scenarios; Specification andimplementation of prototype systems based emerging standards (XML, digital signatures, SSL secure transmission,Java Beans, Jini); Piloting of prototypes in real case pilot scenarios; Exploitation and Dissemination, through theWorld Wide Web and scientific journals, conferences, and workshops; and Project Management for quality control.Project period: January 2000 – December 2001Contact:Artundweise Beckmann GmbHHumboldstr. 30/32D-28203 Bremen, GermanyDirck BeckmannTel.: +49 421 791 779Fax: +49 421 791 7777E-mail: beckmann@cyte.deECaTT Electronic Commerce and Telework Trends Esprit ProgrammeBenchmarking Progress on New Ways of Working and New Forms of Business across Europe.The ECaTT project is designed to generate representative information on the current prevalence and spread ofelectronic commerce and new forms of work among the European workforce together with an up-to-date compilationof major practices, projects and schemes across Europe. The aims of ECaTT are to: make available representative,reliable and comparable data and information on the diffusion of new ways of working (telework) and electroniccommerce, categorised according to main EU countries, sector, size of establishment, types of employees and types ofhousehold, etc; develop an inventory of service provision and demand factors of electronic commerce on arepresentative, empirical basis, which can be updated regularly, so that current data relating to level of knowledge,practice, interest and potential of the different forms of electronic commerce and new ways of working can be madeavailable; carry out a representative analysis of current obstacles to electronic commerce and telework from theviewpoint of decision makers in business; produce an analysis of the potential of electronic commerce and teleworkwith projections of developments to the year 2005; carry out a comparison between developments in Europe and inthe USA which in many respects are looked upon as the leaders in the fields of electronic commerce and telework;derive an understanding of conditions for the diffusion of electronic commerce and telework, which can be influencedby political or business action, while taking the differences between countries into consideration.ECaTT was conceived as an ”observatory project” which should be repeated annually in order to give reliable trendinformation together with a regularly updated market overview. Overall ECaTT will provide a unique statistical basison the penetration, potential and trends in new forms of working and business (electronic commerce). Theinformation base will enable decision makers in government and the economy to benchmark achievements betweendifferent European regions and countries, with the future ability to reference a significant time period, and to makecomparisons with the US and Japan, competing world economies.Project period: September 1998 – April 2000Contact:Empirica Gesellschaft für Kommunikations- undTechnologieforschung mbHOxfordstraße 2D-53111 Bonn, GermanyWerner KorteTel.: +49-228-98 530-0Fax: +49-228-98 530-12Email: werner.korte@empirica.comURL: http://www.empirica.comIST ProgrammeE-COLLEG Advanced Infrastructure for Pan-European CollaborativeEngineeringE-Colleg will make use of enabling technologies (e.g. Jini, CORBA, RMI) for collaborative engineering based onadvanced infrastructures.
