New Ways to Work 2000European Teleworkindependent services for dynamic configuration of infrastructure with secure access management for distributedteams, services and data, to support multi-site and multi-platform and dynamic tool integration on the basis of novelagent technology. It is further intended to demonstrate the feasibility of this approach through pan-Europeancollaborative engineering showcases for image processing and telecommunication systems.The objectives of E-Colleg are: to provide enabling technology for collaborative engineering based on an advancedinfrastructure; to develop generic collaborative services, such as dynamic team building, that support the collaborativeexploration of design trade-offs involving multiple fields of expertise during the design of complex systems; todemonstrate feasibility of the pan-European collaborative engineering by development of two industrial applications;to augment existing integration technologies by scaleable, platform-independent services for dynamic configuration ofthe infrastructure; to handle security and access management for distributed teams, services and data; to provide asolution for multi-site and multi-platform tool integration; to develop a technique for dynamic tool integration basedon novel agent technology and to provide transparent data access by self-describing data formats based on Internetstandards such as XML.The final phase of the project will validate the extended infrastructure through its use in two distributed engineeringtasks. The results will be measured using the earlier defined metrics. The resulting infrastructure with its advancedservices will be able to support complex distributed engineering tasks.Project period: January 2000 - December 2002Contact:Thomson-CSF OPTRONIQUEBP 55, Rue GuynemerF-78283 Guyancourt, FranceXaxier WarzeeTel.: +33-1-30 96 71 52Fax: +33-1-30 96 72 31Email: xavier.warzee@tco.thomson-csf.comECOLNET European Collaboration Network IST ProgrammeWith the move towards globalisation of economies, many organisations choose to compete by merging or acquiringcompetitors in their particular markets or in upstream or downstream business processes. ECOLNET proposes tovalidate a different business strategy that is suited to independent European SMEs which have traditionally focussedon their national markets. This strategy develops the concept of collaboration through clustering of knowledgeprovided by different, independent organisations. Groups of European companies exploiting the ECOLNET conceptsand infrastructure will increase their market penetration through the creation of networks for co-operation andstrategic business alliances. They will exchange knowledge, resources and products, and will complement their offerand local market with their allied networked partners.ECOLNET will provide two concrete results to these actors: a model for building collaborative networks, andinformation systems to support exchange of business knowledge. The project will validate its model and ITinfrastructure in three Collaborative Networks: software and services allied companies, willing to exchange knowhowon software development, products, applications and even personnel; human resource consulting companies, inthe personnel placement/head-hunting market, wishing to exchange personnel and skills, and to complement theirbusiness opportunities; and the Object Management Group, an international organisation dedicated to the productionof open specifications for the development of distributed interoperable object component systems, wishing tostrengthen communication and collaboration between its associates.The project is divided into 3 phases: definition of the business model for companies working in a network,independently of their business sector; design and development of the system, integrating different components in aniterative way to produce intermediate results and assure relevance for the user organisations and validation in threeCollaborative Networks; testing of the effectiveness of ECOLNET, the information provided by the system, theusability of the tools developed to access and manage the information, and system performance.Project period: January 2000 - December 2001Contact:Ibermatica SAAvenida del Partenon 16-18E-28042 Madrid, SpainAna SegoviaTel.: +34-913 849 100Fax: +34-913 849 144Email: am.segovia@ibermatica.comIST ProgrammeEMERGENCE Estimation and mapping of employment relocation in a globaleconomy in the new communications environmentThe EMERGENCE project aims to provide reliable information both qualitative and quantitative, on delocalisedtelemediated work. An interdisciplinary team (plus associates in North America and Australasia) will carry out astatistical overview, develop analytical models, conduct an international survey and carry out comparative casestudies to map, quantify and forecast the new international division of labour in information processing. It will makerecommendations to official statistical bodies. It will dissemination information interactively, for use as a resource for- 170 -
New Ways to Work 2000European Teleworkresearch, benchmarking against global comparators, regional development, employment creation, equal opportunitiesand other policies.The work includes a critical overview of the changing division of labour ; an international survey of about 8000employers in 15 EU countries and 3 EU applicant countries, (with a further approx. 2,000 in North America andAustralasia) ; development of research instruments for comparative analysis of case studies in an internationalcontext ; 60 case studies of relocated telemediated employment, both in ‘source’ areas and ‘destination’ ones ;analysis of results, including their implications for social exclusion and marginalisation, for gender equality, forsupply and demand for skills and for regional development ; development of analytical models ; development ofeconomic development toolkit for use at a regional level ; development of an interrogable database and web-site fordissemination of results to researchers, social partners and policy makers, and a variety of other disseminationactivities including seminars, workshops and presentations.Project period: January 2000 – December 2002Contact:Institute for Employment StudiesMantel Building, University of SussexBN1 9RF, Brighton, United KingdomUrsula HuwsTel.: +44 1273 686751Fax: +44 1273 690430E-mail: analytica@dial.pipex.comEMICO Editeur Multimedia Interactif et Coopératif INCOA project developing and testing methods for localising training materials and courses from onelanguage/culture/environment to another.

The software system will support in a comprehensive and integrated way the entire range ofactivities, both within individual organisations and across the entire procurement chain involved in the 3 keyprocesses of: Tendering, Bidding and Contract Negotiation. It is a specific objective of E-NTRY to create a generictool, meeting the requirements of a wide range of Industry sectors: pilot Users are a tendering and a bidding companyfrom the Telecommunication Industry, but requirements and solutions will be generalised by E-NTRY IT partners toother sectors, and most notably to the Maritime Industry, Civil Construction and Public Administration. The projectwill exploit advanced technologies, and most notably XML, Java, workflow inter-operability and CORBAtechnologies.Project period: January 2000 – July 2001Contact:TXT Ingegneria InformaticaAdvance Information Systems DivisionVia Socrate 41I-20128 Milano, ItalyMr. Sergio GusmeroliTel.: +39 2 2577 1310Fax: +39 2 2578 994E-mail: gusmeroli@txt.itEpri-COM European Parliament Research Initiative Communicating with IST ProgrammeCEECEpri-COM has three major objectives:• to create awareness and inform Parliamentarians on Information Society issues and resarch in advancedcommunication technologies and services• to establish a truly trans-European information and communication service on the basis of a multimediainformation service for parliaments in the CEEC, the EU (EP and national parliaments) and the North AtlanticAssembly.
