New Ways to Work 2000European TeleworkMiddle East Technical University06531 Ankara, TurkeyFax: +90-312-210 1259Email: Asuman@srdc.metu.edu.trURL:http://www.srdc.metu.edu.tr/mariflow/MAST Managers in Support of Teleworking ADAPT InitiativeAimed at SME managers, the project is producing training and methodological support packages to encourage andhelp Irish companies make more extensive use of teleworking. It is led by the Work Research Centre Ltd. (WRC), aresearch, consultancy and training organisation specialising in the impact of new technologies on working life andsociety in general, and health at work. Its first priority is to address three key issues – the lack of awareness about therealities of teleworking, the lack of knowledge about how to implement and manage it, and the lack of techniques forovercoming these difficulties. An appropriate package of tools and services is then being developed. The consortiumincludes Forbairt, the Irish national development agency, the National College of Ireland, Telecom Eireann, theInstitute of Personnel Management and the Irish Institute of Training and Development. The transnationalpartnership involves German and Greek projects.Project period: February 1998 – December 1999.Contact:Work Research Centre Ltd.1 Greenlea DriveTerenureDublin 6W, IrelandRichard WynneTel.: +353.1/492-7042Fax: +353.1/492-7046E-mail: 100140,1053@compuserve.comE-mail: mt.fanning@wrc-research.ieMOTION Mobile Teamwork Infrastructure for Organisations Networking IST ProgrammeMOTION will design, develop and validate a novel multi-service business architecture to support teamwork withindistributed enterprises. Manufacturing companies increasingly need geographically distributed product development:products are built up of components developed by units located in different cities or countries. MOTION addressesthis need with the objective of developing and validating a multi-service business architecture for supporting TeamWork and distributed working methods, both for cooperative product design and for business management. Theproject will: define a novel, distributed communication services infrastructure; identify and develop a core set ofservices based on such infrastructure; use such core set of services to build up two specific business applications. Thearchitecture will allow end-users to implement new methods of working and achieve business process improvementsin terms of improved product design, improved productivity and reduced time to market. Based on distributed objecttechnology standards, it will integrate intelligent and mobile agents, information push and event-basedcommunication. These will be used in the context of a global information infrastructure supporting mobile workingthrough the integration of hand-held devices. Such techniques will allow configuring and operating a consistent set ofTeam Work Assistants required in the different sites of an application and supporting engineering teams workingacross the sites in a variety of tasks. MOTION will validate the achieved end products in two industrial environments:household appliances and mobile phones production.Project period: January 2000 – July 2002.Contact:Softeco Sismat SpAVico San Barborino 7/82I-16149 Genova, ItalyMarco BoeroTel.: +39-10 6026329Fax: +39-10 6026350E-mail: marco.boero@softeco.itMtoM3d Made-to-measure garments 2D/3D approach INCO-DC ProgrammeMtoM3D is an international research project with the objective to increase the market and the value of the apparelproducts made in Developing Countries. This is reached by enhancing the offer to the plus-size sector, which isconsiderable in Europe and North America.The aim of the project is to offer a new method for fitted garment production especially for plus size people. Theproject develops a system dedicated to evaluating measurements from a standard reference and to computingcorresponding alteration sets for garments directly from a set of physical mannequins defining different anatomicalconformations, according to, and controlled by our state of knowledge. Elements will be integrated in order toevaluate alterations to apply to the 2D patterns of the standard size garment, mounted and displayed on a plus sizemannequin. The vertical balance of the garment influenced by the mannequin volume will be studied on a set ofmannequins defining different anatomical conformations. Fabric mechanical properties will be utilized in order tosimulate fabric behaviour, especially the draping effects caused by the mannequin volume and the constraints due to- 178 -
New Ways to Work 2000European Teleworkthe assembly of the garment pieces. A criterion describing vertical balance will be investigated and used for thecomputation of these alterations.In conclusion the proposed method consists of:the use of the 3D model of a plus size mannequin to produce a first alteration of the 2D patterns, coming from astandard size ones; the 3D synthetic mounting of the garment on the 3D plus size mannequin; the computation of thecriterion of vertical balance from the 3D shape of the computed garment; the computation of new alterationscorresponding to the optimisation of this criterion.Project period: November 1997 – December 1999Contact:INRIA,Domaine de Voluceau, B.P. 105F-78153 Le Chesnay Cedex, FranceMULTIPROA Publishing and Management System for Cross-media Teamworkat Remote, Mobile and Heterogeneous Workplaces in MultimediaBroadcast OrganisationsAndré GagalowiczE-mail: Andre.Gagalowicz@inria.frURL:http://www.ercim.org/MtoM3D/index.htmlIST ProgrammeThe MULTIPRO project is concerned with digital media archive technologies and asset management systems for theTV industry. It will deliver technologies necessary for the evolution from digital television production towards thecollaborative production of cross-media and web services. These will enable teamworking and more effective remotecollaboration between in-house and out-sourced production, including distributed information management acrossdifferent time zones and in real-time, event-related crossmedia editing and production. The project will develop adistributed management system for rich media services (video, audio, text/graphics) based on (1) an enhanced mediaarchive system, (2) a crossmedia glueware / broadband personalisation tool, (3) an automated content audiomanagement tool for distributed audio archives. These will be applied in (1) cross-media, mobile, teamwork basedworkplace publishing, (2) multi-disciplinary team publishing for personalised broadband, (3) heterogeneouscrossmedia content publishing.Project period: January 2000 – December 2001Contact:Sender Freies Berlin: Redaktion KontrasteMasurenallee 8-14D-14057 Berlin, GermanyAnke GaiserTel.: +49-30 3031 2687Fax: +49-30 30315049E-mail: anke.gaiser@sfb.beNET-TELEMED European network on tele-medicineADAPT InitiativeThe project implements a tele-medicine structure and a Clinical Information System (CIS) within a private hospitaland it begins a continuing training system for the personnel (technical, medical and nursing) to guarantee the qualityof the service offered to patients.Using the system, a strong co-operation is developed, between the hospital and other modern medical centresthroughout Italy, and Europe (test-bed for on-line consultation). The project establishes an innovative system of telemedicinefor patient assistance through a computer-based system and qualified personnel. The training action planfor, is one of the major aspects of the project, and provides all of the personnel in charge of hospital services with thenecessary technological know-how and practices. The project also attempts to accelerate the development of new tasksand activities, such as tele-doctors.Project period: March 1998 – April 2000Contact:Casa di Cura Noto – PasqualinoVia Dante, 330I–90100 Palermo, ItalyClinica MotoTel.: +39-91-6841753Fax: +39-91-6822449E-mail: telemed@siade.comNOTE A project developing virtual office facilities ESPRIT ProgrammeProject developing and testing technologies supporting virtual office applications for mobile workers.Project period: June 1998 – June 2000Contact:Thomson-CSF Communications,FranceRigobert FokaE-mail:rigobert.foka@tcc.thomson-csf.comURL: http://www.telecom.ntua.gr/note/IST ProgrammeOSMOS Open System for Inter-enterprise Information Management inDynamic Virtual EnvironmentsThe OSMOS project will enhance the capabilities of construction enterprises, including SMEs, to act and collaborateeffectively on projects by setting up and promoting value-added Internet-based flexible services that support team- 179 -
