Collaboration environment requirements

□ Security
□ fine grained role based access control (RBAC)
□ Simplicity
□ integration with current applications, work practices !!
□ Stability & Standards
□ open data and ICT standards
□ Scalable service orientation architecture
□ well accepted architecture (Web/Grid Services)
□ Semantics
□ must support rich, domain specific semantics


Virtual organisation
“a temporary collaboration to exploit a
business opportunity (with each business
transaction being performed by a
collaborating legal entity)”


Virtual organisation research

□ 30+ projects in FP5 IST: Most projects developed their
own ontologies and prototype platforms.
□ In other words: the VO interoperability problem has been made worse
by R&D so far.
□ Growing expectation in the VO community:
□ Collaborative ICT infrastructure needs to become embedded in the
standard Internet infrastructure


Construction process is fragmented

Building Information Model (BIM)

□ Addresses the following core assumptions about the
building process:
□ Design evolves from the “fuzzy” to the specific.
□ Design is an iterative process.
□ Multiple design variations are created in the early phases of a project.
□ Architects do not want limitations either in the form or the size of the
design.
□ Architects would like to spend more time designing and less time
documenting.
□ Communication is an essential component of the design process.
□ Is supported by many software vendors
□ Interoperability issues

Lessons learned / issues

□ User context is the key issue:
□ different roles depending on the project stage
□ multiple project at the time
□ integration of existing application
□ ...
□ Semantic description enables plug-and-play collaboration
environment
□ Registration of available VO resources – can we do
without it?
□ Is P2P more suited for dynamic virtual organisations?


Grid technology adoption

Hyped technologies for 2006: Gartner tips Web 2.0 for the trough, http://www.out-law.com/page-7183

BIM adoption barriers

□ The need for well-defined transactional business process
models
□ The requirement that digital design data be computable
□ The need for well-developed practical strategies for the
purposeful exchange of meaningful information between
the many tools applied to industry processes today.
