Some Conclusions from Workshop on Grid based Virtual Organisations & collaborative e-Enterprise Applications • Grid is the architecture for the future networked e-Enterprise Applications • VOs are set up by dynamic fluid self-federating ‘entities’ linked by webs of trust and framework contracts • Need to understand how to use the Grid to better enable VOs • Need to understand what new facilities are needed in the Grid to better enable VOs • 'Real-world' 'off-Grid' examples need to be used as baseline (VOs exist without the Grid) • Human Factors are important: VOs must have value and involve people, whatever technology is used • Different industrial sectors have synergetic requirements for future industrial strength “Grid-based Virtual Work Spaces” supporting their collaborative shared/integrated e-Enterprise Applications • Potential lead sectors with complementary strengths shape up • aeronautics, satellite/space, automotive, financial markets & e-banking, media publishing, bio-molecular & chemical engineering, logistics, utility & process industries,...
Some Conclusions from Workshop on Grid based Virtual Organisations & collaborative e-Enterprise Applications • Significant research ahead: • generic business models understanding and typical customer centric use cases (short term) • large multidisciplinary engineering & design environments building on CSCW, CE (CAD/CAM), PSE, VR, distributed DBMS, etc, with advanced functionality, e.g. distributed interactive application steering (medium term) • Intelligent autonomic policy driven identity, membership & security mechanisms for collaborative agreements and business contracts management (medium to long term) • Semantics, self-learning, self-adaptability and reconfiguration capabilities (long term) • Virtual machine, virtual factory, virtual operational services delivery across security domains and partners’ supply chain (long term)
