"FP6-2004-IST-ATH-B5 ATHENA (Advanced Technologies for Interoperability of Heterogeneous Enterprise Networks and their Applications) subproject B5.10 Validation Testing: Inventory Visibility" FOS Sub-projects presentation Marija Jankovic Faculty of Organisational Sciencies 16 October 2008, Belgrade
Agenda • About ATHENA project • About FOS sub-projects • Results • Plans for future FP7 projects
ATHENA Fact Sheet • Founded by the European Commission (Budget: 26.5 Mio€) • Duratation: 3 Years • Strategic Objective: Network Businesses and Goverments • Vision: By 2010, enterprises will be able to seamlessly interoperate with others • Objective: Contribution to enabling enterprises to seamlessly interoperate with others
Our Sub-project Consortium • AIAG*, Automotive Industry Action Group, USA • NIST, National Institute of Standards and Technology, USA • KorBIT, Korean B2B Interoperability Testbed • FOS*, Faculty of Organisational Sciences • Industry participants (e.g., Ford Motor co., General Motors Corp.,) * AIAG anb FOS were ATHENA IP Contractors
FOS Sub-projects (1) ATHENA B5.10 Sub-Project: Inventory Visibility and InteroperabilityEnterprise Modelling Area (A1) Results Validation Team members: • Prof. dr Zoran Marjanovic, FOS • Dr Nenad Ivezic, NIST • Thomas Knothe, Fraunhofer IPK, Berlin • Mr Marija Jankovic, FOS
Overview • Problem area and research objectives • Introduction to POP* metamodel • Supporting architecture • Research approach • Applied solution
Problem area and validation objectives • To validate that is possible to exchange models between different EM tools using ATHENA specific solutions: • - POP*(Proces, Organisation, Product and Other) metamodel • - MPCE (Modeling Platform for Collaborative Enterprises) • To formalize horizontal interoperability of enterprise models

FOS Sub-projects (2) ATHENA B5.10 Sub-Project: FOS IV&I tool – An Open Source, Experimental Inventory Visibility Tool development Team members: • Prof. dr Zoran Marjanovic, FOS • Dr Nenad Ivezic, NIST • Zoran Kokovic, FOS • Vuk Ljubicic, FOS • Igor Miletic, Breza Software Engineering • Marko Vujasinovic, Breza Software Engineering
Overview • Research objectives • IV&I non-functional specification • IV&I eKanban application specification • Activity flow diagrams • System sequnce diagrams • IV&I tool main implementation characteristics • IV&I tool architecture • Implementation enviromnent • IV&I tool user interface
IV&I non-functional specification • Monitoring statuses of Kanbans • Creating 4 Types of Business Object Documents • Translating BODs into RDF Format using DO • Sending messages to other IV&I tools • Message validation • Special mechanisms for finding domain entities and for automatic error reporting • Plenty of standard IV functionalities
IV&I toolarchitecture WS Interface Business Component XML / RDF Adapter Apolon Web Client Messaging Database
Results: Validation Pilot Demo • Results were previewed at: • the AIAG Enterprise Interoperability Showcase: ATHENA Validation Pilot Demonstration (November 15, 2006., Detroit) • and later at the Final Project Review during the IESA 2007 Conference in Madeira, Portugal in March
Results: Validation Pilot Demo • FOS IV application (running in Belgrade, Serbia) successfully exchanged information with the Ford Test Harmes (running in Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA) • Both GM and FOS applications used the NIST-developed Gateway
Results: Validation Pilot Demo Our validation pilot demonstrations • were seen as very helpful to understand the ATHENA concepts • In the Commission’s feedback for the Final Review was recommended to use the AIAG demo as an example to disseminate ATHENA technology …..”to tell the ATHENA story”…..
Results: Contacts • Further cooperation with ATHENA partners • NIST, USA • Fraunhofer IPK, Berlin • University of Athens, Greece…. • More than 15 published papers in the leading international magazines and conferences • exchange of knowledge and experiences by means of seminars and visiting lecturers • Students exchange • Meetings in order to discuss possibilities for new FP7 Projects
FP7 Project application • Programme “Research for SMEs” – Call ID “FP7-SME-2008-1” • Proposal N 232465 – NEXT • Proposal title: “Next – Generation Interoperability for IT SMEs”
FP7 Project application • The consortium comprises IT SMEs and Research Centers from 4 different countries: • National Technical University of Athens, Greece • Fraunhofer FOKUS, Germany • Technical University, Middle Eastern, Turkey • Faculty of Organisational Sciences, Serbia
