Living Labs are an emerging Public Private Partnership (PPP) concept in which firms, public authorities and citizens work together to create, prototype, validate and test new services, businesses, markets and technologies in real-life contexts, such as cities, city regions, rural areas and collaborative virtual networks between public and private players. The real-life and everyday life contexts will both stimulate and challenge research and development as public authorities and citizens will not only participate in, but also contribute to the whole innovation process. This paper examines the state-of-the art in involving the user and stakeholder organisations into the innovation process in various ongoing, embryonic Living Labs initiatives, examines the key practices that need to be in place for the maturation of the concept and gives examples on how those are currently being deployed. The paper concludes with a section dedicated to identifying areas in which future research is required.

Wearable computing means a paradigm shift: instead of working at the computer users are supported by computing systems in their primary tasks. Thus wearable computing is ideal to develop new insight into the behaviour of the Concurrent Enterprise. Currently wearable computing is still a technology of niches and in a laboratory stage. However, with wearIT@work a project dedicated to applications was launched by the European Commission (EC IP 004216). The first 18 months of this project are over and demonstrators, evaluations and results are available. In this paper the concept of the project is briefly introduced and results are presented showing the impact of wearable computing for the Concurrent Enterprise. This impact is based on the cyclic and user centred design approach in developing the different pilot application demonstrators for the four application domains of maintenance, production, healthcare and emergency response.
可穿戴式计算意味着一种范式的转变:用户不再在电脑前工作,而是由计算系统来支持他们的主要任务。因此,可穿戴计算对于开发对并行企业行为的新见解是理想的。目前,可穿戴计算仍然是一项小众技术,处于实验室阶段。然而,通过wearIT@work,欧盟委员会启动了一个专门用于应用程序的项目(EC IP 004216)。这个项目的前18个月已经结束,已经有了演示、评估和结果。本文简要介绍了该项目的概念,并给出了可穿戴计算对并发企业的影响。这种影响是基于循环和以用户为中心的设计方法,为维护、生产、医疗保健和应急响应四个应用领域开发不同的试点应用示范。

The paper presents a secured open source-based set of tools managing and disseminating documents in heterogeneous software (source code files, database objects, graphical objects, text files etc) for collaborative networks. The paper motivates the utilization of open source models for the maintenance and adaptation of the application or generic software. It describes the representation of the software in Internet computing, the architecture of the open source-based XML repository manager and the most important issues for its implementation. The system uses encryption and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the collaborative network and the data cannot be intercepted.

Innovation is one of the cornerstones of European manufacturing industry. For small and medium-sized (SMEs) enterprises NPD projects are very often a “win or lose” game. Due to the limited availability of resources, the risk of failure in a single project can endanger the survival of the whole company. SMEs have to deal with the following problems when undertaking the development of new products: (1) lack of information, (2) lack of a risk management methodology, and (3) lack of decision aiding tools. This paper recognises the need of acquiring suitable information and focuses on Risk Management as a critical process to increase the success of New Product Development. A staged implementation plan composed of 3 steps is proposed: Business Intelligence System, Risk Management System and Optimisation of Decision Making Process. Currently implemented systems and steps are commented, as well as future action points, in order to increase the competitiveness of companies.

Supply Chain Design configures network structures and processes and thus determines an overwhelming portion of the cost and performance that subsequently occur during the operation of the supply network. Therefore there is a need for decision making methodologies that allow for the reliable, quick and efficient generation of valid key performance indicators (KPI). This paper outlines the current methodologies and tools widely applied for Supply Chain Design and appraises their suitability for modelling and decision making. On this basis an integrated approach of Static Scenario Comparison and Dynamic Simulation is proposed to overcome current shortfalls of individual methodologies. It is demonstrated that this combined methodology provides advantages regarding both modelling time and effort necessary as well as increased quality of the analysis results.

This work presents the product object model developed inside the eu-funded FP6-IST project PROMISE, which aims at closing the whole set of information loops concerning a product's life. The ultimate goals of the project are: to integrate product data from the entire life cycle via different sources, to support comprehensive analysis on this data and finally to enhance the operational businesses with the obtained insights on products. To achieve these goals, a set of hardware and software tools are being developed. This paper presents the conceptual model behind one of the components of this infrastructure, called the PDKM (Product Data and Knowledge Management) System, which is responsible for the integration and management of both product data and knowledge from all lifecycle phases, on a logically consistent basis.

Establishing an effective European Research and Innovation Area is a major policy objective for all European member states. As ten New Member States recently have entered the European Union, new constellations of economic activity are developing, involving new clusters of economic activity and new business relations between the new and old member states. Also, the issue of fragmentation of research communities and insufficient linkages between academic and business worlds is brought to the forefront. In this paper the role of policies and strategies to stimulate the development of value clusters and new opportunities for collaborative innovation in the New Member States is explored. In particular, we focus on the creation of networks of collaborative innovation and value creation and how they may strengthen the New Member States' systems of innovation.

Currently the product information flow often breaks down after the delivery of the product to the final customer; this is also the case in the automotive industry. As EU legislation is requiring a strictly higher recycling rate in the business of end-of-life vehicles (ELVs), the recycling / recovery strategy for the ELVs' components should be formulated more cautiously and economically. To meet these requirements, the whole lifecycle information of a vehicle is needed by the dismantlers to make accurate recycling / recovery decisions. PEID (Product Embedded Information Devices) systems can be implemented in the vehicle to collect and record all the necessary lifecycle information. For end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) treatment, once PEID systems are used to collect lifecycle data, a Decision Support System (DSS) is needed to manipulate the information and help the operator optimise the decision results during the treatment. In this paper, a Web-based DSS for ELVs is designed in the context of using PEID technology. Its decision flow and the system structure are also presented.

The paper proposes the characterization of a converging approach for adult learning in both corporate and institutional environments and briefly presents iCamp - innovative, inclusive, interactive & intercultural learning Campus - project as the first implementation of an actual Next Generation Educational Web, supported by the emergent Web 2.0 “paradigm” and the social software technology behind it. It is intended to show you how the key elements under this blurry umbrella-like concept of Web 2.0 permeate the educational domain, allowing us to develop innovative pedagogical models, designed to be the basis of higher education, or adult learning in the same terms. The paper shows the first stages of our research efforts in iCamp through an integrated pedagogical model for supporting both, the traditional Learning Management Systems (LMS) / Learning Object Respositories (LOR), and the Personal Educational Environments (PLE) that comprise blogging and wiki tools as well as social networking services.
