A typical agile project is characterized by fuzziness. However, this decreases from iteration to iteration by the learning effect of measurable partial results, like prototypes or product increments [6, p. 20]. In the agile process, artifacts are generated by the application of methods. They contain all the information that is required by the product development process and reflect the current state of knowledge. They are thus information carriers. These artifacts can be either physical / tangible or virtual / immaterial. The goal of this work is to evaluate the influence of methods and artifacts on agile projects to serve as a basis to derive an agile framework. To this end, the collected data is structured into an analysis framework allowing for a systematic evaluation. Therefore, the Makeathon Think. Make. Start. was analyzed. During this agile development of innovative products, artifacts are a central element and carrier of information.

The use of adequate protective footwear and other types of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) has become a necessity in view of the number of accidents at work occurred in the past years. The European Community (EU) and the member states are creating strategies aiming the increase of the use of PPE's and consequently the decrease of the number of the accidents at work and consequently the number of injuries caused by them and their severity. Currently, there are three types of protective shoe: safety shoes, protection shoes and occupational shoes. The use and specifications of this type of PPE respect the European and ISO standards. In this paper, a brief review of safety footwear and its components will be presented focusing on penetration resistant inserts. In addition, we present a project in development at University of Minho that aims to improve the existent shoes in terms of comfort using new and innovative materials.

Todays technological developments are drivers for new solutions towards massive renewables deployments resulting in increased network challenges. The paper presents a new approach for prosumers having such a local PV production and storage devices which allows, with adequate design, the user to change from classic prosumer to consumer-only from grid perspective, with enhanced efficiency and resilience based on a hybrid (AC and DC) architecture. Three use-cases are presented: PV behind the meter, PV and storage behind the meter and a newly proposed UniRCon (Unidirectional Resilient Consumer) architecture. This use-cases analysis considers four timeline horizons (2018, 2020, 2022, and 2025). It is shown for the selected profiles of consumption and production that PV plus storage behind the meter bring savings, as recognized and expected by today trend of business-cases, and that the complete UniRCon architecture steps in even with more savings together with higher resilience against the grid outages. The UniRCon solution gives also better ramp behaviour during the evening period, compared with the duck curve expected to challenge power systems with high PV penetration.

Intervention in natural disasters is important to look at from many different angles. The points of view of those experiencing the disaster and those of relief workers should be considered when developing models and considerations for interventions and emotional care. This paper describe Virtual Reality (VR) as needful factor of crisis intervention in natural disasters. Paper also describe lot of examples from computing of natural disasters applications and displaying the simulation research results from crisis situation of natural disasters. Virtual reality is an ideal way for trainees to receive advanced tactical training in chaotic situations. They can also continue to practice in these situations continuously until they have mastered the skills and techniques that are required.

The current mobility paradigm is based on cheap fossil fuel energy, high CO2 emissions and individual mobility. This paradigm faces economic, ecological and social limits. The aim of this paper is to analyse if a shared autonomous Electric Vehicles (EVs) fleet can meet these challenges and at the same time satisfy the current requirements of privately owned Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles (ICEVs). Therefore, analytical models have been developed to compute the fleet size and to simulate and investigate impacts on mobility behaviour in Berlin, Germany. The collected data were used to calculate cost effects, the energy consumption and the carbon footprint of different shared autonomous EVs in comparison with privately owned ICEVs. The approach shows that the system of a shared autonomous EV fleet could lower journey time, reduce CO2 emissions, free up parking space in urban areas and generate cost benefits for customers.

Co-creation value with the aim of enhancing customer experience—through providing integrated solutions— relies on networked collaborations of multiple service providers and customers within value network (VN) settings. The customer-centric view of such collaborations highlights the importance of understanding and addressing customer needs in which customer knowledge is essential. Accordingly, managing customer knowledge within VN facilitates providing integrated solutions, and in turn enhances customer experience. In this regard, in previous work we have developed a process-based framework on customer knowledge management within VN settings (VN-CKM). This framework covers processes in relation to both tacit and explicit customer knowledge. In general, there is extensive literature on IT-based systems in supporting knowledge management processes. However, there is a dearth of research on developing such systems to facilitate VN-CKM processes in the context of VN. In this regard, this study aims at eliciting end users requirements of systems needed to support VN-CKM processes. Regarding the predominant role of tacit knowledge in providing solutions, we focus on the tacit-related processes of our VN-CKM framework. Therefore, in this study these tacit-related processes are used as a basis in the requirement elicitation process. To do this, within a single VN, a two-round Delphi study is conducted to elicit the requirements from different actors of the VN. In total 144 requirements have been identified. Subsequently, by applying a structured classification approach they are classified into a set of 14 requirement types. Finally, a description for each requirement type is provided. This study, by following a well-structured research process from tacit-related VN-CKM processes to a coherent set of requirement types, provides a clear understanding on linking requirements to the original tacit-related VN-CKM processes. The resulting list of requirement types can be served as a baseline for defining and specifying the supportive system functionalities for tacit-related VN-CKM processes in the VN settings.

With the introduction of paradigms like Internet of Things, Cyber Physical Systems and Cloud Computing, Smart Factories are becoming a central part of today's manufacturing systems. Even though there already are some solutions in the market the full potential for smart manufacturing hasn't yet been achieved. In order to fulfil the gap European researchers are developing vf-OS, a platform that aims to be the future reference in future factories operating systems. In this work is presented some preliminary results regarding the modules related to IoT, event processing, situational awareness and data harmonization that are being researched in the scope of vf-OS to achieve holistic solution for industries, specifically targeting the agriculture domain.

When product development involves many uncertainties and changes are highly likely, agile approaches are valuable. They integrate customers into the development process frequently and explore what satisfies them best. For that, the development team builds working prototypes, demonstrates them and receives feedback being incorporated into the next iteration. The team collects validated learnings and reduces risks early. However, building physical prototypes frequently is difficult, expensive and time-consuming. We contribute to that field by adapting the Media Richness Theory from communication research for agile development. As a result, we present a guiding model how to choose an appropriate kind of prototype depending on the complexity of communication task. In doing so, we illustrate it's plausibility with an exemplary case from practice.

Enterprise daily operations are not effectively monitored and controlled. Furthermost of enterprises have chosen to implement ERP solutions or multiple systems in order to facilitate the data orchestration [4]; Nevertheless this solution may constraint the business due to the top down “enclosing” methodology. Considered as an alternative to ERP and a precondition to the future Enterprise 4.0 based on IoT and Cyber physical system principle, this paper tentatively presents a proposal to develop and implement an Enterprise Operating System (EOS) by setting loose coupled connections between enterprise's software with only one simplified central orchestrator component using the Decentralized Decision Support technique. The cooperating parties must accommodate and adjust “on-the-fly” to ensure quick interoperability establishment, easy-pass, and dynamic environment update. In the paper, a set of objectives and functions are identified at first. Then a survey on existing relevant works is presented and mapped to the requirements. After that the role of EOS for Industry 4.0 based on Decentralized Decision Support is described. The architectures of envisioned EOS are outlined and a case study shown to illustrate the use of EOS. The last part draws some conclusions and gives future perspectives.
