INTEROP-NoE
The INTEROP-NoE (Interoperability Research for Networked Enterprises Applications and Software - Network of Excellence) project (IST-2003-508011) lasted from 2003-11-01 to 2007-04-30 .
With the project emphasis on network building, dissemination of project results has been an activity of major importance. The following list provides an overview of the different activities that have been carried out:amonmg it the I-ESA International INTEROP Conferences, held in Geneva 2005, Bordeaux 2006 and Funchal 2007 with a total of 800 participating researchers from academia and industry.
INTEROP Project organisation
INTEROP-NoE , with its focus on the interoperability and synergy between
the domains of Enterprise Modelling, Ontology and Architecture & Platform,
can be described
in three clusters of project work packages, complemented by task forces:
1.) Integrating activities (WP1 to WP4): Selection and installation
of a collaboration platform (www.interop-noe.org); Design of a Knowledge
Map with a query function for interoperability
research, a classification framework (taxonomy) and a prototype for
data collection (Protégé); Definition of a model for the
definition of the INTEROP Virtual Laboratory to persist after the
termination of the project.
2.) Joint research activities (WP5 to WP9): Analysis of how to classify,
organise and map existing enterprise modelling languages, taking into account
semantic requirements; Definition of a
framework and a methodology for the management and the synchronisation
of distributed enterprise models; Collection of interoperability good practices
and solutions as well as a
proposition of design principles and patterns for interoperability;
Production of state of the art documents on “Ontology-based integration
of enterprise modelling and architectures &
platforms” and on “Model driven and dynamic, federated enterprise architectures
and interoperability”.
3.) Dissemination and spreading of excellence activities (WP10 to WP12):
Initial elaboration of a glossary of interoperability terms; Definition
of a list of Web courses and tutorials to be
developed; Initial rules for the creation of an Interoperability Master
Program; Co-ordinated organisation of and participation in a large number
of events like international conferences and
workshops, the most significant of them being the International Conferences
on Interoperability for Enterprise Applications and Software (I-ESA), held
at Geneva (2005), Bordeaux (2006), Funchal (2007) and Berlin (2008). Most
of the results are available as public deliverables
What is INTEROP
The Joint Programme of Activities of INTEROP-NoE and ATHENA-IP
in the 6FP aims to:
What needs to be done
The roadmap for Interoperability research emphasises the need for integrating
three key thematic components:
INTEROP partners
51 European partners from universities, research organisations and
industrial enterprises with the University Bordeaux 1, France as the project
co-ordinator. A core team of 18 partners consisting of University Bordeaux
1, ADELIOR/GFI and University Henri Poincaré Nancy (CRAN
and LORIA), France; University Namur, Belgium; Fraunhofer-IPK, CIMOSA Association
and University of Oldenburg, Germany; University Roma, CNR-IASI, TXT and
University Torino, Italy; SINTEF, Norway; UNINOVA, Portugal; Polytecnic
University Valencia and AIDIMA, Spain, University of Geneva, Switzerland,
CIMMEDIA, UK have taken the lead in the project activities. CIMOSA Association
together with CRAN/University Nancy was responsible for dissemination and
communication.
