Description

MODERN is a project having the main purpose to introduce within enterprises new methodologies and models useful to coherently support the innovation of process, able to lead to simplification of services delivery, to both internal and external players, according to the Enterprise 2.0 paradigm.
It sets out the objective to define architectural solutions enabling the performance and reconfiguration of user-centric processes, methodologies and techniques for the knowledge sharing and collaboration in Open Enterprise , and prototypes of architectural solutions.
The project, that presents a strong connotation of Industrial Research, will cope with a series of themes as for instance: definition, orchestration and delivery of services, access and user-oriented composition of services, knowledge representation and organisation, “social” patterns for user’s interaction and knowledge sharing, reconfigurability of user-centric processes.
All the research themes in point, will be aimed at modelling new architectural solutions giving concreteness and homogeneity to paradigm, principles, tools and technologies that are commonly included in that “pot” usually referred to as Enterprise 2.0. Such solutions will converge into the definition of a model of Adaptive Enterprise Architecture that will take into account, in an integrated way, also of requirements deriving from a Social Network & Community as well as from the Semantic Web, yielding an Extended Adaptive Enterprise Architecture.
The results expected from the project are therefore manifold and strictly connected one another.
We would like to recall, among the others, the definition of an architectural model that, by reorganising the business Information Systems so to exhibit their functionalities as services, is able, through partners and techniques of Web 2.0, to enable new forms of collaboration and knowledge sharing.
Also, the use of techniques for the knowledge representation, inherited from the Semantic Web and opportunely extended and included in default models, will enable both interoperability forms and applicative cooperation, and a knowledge organisation produced and shared using social techniques (Web 2.0).
Eventually, from the market standpoint, the innovation will mostly involve applicative environments related to an Adaptive Enterprise Architecture and Social Network & Community, for which the enterprise investment trends are on the increase.
