There is quite some history here…

Wassily Kandinsky (1913) Composition VII

Different interpretations of existing EI knowledge

To contribute towards the establishment of Enterprise Interoperability Science,

through defining the concepts, analysing the best practices, synthesising

scientific methods and tools from neighbouring domains, defining

problem and solution patterns, affecting standardisation, so that

enterprises can be systematically assisted in exploiting the benefits of

interoperability at strategic, organisational, semantic and technical levels,

yielding innovative products and services of unprecedented quality, return

on investment and sustainability.

EISB = A different, more scientific way to deal with interoperability, tackling issues at design time, with a systemic way

ENSEMBLE Contribution to the Waves


EI is the capacity of two or more enterprises, including all the systems within their boundaries and the external systems that they utilize or are

affected by, in order to cooperate seamlessly, over a sustained period of time to pursue a

common objective

Single source of current knowledge on Enterprise Interoperability Reduced tendency to re-invent technology

Reduced tendency to focus on limited subset of solution approaches

Development of generalised software solutions based on comprehensive domain knowledge and application of standards

Grasping opportunities for application of research results

Problem and solution space knowledge together with services to link problem patterns to appropriate solution approaches Supporting problem diagnosis, by directing investigation to critical

problem characteristics

Accelerating the selection of applicable solution approaches, and leading to the EISB knowledge to support adoption

0 Scientific work in a community that is more applied research-oriented proved difficult 0 The development of the foundations for the EISB was a major challenge with many

identified difficulties.

0 The development of EISB was in general well accepted by the research and scientific community, yet a strong recommendation emerged to work towards: EISB -> EIS –> IS

0 Collaboration can be achieved easier with individuals – representatives of the projects rather than with the whole project consortium

0 Social presence of the Cluster members is limited and eventually hinders online collaboration


0 To other scientific disciplines…

0 To SMEs and entrepreneurs…

0 To other non-ICT industry sectors…

0 To tools, methods, standards…

0 Sustainability of systems and knowledge gained

0 Evolution through new ideas / projects

0 Continuous support to the main activities of the cluster for the transition period until a new CSA starts 0 Hosting and keeping the portal live

0 Content management support (uploading info in the portal and support to monthly newsletters)

0 Initiating discussions in social media

0 Evolving the roadmap

0 Publication of an EISB book by IGI Global (entitled «Revolutionizing Enterprise Interoperability through Scientific Foundations») & preparation of additional special issues and publications to high impact journals 0 Deadline for chapter proposals: October 30th, 2012
