MOTIVATION

n The European manufacturing industry has: n innovative technology n quality processes n robust products

n these characteristics have leveraged Europe’s industrialization n but n the economic globalization has exposed Europe’s industry to new

emerging and industrialized manufacturing markets n the recent economic crisis has decelerated the internal boost and

investment n Hence, a new ICT infrastructure across Europe needs to be established to

re-inforce global competitiveness

WHY WORKFLOWS?

n Complex products require … n development and simulation of

mechanics, software and electronics all together

n interactive simulation, simulation-in-the-loop and synchronized workflows based on interoperability of data, services and workflows

S&T OBJECTIVES

n Data: cloud-based management of heterogeneous data and extended data interoperability

n Services: cloud-based computing services based on standard technologies and extended interoperability through semantic technologies

n Workflows: linking heterogeneous services along the engineering chain to integrated workflows to support multi-domain / multi- physics decision making in product and production design

n Users: flexible definition of workflows / single point of access n Business confirm and further analyse the value proposition,

Models: value chain, business models and deployment models for the optimal final exploitation of results

n Security: establish a security certification programme
