Current Challenges for Society at Large
• Innovative Technology, especially ICT• Globalisation (globalism,glocalism)• Competition
• Innovation, restructuring, quick adapting
• But we have to innovate our mentality, and often be brave enough to invent the rules along the way – ethical issue
![Page 3: Strategies for Economic Capitalization of Research at the University of Udine Furio Honsell C-DAC, Pune Sept 1, 2005](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d265503460f949fd9f5/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Current Challenges for Universities
• Technology• Globalisation• Competition
+• The fact that society has to face the same
challenges • Digital Learning for
– supporting traditional teaching and turn it into learning experiences
– distance learning • Internalization• Partnerships and alliances• Strategies for economic realization of research
![Page 4: Strategies for Economic Capitalization of Research at the University of Udine Furio Honsell C-DAC, Pune Sept 1, 2005](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d265503460f949fd9f5/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
ONLY OPTION
• Pursue a mutual benefit: phenotype and genotype
• The regional economic systems and universities need to join forces
• Easier said than done!• Applied vs Industrial research criticalities
– communication: expertise vs problems– objectives: methodologies vs realizations– behaviour: dissemination vs privacy – different time scales and horizons– SME’s , districts
![Page 5: Strategies for Economic Capitalization of Research at the University of Udine Furio Honsell C-DAC, Pune Sept 1, 2005](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d265503460f949fd9f5/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Mountain regions and their criticalities
• handicaps vs advantages of: reduced accessibility:– marginality, isolation, population decrease– lack of infrastructures
• but – resistance to homologation and cultural mass-
globalization, – quality of life is potentially better – Possibility of learning from the experience of others
in the area of environment sustainable growth
![Page 39: Strategies for Economic Capitalization of Research at the University of Udine Furio Honsell C-DAC, Pune Sept 1, 2005](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d265503460f949fd9f5/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Mountain Regions
• In the knowledge and digital information society and economy.– It can play major roles (e.g. free-time economy)– Increase its attractiveness
• IT technologies and e-enabled activities can reduce the impact of its handicaps, capitalizing precisely on its reduce accessibility

A case for Verification and Validation
• Life, environment or business critical software applications
• Digital woes: e.g. Y2K, Ariane, Patriot failures, Pentium Bug, bugs in mass produced software or widely distributed software
• Rigorous validation using logic based formal methods
![Page 42: Strategies for Economic Capitalization of Research at the University of Udine Furio Honsell C-DAC, Pune Sept 1, 2005](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d265503460f949fd9f5/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
A case for non-technological skills in IT-enabled activities
• Before hardware innovation we need innovation in mentality and consequently in the software design
• Simplification, reorganization, reengineering, reinventing
• Goal is bridging distance, non-hierarchical structures, interactive
• Standards, codes • in Udine we are (preparing to) form such human,
social, design skills
