ICE2006 Communities Forum day
From AMI@Work Communities Wiki
Day 3 is contributing to future research programmes and identification of collaboration opportunities through dedicated forum discussion about trends, vision, roadmapping, new concepts and research challenges where all participants will be invited to express their own opinion. Position papers will be invited by communities through the use of the AMI@Work communities website. Results of the discussions as well as position papers will be included into the Communities Forum day proceedings.
Communities Forum day Coordinator: Marc Pallot, EsoCE-Net

[edit] Plenary Opening Session
"AMI communities, Living Labs, collaborative working environments and ICTs for enterprises - birth, development and future"
Olavi Luotonen, New Working Environments Unit, European Commission
[edit] Forum 1: Ambient Intelligence Technologies for the Product Lifecycle (AITPL)
Forum Title: Ambient Intelligence Technologies for the Product Lifecycle
Forum Chairs:
Markus Rabe, Fraunhofer IPK, Berlin (Germany)
Florent Frederix, European Commission, Brussels (Belgium)
Goals:
Ambient Intelligence for the product life cycle is expected to face significant attention in the seventh framework (FP7) programme of the European Union. The forum shall work out the major challenges to be addressed in the next years, and identify priorities as well as potential contributors. The output of the forum will also be used for the identification of potential activities in the context of the ERA. The forum is structured into two sessions. The morning session will give an overview on past and current research within the projects of the AITPL cluster, while the afternoon will be organized as a workshop, in order to collect and discuss input from the forum participants. Forum results will be documented as a report to the European Commission, and also provided to all participants.

[edit] Forum 2: Living Labs
Forum Title: Living Labs Emerging Practices
Forum Chair: Mikael Borjson, Luleå University of Technology / CDT
The European Network of Living Labs is a huge challenge for research methodologies, innovation process management, public-private partnership models, IPR’s, open source practices, development of new leadership, governance and financial instruments. The proposed Living Lab Forum is supported by the European Commission DG INFSO New Collaborative Working Environments unit, and is sponsored by the CORELAB project. The overall objective of the CoreLabs CA is to achieve a coordination of activities towards the estab-lishment of co-creative Living Labs as the foundation of a Common European Innovation System on several levels. The activities to be coordinated towards that goal are:
- The harmonisation of existing and emerging Living Labs
- Initiatives within current and future CWE research initiatives (primarily Integrated Projects)
- Regional, national and IST RTD programmes
- All stakeholder organisations (public, academic, civic, industry, SMEs, etc.)
This includes the co-ordinated synergic development, harmonisation and networking of regional Liv-ing Labs initiatives, research projects, the establishment of a Living Labs Certificate, the establish-ment of a methods-and-tools framework and the creation of a common European Roadmap and poli-cies on relevant research topics.
The Forum specific objective is to bring ongoing and upcoming European CWE-related RTD projects closer together and to identify collaboration & synergy opportunities, with regards to validation approaches and the Living Labs Approach. In particular the Forum will focus on:
- The identification of best practice in validation
- Sharing the concept and grasping the novelty essence of Living Labs
- Identifying the far reaching implications of the Living Labs approach upon research initiative success, industry, society…

[edit] Forum 3: Towards new Collaborative Environments
Forum Chair: Wolfgang Prinz, Fraunhofer-FIT (tbc)
The “Concurrent Innovation” paradigm for Integrated Product/Service/Organisation (PSO) Development within Collaborative environments
Roberto Santoro and Marc Pallot, EsoCE-Net and Sergio Gusmeroli, TXT
In the global business scenario, the human capital is deemed to be an essential competitive advantage by all involved business entities, being them individuals, enterprises and networks. Within the emerging knowledge economy, industrial competitiveness is based more and more on the creativity and productivity of knowledge workers in the development of new products and services. The Concurrent Innovation forum objectives are to validate a set of vision elements defining a vision by 2010 of the Concurrent Innovation paradigm and to identify gaps and the key research challenges to realize such vision that could be used as a contribution to the FP7.
Take a look at the current description of the following concepts:
- Concurrent Innovation Paradigm
- Professional Human Resources Ecosystems to integrate Companies, Individuals and Communities towards Value Innovation
- Knowledge Connection, a new research field to better support interpersonal creativity
Constantly changing customer demands and intense global competitive environment imposes the compelling need to better support knowledge workers, operating as eProfessionals, within creativity sessions and innovation tasks while increasing inter-personal productivity in order to remain competitive on the global market. As a consequence, working organisation is shifting towards networked individuals driven simultaneously by the necessity of focusing on core competency while stimulating the emergence of creative ideas and breakthrough innovation. These in turn push organisations to implement new ways of working and interacting among diverse competency fields that require more effective and efficient collaborative approaches.
