Conference Registration, Accommodation and Transportation.
Please register as soon as possible to avoid any disapointment - registrations will be confirmed by the ICE secretariat.
- Grand Hotel Mercure Sophia Country Club ****
Located between Nice and Antibes, 15 minutes from Cannes in the heart of the Sophia Antipolis park. Nestled in a 12 hectare landscaped garden with 2 swimming pools, 20 tennis courts, golf course, sauna, hammam, gym, bar, deluxe brasserie. Meeting facilities for up to 600 people.
- Sophia Antipolis
Founded and marketed by an non-profit-making economic interest group in 1969, the creation programme of a scientific park has been able to be extended thanks to the strength of wilful people from the Alpes Maritimes department, from the State, from the P.A.C.A region and from the five first towns (Biot, Valbonne, Mougins, Vallauris and Antibes), which cover 2300 hectares of lands. Four other towns (Villeneuve-Loubet, La Colle sur Loup, Opio and Roquefort les Pins) have joined them to contribute to the Park extension project. There are 1227 corporate names. 25 911 direct jobs have been created in the Park / 1260 companies.
The computer science, electronics and telecommunications pole accounts for 25% of the companies and nearly 50% of the jobs. You can notice the presence of a large number of famous French and foreign companies like Air France, Amadeus Development Company, Bouygues Télécom, ETSI, France Telecom, Matra Communication Sud, SEMA Group Télécom, Siemens, Atos Ingénierie Intégration etc. The density and the complementary nature of the companies are the core of the Club Telecom Valley. The Aérospatiale, IBM and Texas Instruments, settled near the Park, are also members of the Telecom Valley.
[edit] Conference Programme and Registration
Take a look at the Conference Programme
The conference will have two main streams:
- Day 1 will host 48 selected presentations and 20 posters from the open call for papers. The presentations will give insight to the latest findings from R&D in CE. They will be introduced with keynote presentations from industry and academia.
- Day 2 and 3 will be devoted to accepted workshops. These workshops aim to bring together users and experts in interactive sessions for elaborating specific topics. The chair and co-chairs of each workshop will organise selected contributions (presentations and/or demonstrations) in order to stimulate the debate. The workshop outcome will be presented in a roundtable for discussion with the delegates and will be subject to a separate workshop report under the responsibility of the workshop chair and co-chairs.
Please register for the workshop days here. You just need to provide your lastname, first name and email address into the form and then tick the box of the activities and workshops you would like to join.
As always at ICE, the support of social networking receives strong attention within the conference and excellent facilities will be provided for establishing and maintaining contacts in the community.
[edit] ICE'2007 Motto
Concurrent (Collaborative) Innovation
Increasing global competitive environment imposes the compelling need to identify new paradigms, methods, applications and technologies to better support creativeness and innovation. Open Innovation, Co-Creation Living Labs and Front-End Innovation are brand new paradigms addressing the entire product design and development process. Hence the future of Concurrent Enterprising lies within the context of integrated design of customisable products, comprehensive services, and flexible/adaptable organisations where individuals, groups, businesses and communities collaborate together within loosely or tightly coupled networks through the use of on-line shared workspaces.
Now it is time to go a step forward, this is why ICE’2007 main theme is strongly related to the preparation of the new ESoCE-NET vision and roadmap. The previous one, published in 2004 and entitled “A Roadmap towards the Collaborative Enterprise – CE Vision 2010” needs to be revised, updated and complemented according to the up-coming new paradigms, methods, applications and technologies. ICE’2007 participants are invited to this discussion and to take part in this roadmapping exercise. Our current vision is based on recent studies (Gartner and ESoCE-NET) showing that by 2010 most knowledge workers or eProfessionals and citizens will spent 70% of their time working collaboratively and invest a significant part of their time 33% within communities of co-creators, helping them to realize their Knowledge, Business and Social expectations. Furthermore, it is forecasted that by 2010 most European Regions will set up Living Labs as a strategic differentiator for competitive regional development.
Best in class corporations currently perceive that they are approaching a limit of their innovation potential within current organizational structures. Technology is not solving societal issues. A new organisational paradigm is required where individuals break out of the traditional organisation borders and where networks of knowledge worker peers (e.g. professional communities) become the centre of the organisational constellation. Citizens are also involved into the co-creation process as a chance to influence the development of new products and services. The breakthrough concept is to create an entanglement between the network of individuals and the organisations, unleashing the power of collective intelligence in an open innovation environment. The European network of co-creative Living Labs constitutes the foundation of a Common European Innovation System. The Living Lab is an “ICT enabled functional region” empowering the citizens and the professionals of the region, in their real life social settings, to perceive, create and validating innovations solving pressing societal issues in an open collaboration with Industry, Academy and Public Institutions.
But what does this mean in practice and research? How does this change engineering methodologies, applications and tools? How to design tangible and intangible goods in an integrated manner? Which information and communication technologies are needed to support new form of organisations and new ways of working? What is the impact on engineering work and future on-line workplaces? Which social and legal issues need to be considered? How co-creation Living labs could help us in involving all stakeholders (Public-Private partnership), including EU citizens, in the design and experimentation of new approaches, methods and technologies?
These are the burning questions which the ICE 2007 will focus its attention on. It will bring leading researchers and practitioners together from all over the World presenting the newest findings from research and sharing practical cases from industry.
[edit] Innovation is our Tradition
Since the early 1990s the European Society for CE has been actively involved in bringing together leading academics, researchers and practitioners in a common forum so as to stimulate the exchange of ideas, views and latest research and developments in the field of Concurrent Engineering and Extended Enterprising. For many years, ICE has become a proactive knowledge community (www.ESoCE.net) and a lively and engaging meeting place for thought leaders in the domain of Concurrent Enterprising.
Since inception this event has evolved and grown in terms of size, nature, number of papers presented quality of papers and presentations, quality of proceedings and countries represented. Compared to other events in the domain, ICE is unique for its good balance between industrial and academic participation and the multi-national character of the event. ICE 2006 in Milan attracted about 230 delegates from 30 countries including 40% from industry.
