SoColnet 19 September 2018

The Collaborative Networks community had its annual meeting at Cardiff on the

occasion of PRO-VE 2018.

Along its 19 years history, PRO-VE has always kept and nurtured three distinctive

features:

1. A forum that promotes multi- and inter-disciplinary dialogue.

2. A working conference that encourages discussion-intensive sessions.

More than simple paper presentations, the aim is to to support effective

sharing of experiences and identification of challenges.

3. An influencer of research directions. Many research trends in CN actually

started in PRO-VE. Often the main theme selected for the conference

plays this role – sometimes not attracting many related contributions in

the first year the theme is choosen, but definitely inducing new research

in the following years.

This year’s edition included two new dimensions that are also expected to guide

and influence future research on CNs:

1. A set of carefully chosen position papers, namely on blockchain and

Industry 4.0, presented by senior researchers.

2. A special session devoted to discuss what the CN community can do to

address the societal

challenges identified in the

Agenda 2030 of the UN.

In this session, a series of parallel

working groups had very active

brainstorming discussions on

the challenges and opportunities.

As a result, PRO-VE 2018 was a very

successful event.

A very special “than you” to Prof. Yacine

Rezgui, Dr. Tom Beach, and the local team

at Cardiff University for the excellent organization.

Very well done! Luis Camarinha-Matos

SOCOLNET special session series report Collaborative Networks research and the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development The Collaborative Networks research community has been always committed to have a tangible impact on society. From the development of new theories and concepts to the deployment of innovative systems and applications, our ultimate goal is to contribute to a better world. The challenges we face in this world are more and more complex and will need increasingly ingenious and creative solutions. The United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is a plan of action for people, planet and prosperity that systematises the areas where we need to transform our world and establishes goals and targets to do it by 2030. SOCOLNET wants to make explicit the engagement of the CN research community with this agenda, starting with this session to devise how can we contribute to address such challenges. The session was organised in 4 groups each one discussing a specific goal (we selected 4 out of the 17 challenges of the Agenda).

The meeting agenda started with a presentation of the session objectives by the organisers, António Lucas Soares, Universidade do Porto, Portugal and Ángel Ortiz, Universitat Politècnica de València, Spain. Then, the different groups started to work separately addressing two main questions:

Mapping different aspects of the challenge to the needed CN support – what can we do?

What combinations of expertise can we imagine to be needed? After that, the participants worked in an action plan addressing the question:

What can the participants do together to help the situation (e.g. writing a position paper, a Project proposal, etc.)?

The main conclusions and actions for each goal were: Goal 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages

Create a collaborative network with: Chemical Producers, Farmers, Water engineers

To develop together technology to produce new fertilizations and new water cleaner techniques

Educate by doing, people to manage water consumption. o Create a collaborative network to educate local communities to

manage water. The collaborative community network is composed of distinct members.

Actions:

Write a position Paper

Project - “Transdisciplinary Research-Oriented Pedagogy for healthy lives and well-being for all at all ages”

o Goal - Create teaching resources with curriculum in various disciplines and subjects.

Chairs António Lucas Soares, Angel Ortiz

Goal 7: Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all

Conclusions and actions:

Goal 9: Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation

Goal 11: Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable

The “Collaborative Networks research and the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development” session revealed to be an excellent way to reinforce the CN community ties while producing some good ideas for future research. We expect that similar sessions become regular in the future PRO-VE conferences.

António Lucas Soares, Angel Ortiz

Conclusions :

Sustainable innovation – value local competencies through CN community.

Explore virtual market place for promoting local products as a seed for the creation of value and growth (e.g. Platform Economy).

Creation of CNs with different groups/nodes with specific knowledge/competencies – through SOCOLNET.

Involve companies’ partners from our CN community.

Search for companies interested in investing/financing local business with their products (e.g. Nokia promoted in Africa)

Actions :

Position paper – Strategy, Principles, Operationalization

Project Proposal o Discussions meeting in Lisbon with goal 9 participants under

SOCOLNET sponsorship. ;)

Actions

• Organize working group

• Project proposal for use case

• Abstract project to other areas

• Virtual organisations

A special moment at PRO-VE 2018 when Andrew Crossley and his group delighted

us with their wonderful performance in the Cardiff Castle.

Abstract. Nowadays, companies to be competitive must

develop capabilities that enable them to respond quickly

to market needs. According to some managers, the

strategy is the development of dynamic logistics networks based on a collaborative environment.

However, the absence of mechanisms to detect and

even anticipate potential opportunistic behaviour is an obstacle to the proliferation of this way of working. The

article aims to understand the role of trust to

sustainability of collaborative processes. The paper begins by discussing the trust properties. It is then

discussed how statistical control charts can be used to support the trust monitoring of each member within a

collaborative ecosystem. The control charts’ tools

suggested in this paper are the Z control charts for trust

level monitoring and the Zi capacity index. Finally, it is

discussed how this approach can be applied to dynamic

logistics networks within the context of a collaborative ecosystem.

Abstract. Blockchain, a distributed secure digital ledger technology, is a relatively recent development

with potentially transformational implications for

economy and society. Its specific characteristics enable new decentralized models of distributed and trusted

transactions. This position paper explores the

implications of blockchain for collaborative networked organizations. In particular we aim at understanding the

implications for companies in various economic sectors,

and how new forms of networked organizations and new business models will be enabled. We also will

focus on enablers of blockchain innovations, in

particular with respect to governance of blockchain-based platforms and business networks. The paper

results in a discussion of research challenges in the field

of blockchain-enabled collaborative networked

organizations.

Abstract. The aging process typically requires

personalized care services for each individual. In this context, a collaborative elderly care ecosystem can

support the provision of integrated services that may

combine contributions from multiple providers. Through composition of services a personalized

solution, tailored to the individual customer, respecting her/his requests, preferences, lifestyle, and constraints,

can be achieved. An additional issue the ecosystem

must deal with is the problem of evolution, as individual’s care needs are not static over time.

Consequently, the care services need to evolve accordingly to keep the elderly’s requirements satisfied.

This process of services’ adaptation is challenging since

many services can be dependent on each other, and there are various constraints that need to be observed

before adaptating and enacting new services. In this paper, we exploit socio-technical aspects of service

adaptation in the context of elderly care ecosystems.

Starting with a service personalization method previously proposed, we introduce various cases of

evolution of elderly care services in response to new requirements. The method considers customer’s inputs

and suggests evolution plans based on the MAPE-K

methodology. An application example is then introduced to illustrate the approach.

ABSTRACT Last decades have witnessed considerable growth in formation

of collaborative networks in industry and services, as well as in the society as a

whole. This trend is boosted by progress in information and communication

technologies (ICT), and more specifically by ubiquitous access to ICT and fast

move toward the hyper-connected world. But this growth also has also raised

fundamental questions regarding its effectiveness and sustainability. On the

other hand, Nature is full of examples of successful collaborative processes,

both intra- and inter-species. Hence, we consider learning from Nature to

provide a promising strategy towards both better understanding of

collaboration and more effective designing of sustainable networks. As such, a

systematic literature survey is conducted on the recent works in a number of

Nature-related disciplines with focus on collaboration. As a result, a set of

important organizational structures, collaborative behavior patterns, and

collaboration promotion mechanisms are identified and categorized.

Furthermore, our analysis results on potential contribution of such aspects to

more intelligent and optimized ICT-based collaborative networks area are

briefly outlined.

Technological Innovation for Industrial and

Service Systems

The Advanced Doctoral Conference on Computing, Electrical and Industrial Systems is celebrating its 10th edition (DoCEIS 2019) with a focus on Technological Innovation for Industrial and Service Systems. The industry and service sectors are going through profound transformation towards digitalization and integration of new levels of “smartness”. The idea of a 4th industrial revolution, represented by terms such as Industry 4.0, Smart Manufacturing and Economy 4.0 are an expression of such transformation. This movement is characterized by an increasing digitalization and interconnection of systems, products, value chains, and business models. The interconnection between the physical and the cyber worlds – Cyber-Physical Systems and Internet of Things – and the integration of the so-called “exponential technologies”, are central features of this innovation trend.

DoCEIS 2019 therefore seeks to present an international and professional platform where Doctorial Students, Researchers and Academicians whose scope of work entails the design, application and adaptation of Resilient Systems in relation to Collaborative Systems, Sensing Technologies, Computer Networks, IoT/CPS, Industrial Systems, Energy Systems, Smart Objects and General Management of all aspects of Technology, that focus on Resilience, can meet to share, discuss, and merge ideas.
