”Living” the Future of SoftwareDriving the concept of living labs as collaboration platforms for open innova-tion, SAP Research has been success-ful in bringing together customers, partners, researchers, and developers for in-depth collaboration and hands-on discussions on various topics. Providing a real-world setting, the living labs turn research results and prospective SAP solutions into tangible experiences and stimulate innovative results.

Co-Innovating Around the GlobeSAP Research has established a world-wide collaborative network with more than 800 organizations, among them numerous renowned universities and research institutes, private enterprises, governments, and customers. Each SAP Research Center is co-located with either a partner university or an SAP devel opment lab and often takes advantage of the close vicinity to major partners. This creates a solid foundation for co-innovation, as, for example, with the newly established SAP and Intel Co- laboratory at the SAP Research Center Belfast.

The exploration of new trends and the development of promising ideas and prototypes is an essential part of every technology enterprise. SAP achieves just that with its global tech-nology research unit, SAP Research. Strategi cally aligned with the area of SAP’s chief technology officer, the group acts as a technology trend scout, significantly contributing to SAP’s product portfolio and helping the company maintain its technolo-gical edge.

Shaping TrendsIn contrast to SAP’s product groups and development labs that work on new functions and releases, the re-searchers identify and shape trends that have not yet been developed into products. In addition to its par-ticipation in collaborative research projects within a large ecosystem of partners from academia and in-dustry, SAP Research constantly works on the transfer of project results, shaping existing and future SAP® solutions.

In the search for the “next big things” − maximum-impact, next-generation technologies and applications − the SAP Research portfolio focuses on topics across a number of business areas backed by a solid foundation of technical research programs.

Contents I SAP Research Report 2009/2010 I 1

Dear reader,

We are living in a time of rapid global change. Companies and organizations must act faster to adapt themselves to this new reality and drive new competitive advantages. Technological innovation plays a decisive role; it can help mitigate future risks, handle crises faster, and drive long-term sustainable growth. In the coming years, the business models of most industries will drastically change with the increased pervasiveness of new technologies. Among these technologies is cloud computing, which already offers companies of all sizes an increasingly important building block in their IT strategy. A major stride into the future of many industries will be enabled through the emergence of the Internet of Services, setting the stage for a new era of business networks. Equally promising is our research on in-memory database technology which – by using new ways of storing and accessing data – will allow us to answer business queries in no more than a second, strengthening our vision of the real-time enterprise.

SAP’s goal is to embrace all of these new technologies and to provide our customers with a wide range of innovation in a long-term relationship across generations of change. Our global research organization, SAP Research, has the mission and the necessary freedom to investigate current trends, pursue future developments, test new technologies, and estimate their potential for enterprises, industries, and the society as a whole. This year’s theme, “From Creativity to Value,” adeptly summarizes the approach we take to make sure brilliant ideas and promising research results are transformed into tangible benefits for our customers.

Creative ideas emerge when established concepts are challenged and elements that at first glance do not belong together are linked for the first time. Companies like SAP that stand at the

EDITORIALSAP RESEARCH REPORT

2 I SAP Research Report 2009/2010 I Editorial – Vishal Sikka

intersection of business and IT have a distinct advantage. Each arena spurs the other on − and new and breakthrough ideas con-tinuously emerge, as SAP has proven again and again.

Because the most prolific ideas originate through personal dialog and collaboration, SAP Research maintains close ties to customers and partners as well as with universities and research institutes across the globe. Our areas of research range from medical care in rural areas of southern Africa, to the workplace of the future in Europe and the Americas, to supporting rescue organizations in large-scale disasters in Asia. The industrialization of software development is also being explored, as are the security of urban areas and the use of software to support a more sustainable society, for example, in the field of energy management.

But creativity alone cannot be the goal of corporate research. Ideas must be developed and tested, classified, and channeled. They need a firm technological basis to provide benefits and returns for a company, its customers, and partners. This is the only way to drive sustainable value.

The SAP Research Report you hold in your hands is an important way in which we can document our open, yet focused and struc-tured research process. Once again, you will find a broad overview of our visions, ideas, and projects to create the next generation of software. Research and innovation play a crucial role to enable a future of sustainable growth and create jobs in all sectors. SAP is at the forefront as a leader in IT.

Enjoy your reading,

Dr. Vishal SikkaMember of the Executive Board of SAP AG and Chief Technology Officer

Dear reader,

In these challenging economic times, research organizations play a significant role in guiding our economy toward a brighter future. In order to assess its contributions, an organization must look critically at its achievements and its lessons learned. The SAP Research Report 2009/2010 is meant to provide you with an overview of our activities, with an emphasis on the research projects and outcomes that best show our curiosity and passion about the future of IT and the potential for business and society.

SAP Research is proud to look back on its success in the past years. We have experienced recent growth and, despite the critical business climate of 2009, were able to unfold an even wider variety of themes and prototypes and expand our research network considerably.

In 2009, new research groups were opened in India, Israel, and Bulgaria, further intensifying SAP’s scientific exchange with local partners. In the same year, we also experienced organizational change here at SAP. SAP Research joined the Office of the CTO, resulting in an even stronger convergence of research activities with the overall SAP technology strategy. However, our goal remains the same. We are committed to trend analysis, research, and co-innovation with internal and external partners, and we strive to develop new knowledge as a thought leader for break-through innovation within SAP. The Original1 spin-off, a joint venture with Nokia and the German-based technology provider Giesecke & Devrient, marked a great milestone for SAP Research. Founded on thorough IT research, this enterprise has set out to improve global brand protection by providing unique product authentication and anticounterfeiting services. I am sure that we will see the emergence of more spin-offs in the future that successfully turn research results into products and services and ultimately into new jobs.

Fresh ideas also stemmed from events, most notably from the International Research Forum (IRF), an annual think tank organized by SAP Research that brings together global thought leaders from business and science. In 2009, we examined the connection of real-world objects in the Future Internet, asking the question “The Internet of Things: Reality or Hype?” Although a variety of viewpoints were discussed, all attendees foresee tremendous change on the horizon. In addition to the evolution of entirely new business models, affecting several industries, this new technology is sure to have a significant impact at both an individual and a societal level.

Furthermore, the SAP Research PhD program, which we have been offering in close collaboration with major universities for several years now, has also proven to be a tremendous success. More and more graduates are completing the program, proving the value of our commitment to higher education and the fruit-fulness of undertaking a doctoral degree in a real-world setting while keeping closely connected to an academic base.

Reflecting on these and many other successes, the SAP Research Report 2009/2010 focuses on the stakeholders of our co-innovative network and the value created from our joint research endeavors. Although each chapter has its own flavor, they all exemplify the motto “From Creativity to Value,” rooted in the continuous explorative and collaborative spirit of SAP Research and each of our partners and colleagues. I invite you to share in the excitement of our successful research endeavors, and I hope that you find this report to be an interesting and stimulating read.

ABOUT SAP RESEARCHSHAPING TOMORROW’S IT SOLUTIONS

Identifying and shaping emerging IT trends and generating breakthrough technologies and prototypes requires both creativity and passion as well as a consistent and solid approach. SAP Research provides the ideal environment to transform creative ideas into valuable results. It plays a leading role in a number of collaborative projects with renowned scientists and researchers across its global co-innovation network. Systematically integrating customers and partners, SAP Research constantly works on transferring user-driven research results to improve existing SAP solutions.

6 I SAP Research Report 2009/2010 I About SAP Research

Exploring Trends with a Network of Innovative Minds

SAP Research is committed to shaping the IT solutions of tomorrow through industrial research. Its goal is to antic-ipate and evaluate emerging IT trends and to further mold these trends into valuable breakthrough innovations. Promising trends are investigated through collaborative research projects, leading to future developments and technologies for both SAP and the IT world in general. This type of thought leadership is achieved thanks to SAP Research’s extensive expertise and in cooperation with its powerful co- innovation network.

The global spread of SAP Research’s locations helps the organi zation com-municate with the most advanced centers of innovation around the world. Each SAP Research Center is co-located with either a partner university or an SAP® Lab location, creating a solid foundation for collaborative research. Researchers located at an SAP Lab interact closely with internal SAP devel-opment units, whereas SAP Research Centers established on or in close proximity to partner university prem-ises work jointly with that institution. The research conducted is further

extended to local research partners and companies.

SAP Research’s own network consists of 500 employees (including students and PhD candidates) across five conti-nents, and the organization continues to grow. After the opening of its new research center in Raanana, Israel, in November 2008, the SAP Research Group Bangalore was officially estab-lished in July 2009. The group is locat-ed at the SAP Labs India main campus, and its research topics are focused mostly on the areas of decision sup-port systems for text understanding, service infrastructures, and Web infor-mation quality. January 2010 saw the opening of the SAP Research Group Sofia in Bulgaria. In addition to signifi-cantly leveraging the local 500-person development team, the researchers in Sofia are mainly exploring next- generation platforms for business services, processes, and applications, which will significantly strengthen all existing and future SAP products. Addi-tional areas of interest for the group are cloud computing, on-demand offerings, social networking, and user experience.

Through its collaboration with academia and industry, SAP researchers are part of a network of more than 2,000 scien-tists from university and academic research institutions and more than 1,000 researchers from the industry and government sectors as well as SAP customers. SAP Research is also a member of more than 70 industry and scientific boards and runs a PhD program for doctoral students conducting applied IT research. This wide- ranging ecosys tem pro -vides an optimal climate for researchers to invest their best efforts in collaborative projects.

Bangalore: Web 2.0 Produc-tization Opportunity

One of the highlights of the newly formed SAP Research Group Banga-lore in 2009 was the opportunity to rapidly take a technology that we had built called Compareviews into prod-uct development. The aim was to integrate existing applications with the Web 2.0 world, especially social media such as Facebook and Twitter.

Compareviews is an end-to-end decision support system for text understanding. The initial focus of the system has been on mining reviews of consumer products and presenting the result in a meaningful way. Com-pareviews helps users sift through this plethora of text data that is scattered across the Internet to rapidly arrive at the decision that they were trying to make, be it purchasing a camera or deciding which restaurant to go to.

The customer relationship manage-ment (CRM) team at SAP strongly believes that Compareviews would bring significant value to some of SAP’s key customers who use their platform to power their e-commerce Web sites. Our interactions with the CRM team are a great example of working with a progressive product team that is keen to rapidly incorpo-rate SAP Research prototypes and ideas into its mainstream offerings in order to accelerate time-to- market.

About SAP Research I SAP Research Report 2009/2010 I 7

In order to achieve optimum research results, SAP Research closely coor-dinates its research agenda with its strategic partners, ranging from IBM, Intel, Siemens, and Microsoft to a number of small start-up companies. In addition, in consistently following the principle of co-innovation, SAP Research involves customers and partners at an early stage to obtain accurate feedback. This concept is also at the heart of SAP Research’s livings labs – collaboration platforms for open innovation that bring together customers,

partners, SAP researchers, and devel-opers to experiment with technological research in real-world, hands-on settings. Their feedback, in turn, has a direct im-pact on the research and development process and allows SAP Research to tailor its prototypes accordingly.

Finally, when analyzing and reviewing trends, SAP Research consults with internal parties and renowned thought leaders to find the hottest topics worth pursuing.

International Research Forum

By bringing together some of the most important thought leaders from around the world, the annual International Research Forum (IRF) is one more way in which SAP Research works to identify trends, explore opportu nities, and propose solutions to the most pressing technological, social, and economic issues of our time.

The International Research Forum 2009 took place in Dresden, Germany, April 28−29, and addressed the question, The Internet of Things: Reality or Hype? Further topics and trends discussed included end-to-end real-world awareness, the infrastruc-ture of the Internet of Things, poten-tial “killer” applications, and future manufacturing. Among the partici-pants were renowned international academic, government, and industry leaders as well as experts and thought leaders from manufacturing, soft-ware, electronics, and other areas.

Each year a book is published that further develops the main ideas and discussions from the IRF. Topics from recent IRFs include Web 2.0, IT Secu-rity, the Internet of Services, and the Internet of Things.

A dedicated SAP Research Curator-ship consisting of proven outside ex-perts meets biannually for in-depth trend meetings and discussions. The mission of the SAP Research Curator-ship is to identify major IT research and development trends, evaluate topic areas of SAP Research, and provide strategic advice. After discussing IT megatrend in 2008, the curatorship meetings in 2009 covered the topics of public security and e-energy.

All 12 curatorship members are thought leaders within their fields, ranging from board members of large enterprises to chief scientists from leading universities. Companies and academic institutions are equally represented within the board. The newest member of the SAP Research Curatorship is Henning Kagermann, president of the German Academy of Science and Engineering (acatech) and former CEO of SAP.

Within SAP, a dedicated SAP Research Portfolio Office collects and evaluates all findings related to the trend analysis and compares them with external sources. In addition, the SAP Innovation Council identifies and shapes best practices for innovation projects dealing with emerging tech nologies across SAP. The main focus is on finding valu-able new technological concepts accord-ing to the market climate and their po-tential integration into SAP solutions.

A Selection of SAP Research Partners Around the Globe


a topic of mutual interest has been de-cided upon among collaborators, joint research projects are undertaken. The project must receive approval from SAP as well as the project partners and the funding body.

Once the collaborative research project is underway, anticipated use cases, business scenarios, and technical con-cepts are developed. Demonstrators and prototypes are created to show the feasibility of the research ideas. To further validate the findings, investiga-tions into the customer and business requirements and the market relevance of the research are conducted using trials and research pilots in a real-world setting. SAP product groups, customers, and partners are involved in this under-taking through formal auditing process-es and regular feedback loops.

From Trends to Innovation

The Research Process Having an idea is central but only a first step in conducting industrial research. One of the main tasks is to select and assess trends and ideas that can be turned into innovative products. This funneling process is necessary to create value out of the grand pool of cre-ativity and to make innovation happen.

Ideas and trends are continuously dis-cussed across SAP Research’s co- innovation network, its dedicated exter-nal review boards, and internal innovation channels to determine which topics are worth pursuing. A wide range of busi-ness and industry reports are also screened to gain an understanding of the drivers of change and the impact on future business opportunities. Once

We appreciate SAP Research’s close collaboration with customers and SAP’s field organizations. Many research projects have originated from ideas that came up in discus-sions with customers – for example, for the EU service directive and in the area of e-energy. SAP Research proves SAP’s thought leadership through its demonstrations and keynotes at customer events. Its living labs are meeting points for customers, stimulating joint dialogues and idea exchanges. This accelerates product development and helps us to deliver innovative solutions for our clients.

The Research PortfolioOne popular definition of a trend is that it is a tendency with a certain statistical probability of occurrence, indicating the direction of a likely development. Simply put, trends are long-term changes with-in an environment. Understanding trends enables SAP Research to forecast the future. In its exploration of current trends, SAP Research has created a strategic framework − a research portfolio − around which to focus its activities. This research portfolio is founded on trends that the group has identified as promising and is a combination of technology and business strategy.

The SAP Research portfolio is based on a bottom-up approach. The research programs, made up of different tech-nology clusters, form the solid founda-tion for the business areas. The busi-ness areas touch upon different aspects of technological, societal, and business change and represent areas in which SAP is currently driving its activities. In its exploration of these business areas, SAP Research can then identify the “next big things” – strate gically relevant, future-generation products and technologies.

Research ProgramsTo focus its research efforts on the most promising topics for business information technology, SAP Research bundles its activities into nine technical research programs. Research programs are clusters of technology areas that are relevant to the technology strategy of SAP and support existing or future business. Each program is driven by a vision that anticipates the future devel-opment in this particular research area and serves as a guideline for further research. Each research project is as-signed to at least one research program and implements dedicated parts of the program vision. The research programs are as follows:

Through strong communication between SAP Research Business Development and SAP’s internal development and solution management teams, the knowl-edge gained from the research projects is transferred across SAP throughout the entire collaborative research pro-cess. When a product decision has been reached by the relevant stake-holders, a dedicated transfer project is implemented. As an alternative to productizing research results by SAP, spin-off companies founded on these results have also been established, both by SAP Research alone and with partners. Read more about the Original1 spin-off in Chapter 3.

What does research mean for software development? It is all about creativity and innovation. It is difficult to predict the future, but research helps us to explore it systematically and, finally, to embrace it successfully.

SAP Research provides us with a clear picture about the “next big things” and lays out paths for turning research results into standard software that will bring value to SAP and its customers.

Research also means our ambition to drive forward and shape future develop-ments in IT and business. We appreciate SAP Research’s active role in the BST innovation council, which drives and facilitates innovation across SAP’s product groups.

The remarkable achievements in research at SAP in 2009 included transfers from research into product development that leveraged existing applications for business process management and supply chain management.

The Galaxy transfer project, for example, enables business users to manage business processes in an efficient, collaborative, secure, and compliant manner. Another example of a successful research-to-product transfer is the real-world integration platform that connects SAP business systems to the devices, systems, and users in the physical world and, thus, complements the notion of the “real-time enterprise.”

User Experience

SAP Research is an important partner for SAP’s Portfolio Strategy Team. It helps to explore new tech-nologies and market requirements and translate them into priorities for SAP’s future product portfolio.

Over the last years, we have seen significant progress in collaboration across SAP’s business units. Many topics have already been transformed from research endeavors to profitable applications. For example, a new Web 3.0-style data modeling and harmonization tool was developed that works wonderfully and ad-dresses the concrete needs of SAP customers.

I am also impressed by the work being done in the area of very small enterprises in emerging economies. This research topic is very innovative and contributes well to SAP’s sus-tainability and corporate citizenship agenda.

• Pascal BrossetChief Strategy OfficerSAP AG


Public safety has been a hot topic in many countries ever since the number and strength of natural disasters brought safety and security issues to the fore-front of political and public attention. The challenge SAP is addressing is to develop IT technologies for public security–related organizations that fully address their needs in disaster manage-ment and that are secure, integrable, mobile, and flexible.

The world’s energy map is being re-shaped as new energy technologies continue to emerge and the share of decentralized power generation by both industrial and private producers increases. SAP Research is working to develop new innovative and affordable information and communication tech-nology (ICT) applications for the future energy infrastructure, including smart grids, which can help better address energy efficiency and conservation.

Technologies for emerging economies are also being developed by SAP Re-search. Research is currently underway to identify the technological needs and opportunities of developing markets and to determine appropriate solutions – including the means to their acceptance and effective utilization – for individuals and businesses, particularly small and midsize enterprises, within these regions.

Next Big ThingsThrough its exploration of these various business areas and based on the findings of its research projects, SAP Research is able to identify potential maximum-impact, next-generation technologies and applications.

digital world with the physical world made possible by the Internet of Things, products have the possibility to carry information about themselves and to communicate with one another. Entire business processes can thus be optimized, using, for example, radio-frequency identification (RFID).

Manufacturers are continuously being forced to rethink how they operate, due to various factors including changes in business models, outsourcing, and downscaling. SAP Research is working to widen the view on manufacturing in both vertical (from shop floor to user interface) and horizontal (throughout the whole value chain) dimensions. Its vision for future manufacturing is a holistic, service-oriented architecture that seamlessly integrates factory, enterprise, and supply chain in order to enable the real- world-aware, real- time enterprise in the manufacturing industry.

Raanana: Worldwide Praise for Outstanding Collaboration

Barely on its feet, the SAP Research Center Raanana has reaped worldwide praise for its initiation project and its outstanding collaboration and demon-stration at CeBIT. RESERVOIR is an IBM-led joint research initiative of 13 European partners to develop tech-nologies that help automate the fluc-tuating demand for IT resources in a cloud computing environment.

Jointly presented at CeBIT 2009, the IBM Research Lab in Haifa and SAP researchers from Raanana and Belfast demonstrated RESERVOIR’s promis-ing outcome of enabling the dynamic load-balancing of resources and SAP applications’ automatic rollover across remote sites, which is a strong enabling technology for the cloud. RESERVOIR at CeBIT proved to be a worldwide success, reaping press coverage in multiple languages around the world in leading IT, eco-nomics, and general media.

For the SAP Research Center Raanana, the project was a big initiation for a group still taking its first steps − a large-scale IP project in which they had to build a relationship with IBM Haifa and other partners, present a joint demo at a world-class confer-ence, and take part in a successful worldwide dissemination campaign, all while reaching out for office essentials, newly hired staff, and support from colleagues abroad.

2009 will definitely be re -m embered in Raanana as the RESERVOIR@CeBIT year, along with the research center’s quick setup and growth.

Cloud computing is the generic umbrella term for flexible, IT-related services, such as storage, computing power, software development environments, and appli-cations, combined with service delivery through the Internet to consumers and businesses. The main innovation is that the IT infrastructure no longer lies with the user, meaning that users can access these services without special knowl-edge. Clouds provide major opportuni-ties for new business models by restruc-turing the value chains in the information and communication industry, making cloud computing a concept that will surely change the way people work and companies operate.

The Internet of Things fuses the digital world and the physical world by bringing together different concepts and techni-cal components. Experts predict that the Internet of Things will lead to tre-mendous efficiency gains in many in-dustries, such as manufacturing and energy supply. Applications, services,

middleware components, networks, and end points will be structurally con-nected in entirely new ways. As such, pervasive networks, miniaturization of devices, mobile communication, and new models for business processes, collaboration, and lifecycle manage-ment will be further made possible.

Thanks to the Internet of Services, the opportunity to create a Web-based service industry is becoming a reality. In this type of virtual world, software providers, service providers, brokers, and users can collaborate using a service delivery platform (SDP) to build flexible and dynamically integrated

applications. The SDP supports the whole lifecycle of a service offering from its creation, introduction, and redesign with incorporated user feedback. SAP Research is looking to further explore services that can be managed through IT and, being combined, lend themselves into value- added services.

Demonstration of research results

With its high-tech strategy, the German federal government is supporting the innovation transfer between research and industry in today’s practice. The research fund-ing helps to bring together important partners for the comprehensive inte-gration of future-oriented solutions into business processes and the entire product lifecycle.

IT companies can only succeed in the international market through substantial investments in research and development and in the imple-mentation of innovative ideas. There-fore, the Internet of Things is a major focus of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research–funded projects at SAP, research institutions, and universities.

ACADEMIA AND SCIENCEENHANCING KNOWLEDGE, IMPACTING MINDS

Universities and research institutes make up a significant portion of SAP Research’s co-innovative network. Cooperation with scientific partners all over the world includes conducting collaborative research projects as well as a PhD program and various educational study options. This creates a fruitful exchange of minds and ideas that benefits all partners. Academics are provided with a real-world environment in which to apply their more fundamental research, and SAP Research in turn gains a vast volume of knowl-edge thanks to the sheer amount of talent and ideas generated through this exchange.

16 I SAP Research Report 2009/2010 I Academia and Science

A Strong Network with Academia

SAP Research is proud to work col-laboratively with over 150 universities around the world. The number and strength of its relationships with aca-demic institutions continues to grow, and both SAP Research and its aca-demic and scientific partners prosper from their cooperative endeavors. Such collaborations often begin with a joint research project and leverage an area of mutual interest in which the particu-lar academic or research institution has strong expertise.

Through their collaboration with SAP Research, university students and pro-fessors are provided with the chance to apply their research in a real-world, industrial environment. This gives life to the research they are conducting and enhances their skills and expertise while expanding their research network to industrial research partners all over the world.

Professors and researchers on sabbati-cal are regularly offered opportunities to undertake research work on SAP Research’s behalf. Students can also apply for internships at SAP Research Centers, both in their home countries and abroad. This includes recently established initiatives for students in Eastern Europe, including Russia.

SAP, universities, and research insti-tutes have further strengthened their ties thanks to the SAP Research PhD program and SAP’s global University Alliances program. Awards and grants are also provided, including the SAP Research and Innovation Award India, established in 2009 as part of a joint initiative with SAP Labs Bangalore to further promote research conducted at universities and institutes in India.

Finally, SAP researchers regularly hold seminars, lectures, summer school workshops, and conferences on topics of current interest at universities. In addition, a number of SAP Research colleagues have pursued careers in academia after their time at SAP. In 2009, colleagues went on to hold positions as professors and lecturers at universities and research institutes, including the Universität Bern in Switzer-land and the Hochschule für Technik Stuttgart, the Friedrich-Alexander- Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, and the Universität Koblenz-Landau in Germany.

SAP Research PhD Program: A Win-WinSAP views the higher education of young professionals to be an important aspect of its research work in order to develop promising talent and further generate innovation and creative ideas. Since its commencement in 2005, the SAP Research PhD program continues to attract top PhD candidates seeking to complete a technical- or business-oriented doctoral degree while being immersed in reality-based industrial research in a business context.

Through the program, which is sched-uled for three years, the postgraduate students, under the guidance of their academic supervisor and SAP Research manager, work directly on research projects within their area of study and interest belonging to one of the SAP Research portfolio programs.

The PhD boxes in this chapter present three successful doctoral students and their dissertations, representing the brilliance of all program candidates and topics.

Todor Stoitsev: “End User−Driven Business Process Composition”

How can users without a programming back- ground develop their own business applications? This question in- spired Todor Stoitsev to conduct research in end-user development at the SAP Re-search Center Darmstadt as part of the SAP Research PhD program.

Having four and a half years of pro-fessional experience as a software engineer in the field of electronic data exchange, as well as having been part of the SAP NetWeaver technology platform team at SAP Labs Bulgaria, Todor joined the EUDISMES project in Darmstadt, Germany. The project demonstrates the impact of end-user development, allowing users of soft-ware systems to create, modify, or extend a software artifact. Todor’s research has successfully pioneered these concepts, enabling end users to compose business process mod-els on their own using a high-end prototype system that has been integrated in the daily working environment of three SMEs.

Todor completed his PhD at the Technische Universität Darmstadt in less than three years and achieved excellent results. During this period, he published 10 peer-reviewed papers at highly ranked conferences, received a best paper award, and submitted four patent applications in Europe and in the United States. What accomplishments!

Academia and Science I SAP Research Report 2009/2010 I 17

There are currently around 100 PhD students participating in the program. The candidates are working on projects at the SAP Research Centers in Karls-ruhe, Dresden, Darmstadt, and Walldorf, Germany; Zurich and St. Gallen, Switzer-land; Sophia Antipolis, France; Belfast, Northern Ireland; Raanana, Israel; Sydney and Brisbane, Australia; and Pretoria, South Africa.

In 2009, 12 dissertations were success-fully completed with the honor of summa cum laude or magna cum laude. The program organizers are looking to expand the PhD program even further globally to tap into the talent pools of other countries, especially those in emerging economies, and to contribute to their talent development. The aim is to reach a level of 25 successful PhD completions per year.

Program GainsThe benefits of the PhD program are twofold. PhD candidates gain invalu-able practical experience while com-pleting a successful thesis. Thanks to its wide breadth of international projects and areas of discovery, SAP Research offers the students a broad range of opportunities for doctoral theses. Participants in the program are able to get in touch with the hottest topics and trends and build up their skills and experiences thanks to their hands-on work in real-world research projects. They also become part of SAP Research’s global network, which is closely tied to SAP’s development organizations and includes academic partners from high-ranking universities and industrial partners all over the world.

On the other hand, the PhD students are important pillars of many of SAP’s top-notch research projects and con-tribute manifold value to SAP. They play a very active role within the projects

and collaborate with both their internal colleagues and external partners and customers. SAP Research benefits greatly from the enthusiasm of the PhD candidates, whose work is directly con-nected to specific applied fields within the SAP Research portfolio. New tal-ents, ideas, patents, and technologies developed by the students are brought to SAP, its research projects, and products.

Research Topics and Postprogram CareersRecent graduates of the program focused on topics such as scalable ontological enterprise application inte-gration and e-business integration, next-generation applications, and end-user development. Further topics under investigation include business process management, business cases for the Internet of Things, security and trust, smart items and future manufacturing, and business service monitoring in the Internet of Services. In addition to these technical topics, SAP Research PhD students are also undertaking projects in areas such as innovation manage-ment and research dissemination.

Many of the program participants have gone on to work at SAP, either within SAP Research or in a development, consulting, or marketing unit. Some have taken up postdoctoral positions in the academic and research commu-nities, whereas others have started their own companies or been offered leadership roles in the IT field.

Olaf Grebner: “Using Unified Personal Information in Workspaces”

Olaf Grebner, a PhD student at the SAP Re- search Center Karls ruhe, did his research in knowledge worker support and personal information management. He tackled the personal information fragmentation problem by showing how to integrate the knowledge worker’s personal information without bothering his daily work, especially in use cases like personal task and meeting management.

Olaf’s work was conducted in the context of Nepomuk, an EU−funded project whose major result, the Nepomuk Social Semantic Desktop, is being deployed by several million users of the KDE Linux desktop man-ager. Using his expertise in knowl-edge management and collaboration topics for SAP’s Knowledge People Interaction research program, Olaf employed user-centered design methods to validate design ideas with end users early in the design process and to ensure usability.

Leveraging his research results, Olaf completed his PhD thesis on the topic “Using Unified Personal Information in Workspaces” and successfully finished his defense after only three years at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. During this time, he published over 10 scientific papers, submitted several invention disclo-sures and a patent, and supervised up to 14 students. A truly amazing achievement!

cently established relationships with universities in Eastern Europe.

To foster industrial research between Europe and Russia, the group is provid-ing Russian students with the opportu-nity to conduct their master’s theses at an SAP Research Center. The program, funded by an SAP Research grant, is designed for the students to spend six months working on a hands-on project at an SAP Research Center location, followed by three months at their home university completing their theses. Suc-cessful participants of the program are also potential candidates for the SAP Research PhD program. In 2009, students from the State University – Higher School of Economics in Moscow and the St. Petersburg State Polytechnical University participated in the program and took part in collab-orative projects with researchers from the SAP Research Center Karlsruhe and the SAP Research Center St. Gallen.

Also in 2009, SAP Research was pleased to host interns from Macedonia as part of the Zoran Djindjić Intern-ship Program. The program, estab-lished by the Eastern Committee of

German Economy in cooperation with the German Federal Ministry of Eco-nomic Cooperation and Development and the Zoran Djindjić Fund, offers young professionals of the Western Balkans the opportunity to gain prac-tical and cultural experience by com-pleting a three- to six-month internship at leading German companies.

Academic Awards and GrantsEstablished in 2009, the SAP Research and Innovation Award India provides research projects conducted at leading Indian universities and research institutes with funding for 12 months and the oppor-tunity to cooperate with SAP Research and SAP Labs. Five projects were se-lected and awarded research grants. During the projects’ one-year duration, the award recipients collaborate on an ongoing basis with SAP Research and its partners.

Thanks to the program, academics in India are provided with a platform for turning their ideas into applied busi-ness projects. This is just one example of how SAP Research and SAP Labs are further encouraging co-innovation and fruition of new ideas from academia in the Indian IT ecosystem.

In academic institutions, we often do not get to learn the practical side of a problem. SAP Research provides me with such an opportunity. SAP has a lot of leverage in the area of text analytics. This leverage has enriched me with new insights on the practical aspects. We are now designing algorithms for such purposes. Going forward, we would like to make the present setup mathemati-cally more rigorous so that it yields better understanding of the problem statement which in turn might give superior results.

Sophia Antipolis: Summer School on Privacy in Web 2.0

Enjoying online communities, like Facebook or LinkedIn, poses greater and greater privacy dilemmas. Blog-ging and social networking encour-age citizens to share very personal information, leaving long-lasting digi-tal traces that can be used for mali-cious or commercial uses without the users’ or the platform providers’ consent.

The EU-funded project PrimeLife aims to develop privacy tools so that European citizens can safeguard personal information in their online activities.

Within PrimeLife and in collaboration with the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP), the SAP Research Center Sophia Antip-olis coorganized the Privacy and Iden tity Management for Life sum-mer school. The summer school took place September 14–18, 2009, and was a major highlight of the re-search center.

Worldwide experts in technical, le-gal, regulatory, socioeconomic, and ethical aspects of privacy gathered together with young researchers for five days in Nice, France, to discuss innovative approaches for privacy.

Not surprising, no panacea solution was found, but a consensus on the need for a holistic approach was established. Advanced technologies, such as anonymous credentials and distributed identity management systems, have to coevolve with the regulatory framework, easy-to-use interfaces, and education of users on their privacy rights.

this. This allows for more precise speci-fications, effective testing, and auto-mated validation of software, which can lead to more complete and consistent quality in software development with less manual steps in testing and correcting. Formal methods can also be used to prove that software works as defined and contains no unknown errors or bugs.

SAP Research is investigating how for-mal methods can be applied to business software and, specifically, to SAP prod-ucts. Formal specifications have already been used in several SAP internal pilots.

A major challenge in the practice of for-mal methods is making them accessi-ble to the nonexpert, by reducing the complexity of the modeling task and increasing the degree of verification automation. Being precise initially re-quires a great deal of effort. Despite the added labor, however, SAP Re-search is convinced of the benefits of these methods and has seen how the extra work can pay off in later stages of development. The group is providing the academic community feedback and ideas on their improvement and ease of application.

Basic Research Paves the Way

Collaboration with universities and research institutes forms an essential foundation for SAP Research to improve its innovative solutions and to help facili-tate the adoption of new technologies. While SAP Research is focusing mainly on industrial research, collaborative projects usually involve basic research that is led by academic partners with a valuable contribution from industries. SAP Research has forged links with universities and research institutes that provide SAP access to state-of-the-art research and opportunities to apply and further develop new models, methods, and results. This collaboration also leads to the improvements of theories and methods, demonstrating firsthand the value industrial research brings to academia.

Enhancing Software QualityThe software industry as a whole, in-cluding SAP, is looking for ways to im-prove quality. Formal methods used to precisely capture and reason about characteristics of software and systems using formal languages and mathemati-cal concepts are one means to achieve

Anja Klein: “Data Quality in Sensor Data Streams”

Sensor data streams are used in a wide range of application domains to automate and optimize business processes (for example, production lines at the shop floor, predictive maintenance activities, and energy management). Realizing the data management challenges imposed by streaming data and the Internet of Things, Anja Klein investi-gated sensor data stream quality as one of the first PhD candidates at the SAP Research Center Dresden.

Throughout the course of her work, Anja gained technical expertise that she applied both in transfer projects and publicly funded projects, includ-ing PROMISE and SoKNOS. She gained expert knowledge in database systems and streaming engines, such as PostgreSQL and the PIPES data stream management system. She also learned and applied user inter-face technologies, most notably the Web Dynpro development environ-ment and Microsoft Silverlight. In ad-dition, Anja managed a major work package on identity resolution tech-niques for an internal transfer project.

Parallel to her project contributions and the submission of various publi-cations and five invention disclosure forms, Anja finished her PhD with magna cum laude at the Technische Universität Dresden after little more than three and a half years. Congratulations!

code or technical specifics when devel-oping new software. This can simplify the development process, enhance transparency, and improve communica-tion across development teams.

SAP Research is working on tools for supporting developers and nontechni-cal users with regard to nonfunctional requirements, such as the impact of their design decisions on performance. Late identification of performance prob-lems can lead to significant additional development costs. Therefore, it is necessary to address performance within the development phases of a software solution, especially when complex software applications are built.

SAP Research implemented performance-related decision support as an extension of MDE, named model-driven performance engineering

The DEPLOY project explores the oppor-tunities and requirements of deploying formal methods in different industry sectors, including automotive, business information, and transportation. SAP Research is collaborating with partners from industry and academia − for ex-ample, Bosch, Siemens Transportation Systems, Space Systems Finland, Newcastle University, the University of Southampton, Åbo Akademi Uni-versity, the Heinrich-Heine-Universität in Düsseldorf, and the Swiss Institute of Technology – ETHZ.

Improving Performance Engineering and TestingThe idea of model-driven engineering (MDE) concepts is to focus on domain concepts rather than on the software

Reliable Software in Service-Oriented ArchitecturesDistributed systems are a major re-search topic related to the application of formal methods. Service-oriented architectures (SOAs) can help master the complexity of running these system landscapes. However, the use of SOAs also proves to be a challenge. Since they form loosely coupled systems that communicate through services, SOAs constitute rather complex interaction protocols, and flaws in the implementa-tion of these protocols may easily lead to errors. Developers in these areas can benefit from formal engineering meth-ods that include tools that automatically check whether software specifications contain faults or gaps. This will lead to big improvements in system depend-ability and development efficiency.

In a pilot project, research was conduct-ed on verifying application-level require-ments in specifications of interaction protocols, or so-called message chore-ography models. The Event-B formal-ism and the open Rodin tool platform were used to prove models of business protocols and expose weaknesses in particular protocols with respect to cer-tain middleware configurations. Further-more, the automatic generation of inte-gration tests from these models was developed. These tools are being field-tested and adapted for a range of in-dustrial engineering processes. In this pilot, formal models are automatically created out of established or emerging industrial modeling notations. This opens up the possibility of seamlessly inte-grating formal methods with current development environments.

onymity, and nonrepudiation. Estab-lishing these properties in open and evolving enterprise software landscapes requires both innovative technologies and methodologies.

One key aspect of security is that even a few critical ambiguities in standard specifications can easily lead to flaws. SAP Research has recognized the essential role of formal methods in the success of security technologies. The group is using these methods to identify loopholes in core security protocols widely considered to be key enablers for emerging trends such as SOA, software as a service (SaaS), and Web 2.0.

The AVANTSSAR (Automated VAlidatioN of Trust and Security of Service-oriented ARchitectures) project creates a plat-form that provides an automated tool set for validating trust and security aspects of service-oriented architec-tures. SAP researchers and project partners are developing the first formal language for reasoning about and spec-ifying trust and security properties of services, their associated security poli-cies, and their composition into service archi tectures. SAP Research is pushing to have these techniques made avail-able to a few targeted industrial envi-ronments, providing access to persons who have no expertise in formal methods.

Results from the project are being ap-plied to the SAP NetWeaver technology platform and will be migrated to industry and standardization organizations, help-ing to enhance the security and robust-ness of network and service infrastruc-tures and increase the public’s trust in

(MDPE). MDPE offers synchronization mechanisms between development and performance analysis models and allows the integration of analysis results into the development process, enabling performance-related decision support.

Research on this topic is being partly conducted in the MODELPLEX project, which focuses on MDE approaches and tools with the goal of making them suitable for complex system develop-ment. Partners include research groups from other companies and research organizations, such as the Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et Auto matique (INRIA), the University of York, the Technische Universität Braunschweig, the Technische Univer-sität Dresden, and the Fraunhofer Insti-tute for Open Communication Systems (FOKUS).

Security and Trust in Service- Oriented ArchitecturesThe Internet is a complex world and, as such, is not free of risk. Computer viruses, phishing attacks, and identity theft are common problems that any Internet user can encounter. As more and more enterprises are conducting business virtually over the Web, it is imperative that their ICT infrastruc-tures and applications are secure. This relates to a broad range of secu-rity aspects that, as a con sequence of open environments and service ar-chitectures like those for e-business, e-commerce, and e-government, can-not be restricted. These aspects include authenticity, authorization, integrity, con-fidentiality, privacy, anonymity, pseud-

As a computer scientist, I am at the interface between basic research and industrial applications and innovations. The cooperation with companies like SAP helps to strengthen the foundation-oriented research of academic institutions and creates new impulses for the teaching. At the same time, companies benefit from the progress made in basic research − for example, in the case of new development and quality assurance methods for software.

The most successful cooperation occurs when both needs – the abstract knowledge of methods and the specific issue – flow into mutual projects.

by establishing an electronically sup-ported end-to-end supply chain. How-ever, many organizations are reluctant to reveal sensitive data about their operations and financials to partner companies due to the risks associated with exposing this private information to potential competitors.

Secure computation will enable business partners to receive all the benefits from collaborative supply chains without hav-ing to disclose critical and valuable in-formation. Secure computation allows parties to compute any function so that only the result is revealed and the private inputs are kept secret. The challenge is to find efficient schemes for specific complex classes of functions.

Secure CollaborationConcerns exist about data sharing in supply chains that can be addressed with new or advanced cryptographic techniques. Businesses are aware that massive cost savings can be achieved

Current methodologies for evaluation of security vulnerability are manual and intuitive and do not permit the combinational discipline required to evaluate the security of complex sys-tems. Systems of formal validation like AVANTSSAR directly address some of these core problems and are extremely important, not only theo-retically but at a very practical level. AVANTSSAR has already discovered a fundamental vulnerability in the pro-tocol implementation of an important industry player. There is no doubt that this kind of technology should become an integral tool for the de-sign of distributed systems.

Collaboration between researchers, between researchers and industry, and between industry players is key not only to advancing research but to advancing the state of security on the Internet.

AVANTSSAR Finds the Flaw

Given the breadth of the Internet and the variety of possible threats, guaran-teeing the security of an IT application is not an easy feat. It is not sufficient to analyze the application in isolation; it is necessary to consider all worst-case scenarios in the overall environment in which the application is used. Attackers are clearly the major component of complexity, as they have at their disposal many capabilities to attempt to break in (malicious exploits are even freely downloadable from the Web). The SAP Research team and AVANTSSAR project partners showed that advanced tool support to identify security pitfalls is imperative, as it can spot mistakes that might have been overlooked by human eyes.

The team chose one of Google’s flagship products as the target for a validation case study: the SAML-based single sign-on (SSO) solution for Google Apps Premier Edition package. This service allows partner companies to provide their employees and users direct and transparent access to popular Web-based Google applications by signing into the system once instead of for each service. The OASIS Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) 2.0 Web browser SSO profile is the emerging standard in this context.

The formal models of the protocol used by Google were mechanically analyzed with SATMC (SAT-based model checker), a state-of-the-art model checker for security protocols, leading to the discovery of a major security vulnerability. The discovered flaw would allow a dishonest service provider to impersonate a client at another service provider.

In an SAML SSO setting, a client (“C”) is authenticated to consume a service from a service provider (“SP”) by means of a digitally signed SAML assertion issued by a trusted third-party identity provider (“IdP”). This signed assertion contains C, IdP, SP, and a string ID uniquely identifying the request made by the client and testifies that IdP has successfully authenticated C for the request ID submitted to SP. This cryptographic bundle should be tamper proof and allows the SP to securely offer its services.

Unfortunately, in the SAML specifications used by Google, both the ID string and the SP identifier were absent from the cryptographic bundle, opening up the potential for identity theft or privacy violation. The discovery was kept confidential until Google developed a patch and Google’s customers updated their applications accordingly.

This demonstrates how even basic research – for example, in the area of formal specification and automated validation – have a significant and immediate im-pact in the real world. SAP Research is consulting SAP’s development teams to apply this innovative technology to SAP’s own software.


CUSTOMERS AND PARTNERSINCREASING THE LEAD WITH CO-INNOVATION

Co-innovation is at the core of SAP Research’s business model. This is why SAP reaches out to a variety of customers and partners to share visions and ideas about the future of IT and to develop prototypes for software solutions long before they turn into products. Since new technologies and business innovations go hand in hand, SAP Research collaborates with both technology partners and customers from various industries around the world. This diversity translates into a rich abundance of research projects and early insights into new technology trends and business opportunities. As such, SAP, its partners, and its customers are able to adopt new technologies faster and to increase their lead in competitive markets.

Leveraging Competitiveness Through Collaboration

SAP Research is committed to creating value for its customers and partners. Through joint efforts, applied research is conducted that explores new tech-nologies and business models that lead to breakthrough solutions. All research projects are driven by the mutual inter-est of the project partners to bring together their expertise – be it in hard-ware, software, business processes, or knowledge of target groups.

Some of the research conducted is directly related to SAP’s products and is done in close cooperation with SAP’s product groups. SAP customers are involved as research partners or early adopters of the new technologies – for example, within the SAP Research’s living labs concept. This ensures that the research is customer driven throughout SAP’s overall business model.

Other research areas explore complete-ly new concepts, such as the “Future Internet,” which includes the Internet of Things, Internet of Services, cloud com-puting, social media, and Web-based

business process management. This research is organized through long-term research agendas together with technol-ogy partners. Such strategic alliances provide insights into the midterm future and open doors to new markets.

Business opportunities are continuous-ly addressed through internal transfer projects impacting SAP’s product groups and spin-off enterprises from SAP re-searchers as well as new companies formed together with partners.

Strategic Research RelationshipsIn 2009, SAP Research strengthened its ties with IBM and Intel, continuing multiyear partnerships with both com-panies, each with an established re-search agenda. The research covers such promising fields as smart items, green IT, energy management, cloud computing, and solutions for small busi-nesses, microbusinesses, and midsize companies. The collaboration includes regular bilateral workshops, joint propos-als for publicly funded research proj-ects, and projects conducted together with additional partners. One aim is to align hardware and software research to enable better technology integration between the respective architectures.

SAP Research Wows Customers and Partners at CeBIT 2009

One aspect of customer-partner collaboration is sharing insights into research with relevant stakeholders and the wider public. One major event is CeBIT, the annual leading trade fair for the information and communication technology industry.

At CeBIT 2009, SAP Research showed, among other topics, the SoKNOS crisis management system along with the TEXO Services to go! application to German chancel -lor Angela Merkel and California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. This scenario showed how, with new technologies, a big city could properly manage a flood disaster in the future. More on SoKNOS and TEXO is avail-able in Chapter 4.

Additional demos focused on the major themes of CeBIT 2009, Web-ciety and Green IT, and presented energy-efficient IT (project RESER-VOIR) and the prototype of a new in-telligent energy market (MEREGIO), as well as insights into solutions for inte grated CO2 management.

Once again, SAP’s potential future solutions were made into tangible experiences through comprehensive demonstrators and were very well received by CeBIT attendees.

Cloud computing is currently one of the focus areas for both partnerships. SAP Research held two cloud comput-ing workshops with researchers from Intel and four online conferences with IBM in 2009. Another visible sign of the close partnership with Intel is the Collaboratory, which SAP Research and Intel opened in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in October 2009. The focus of the joint research center is on cloud computing and sustainable IT.

Moves Toward Closer CooperationSAP Research also increased its coop-erative efforts with the Meraka Institute of the Council for Scientific and Indus-trial Research in South Africa. SAP Research and the SAP Meraka Unit for Technology Development moved to a new common office space in May 2009. This intensified the existing collaboration between both institutions that spans from industry solutions for very small businesses to ICT for emerging economies and customer-centric design.

Belfast: SAP-Intel Collaboratory Opened

On October 19, 2009, SAP Research Belfast officially opened the SAP-Intel Collaboratory, a co-located research collaboration at SAP’s Research Center at the Titanic Quarter in Belfast. The Collaboratory is a new joint research venture focusing on the topics of cloud computing and sustainable IT. These projects are designed to support the ICT challenges set by the European Commission.

The Collaboratory builds upon a history of successful collaborations between SAP and Intel, including the Co-Innovation Lab (COIL) in Palo Alto, California, the LinuxLab in Wall-dorf, Germany, and the Innovation Value Institute at the National Univer-sity of Ireland. Additionally, through the Collaboratory, SAP Research will work with academic institutions such as Queens University and the University of Ulster to help develop more relevant research projects and aims to emerge as a leader of enter-prise thinking in Europe.

To celebrate this new chapter for SAP and Intel, Arlene Foster, minister of enterprise, trade, and investment for Northern Ireland, and more than 70 employees and partners attended the official inauguration ceremony. The event included keynote speeches from Justin Rattner, vice president and CTO of Intel Corporation, and Prof. Dr. Lutz Heuser, exec -utive vice president and head of SAP Research, SAP AG.

Common ground for co-innovation was also formed in India, where SAP and Tata Consultancy Services agreed to conduct joint research projects. Tata Consultancy has already been a key partner of SAP in India and other major markets for years. Identified research areas include model-driven architecture and integration of enterprise data, Web 2.0, the Internet of Services, and the Internet of Things.

New Businesses for New MarketsSince industrial research is aimed at developing new business opportuni-ties and exploring new markets, re-search must be transformed continu-ously into products that deliver results. One method for achieving this is internal transfer projects that enrich and expand SAP’s existing solution portfolio.

In addition, SAP Research supports spin-off enterprises, which allow researchers to build up their own busi-nesses and enter SAP’s strong partner ecosystem. In some cases, the new companies are found to further exploit new technologies and business oppor-tunities on a larger scale.

In 2009, for example, SAP and Nokia, together with the German-based tech-nology provider Giesecke & Devrient, announced a joint venture named Original1, which aims to improve global brand protection.

Tangible Experiences Living labs are a new paradigm for technological research. This concept is designed to boost open innovation with customers, partners, developers, and SAP researchers throughout the research and development process of new products and services. The con-cept involves demonstrating techno-logical research in real-world settings, turning prospective SAP solutions into tangible experiences. Their feedback, in turn, has a direct impact on the re-search and development process.

Our continuous dialogue with SAP Research helps us to understand what is happening in the world of IT research. I appreciate the open discussions that span from technol-ogy to business models, which are becoming more and more important as ICT influences our daily lives.

SAP and Intel are pursuing research together − for example, in the areas of the Internet of Things and cloud computing − driven by joint research projects and the newly established SAP and Intel Collaboratory.

• Justin RattnerCTOIntel Corporation


Since 2001 the European Union has been supporting this concept, with over 50 living labs run by public-private part-nerships throughout Europe. SAP Re-search has developed three living lab locations in Germany and Switzerland and is applying this methodology to the field of emerging economies in South Africa. The motto “SAP to touch and explore” best describes these efforts.

Future Factory InitiativeManaged by the SAP Research Center Dresden, the Future Factory Initiative is a joint effort between SAP Research and industrial and academic partner organizations to develop new ideas for facilitating manufacturing operations. Key projects currently address different topics, including:• Real-world integration – Seamless

real-time integration of business management systems with physical devices and processes in the real world

• Adaptive manufacturing software – Highly configurable software infra-structure for building process-specific solutions for manufacturing opera-tions management

• Innovative user interaction – Tech-nology and infrastructure for building highly intuitive user interfaces for shop floor workers, foremen, and plant managers

Future Retail CenterThe Future Retail Center, located in Regensdorf, Switzerland, is managed by SAP Research Switzerland. It is a joint effort between SAP Research, industrial partners, and academic orga-nizations to foster research and devel-opment in retail, wholesale, consumer packaged goods, and logistics.

Original1 Improves Global Brand Protection

In these times of faked medicines and aircraft parts, counterfeiting has become one of the most challenging problems of our society. Original1 delivers unique product authentica-tion and anticounterfeiting services across the globe. These services are aimed at protecting companies and consumers in a wide range of industries from product piracy and counterfeiting, thereby maintaining brand values, revenue potentials, and profitability of branded goods. Original1 is headquartered in Frank-furt am Main, Germany.

The services provided rely on SAP technology and solutions, while Nokia delivers mobile authentica-tion software. The software allows businesses to follow a branded product’s entire lifecycle, from a factory to the end customer, using mobile devices. Giesecke & Devrient’s contribution to Original1 consists of security solutions for the entire value chain. This comprises user authentication, end-to-end encryption of the information flow, and database encryption. The solu-tion covers the complete sales and logistics supply chain by protect-ing products and related product packaging by tagging them with intelligent, tamper-proof, serialized product codes.

The new Original1 technology and services will crack down on product counterfeiting worldwide, benefiting producers and consumers alike.

Smart items have fostered many visionary business cases in the manufacturing sector. In collabora-tion with SAP, our company tests new scenarios that interlink the shop floor level of a manufacturing enterprise with higher hierarchies of management software.

This will open up new possibilities to optimize the production process. Examples are energy and condition monitoring systems improving effi-ciency of energy and reduction of downtimes. One challenge is the preparation and integration of such high-quality data into enterprise management systems.

technologies can enable the complete visibility and traceability of handling units along the supply chain. These systems and technologies can be used to automate and optimize end-to-end processes, from production to the sales floor, to the customer, and beyond. As a result, visualization of in-store stock and automatic replenishment processes may be realized in the future. This will generate an enormous benefit to consumers and businesses.

One major goal of the Future Retail Center is to improve customer expe-rience while optimizing in-store pro-cesses with intelligent deployment of IT and SAP systems. This living lab is exploring new technologies like store navigation and payment via mobile devices.

Another goal is to find out how RFID systems, sensor-based systems, and other information and communication

Dresden: Future Factory – From a Local Initiative to a Global Undertaking

One highlight for the SAP Research Center Dresden was the successful rollout of its Future Factory Living Lab to a diverse span of stakeholders, raising its status from a local initiative to a global undertaking.

After its launch in 2008, the Future Factory Initiative (FFI) focused on illustrating research results through real-world demonstrators, testing prototypes in a fully SAP-enabled manufacturing environment, and providing a platform for information exchange among its partners. Dur-ing 2009 this focus was extended to support SAP’s field organization with the hosting of customer and partner events as well as with engaging customers in the research projects conducted at the Future Factory. In total, the lab was visited by more than 700 guests throughout the year.

On a regional level, the FFI has gained the interest of the Saxony Ministry of Labor and Economics. It has also been well integrated into the research conducted through the Digital Prod-uct Memory Alliance funded by the German government.

Finally, on a global scale, the FFI is engaging with international compa-nies, including Intel, Microsoft, and, most recently, Mitsubishi Electric. Mitsubishi Electric, for example, indicated interest in a closer collaboration between the FFI and its e-Factory Center in Nagoya, Japan, exchanging know-how and replicating parts at both centers.

SAP Research South Africa and the SAP Meraka Unit for Technology Develop-ment are addressing SAP product and service improvement and/or adaptation and the initiation of new services and products that are likely to unlock the vast market potential of emerging economy countries. Researchers pay special attention to technology infrastructure, usage, application, and economics.

This state-of-the-art technology is being tested and demonstrated in a real-world environment at the Future Retail Center, thanks to partners like MIGROS, Swit-zerland’s largest retailer.


Future Public Security CenterThe Future Public Security Center, located at the SAP Research Center Darmstadt, is a joint effort between SAP Research and academic partners and future users to create user-oriented solutions for civil protection and emergency response. It is designed to experiment with technologies that impact IT support during major disas-ters and crisis management.

The Future Public Security Center pro-vides insight into future concepts for disaster and emergency management. One of the center’s highlights is the multitouch wall, which provides a pre-cise and most up-to-date picture of the situation and enables multiuser interac-tion. Such multifunctional walls could be the tool for the “workplace of the future” in the public security sector. One research project currently featured in the Future Public Security Center is SoKNOS. SoKNOS strives to create solutions that allow clear-sighted, fast, and effective action in a catastrophic event. Further information about SoKNOS can be found in Chapter 4.

tion about objects in the physical world and use the information in various ap-plications. The collection of information about the objects’ and goods’ origin, location, movements, physical proper-ties, usage history, and context can help enterprises improve both existing intra- and intercompany business pro-cesses and also create new ones.

Needs within a variety of sectors can be addressed, such as medical systems to monitor our well-being, support for the safe and independent living of all citizens, intelligent traffic management, improved environmental monitoring, and adaptive energy management.


Digital Product MemoryThroughout its lifecycle, a product passes through many different stations, ranging from its creation to sales and maintenance to exploitation. In order to enable the connection to the different business processes involved, the con-nection between the describing infor-mation and the object has to be main-tained across long stretches of time and diverse IT environments. One way to tackle this dilemma is to embed the information in the product itself.

The concept of digital product memory employs global services from the Inter-net of Things in order to improve access to product-related information. The Inter-net of Things is being used to address the individual product’s memory and its ability to carry infor-mation about itself and communicate this information to other objects and the world around it.

Improving the Way Companies Do Business

A large part of SAP Research’s project portfolio focuses on finding new tech-nologies and solutions that can be used to help enterprises run more efficiently and to create new business opportuni-ties. In the past years, the Internet be-came one key tool to develop such possibilities. By pushing the capabilities of the Internet even further, the way in which products are manufactured, re-tailed, and purchased is being revolu-tionized. In addition, new ways in which companies can better manage their business processes and run their en-terprise applications more efficiently and securely are also being developed. The applications that result from these research projects benefit not only the businesses that run them; they are also designed to improve the experience of the business user.

The Internet of ThingsThe Internet of Things is one of SAP Research’s main fields of focus. Over the past couple of years, SAP has been continually developing its vision of how the Internet can reach out to the real world of physical objects. The Internet of Things fuses the digital and physical worlds by bringing different concepts and technical components together: pervasive networks, miniaturization of devices, mobile communication, and new models for business processes. Applications, services, middleware components, networks, and end points will be structurally connected in entirely new ways. As such, the concept will have an impact on many traditional in-dustries, such as retail, manufacturing, and logistics.

The core idea behind the Internet of Things is to seamlessly gather informa-

Switzerland: SAP Research Explores Future Insurance

Embarking upon a new research field, future insurance, was a great high-light for SAP Research Switzerland. SAP researchers, together with the Universität St. Gallen and the ETH Zurich, successfully set up this new research field for SAP Research Switzerland and managed to produce presentable results. One of these results is a mobile claims manage-ment demonstrator that shows the benefit for the insurance industry.

The demo “Mobile Claims Assistance” shows the integration of a Blackberry Storm device with enterprise services provided by the SAP® Claims Man-agement application. Based on the application scenario of a car accident, the demo illustrates how end users can report an insurance claim using their mobile phone (GPS coordinates and pictures taken from the accident can be sent via the application) and how they can benefit from location-based services (for example, interac-tive navigation to the next auto repair garage, towing services, or car rental).

The demo was well received by the market and within the group’s newly set-up network of insurance industries.

SAP Research Switzerland is proud of this accomplishment that its research-ers, in close collaboration with partners from academia and industry, were able to achieve.

In addition to optimizing access to the stored knowledge, information about products from all available sources can be collected, compiled, and presented in a user-friendly manner within one comprehensive knowledge base. Be-cause information about a company’s individual products is scattered over various sources − office documents, manuals, e-mails, and databases as well as Web 2.0 resources like blogs, wikis, or forums − locating and tracking this data is a tedious and time-consuming

task. Using semantics, implicit informa-tion about the supply chain and product lifecycle can be derived from the various explicit heterogeneous sources, inte-grated, and provided on a platform to end users with a personalized view of the data.

SAP Research is working on develop-ing digital product memory technologies through its participation in the ADiWa, Aletheia, and SemProM projects. SemProM focuses on the individual

Enabled with the respective technology, the product will know, for example, where it has been produced or what day it has been sold. It can therefore provide the (control) system with real-time information. With these technolo-gies, manufacturing processes can be streamlined to enhance customer ser-vices (for example, mobile product rec-ommendations) and, more generally, to bridge the gap between the devices in the real world, business management systems, and users of these systems.

SAP Research, along with its project partners, is developing mechanisms that allow the information in the digital product memory to be seen by both companies and customers in the out-side world. Via the Internet of Things, services provide the foundation for new software-as-a-service business models. Furthermore, it is planned to explore mechanisms which help to select, design, guide, and even develop business processes from scratch.

Darmstadt: ADiWa Launched at BMBF Research Day

On Thursday, February 5, 2009, Andreas Storm, the parliamentary secretary of state at the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), officially marked the start of ADiWa, an alliance for the digital flow of goods, in Darmstadt, Germany. The German government−sponsored research project aims to drive the digitalization of flows of goods, ultimately creating universal data collection and analysis, so that companies and consumers can, in the future, tap into all the advantages of the Internet of Things.

By forming ADiWa, Germany’s lead-ing software companies plan to make this trend accessible to enter-prises and customers. The SAP Re-search Center Darmstadt is coordi-nating and conducting research with partners from the business and aca-demic worlds to optimize business processes by making them completely digital. Researchers are looking into technologies for business applications that design, execute, and control complex and dynamic business pro-cesses using the Internet of Things.

The project is part of the high-tech strategy that the German federal government has adopted to trans-form Germany into one of the most research-friendly countries in the world. The SAP Research Center Darmstadt is glad to participate in and lead this important project.

Business Grids“Business grid” is a term that SAP Research has coined to describe the IT infrastructure and management tools required to run enterprise applications in a secure, dependable, efficient, and transparent way. A huge benefit can be provided for customers and partners with business grids. They reduce oper-ational costs by optimizing efficiency and resource consumption in terms of technical (compute, storage, and network), environmental (power), and human (manual operational effort) re-sources. They provide transparent and holistic understanding to system provid-ers by enabling end-to-end management approaches, by integrating governance measures into the management proce-dures, and by operating the IT as a busi-ness (IT ERP). Finally, business grids simplify the usage of IT systems by automating procedures and increasing autonomy, thus eventually allowing for highly flexible and adaptive operations.

One facet of business grids is cloud computing.

Cloud ComputingCloud computing enables the provision of IT and software as a service rather than a product. Cloud computing is changing the way people work and companies operate, allowing digital technology to penetrate all dimensions of the economy and society. It facili-tates access and empowers individuals and small companies to participate in the information economy on par with large companies. Large companies may also use cloud computing more often to reduce operational costs, particularly those of their IT systems. While expos-ing both data and code to a third party rather than keeping them in-house cre-ates a different set of vulnerabilities to those that companies are used to today, the security models of cloud computing are being further developed, and cloud computing will certainly give companies a competitive edge.

Using the Web as a platform, services will be a fundamental element of the online economy and will underlie virtu-ally all business and government ac-tivities, such as electronic commerce within and across organizational bound-aries, enterprise applications, telecom-munication systems, energy and utilities, healthcare, travel and entertainment, and more. Through virtualization and cloud computing, the notion of a service-based online economy is becoming a reality.

Virtualization technologies, meaning applications or machinery that is emu-lated on a computer or a network, help realize more adaptive infrastructures. Virtualization is a key enabler of cloud computing because it assists data centers in managing their resources more efficiently. SAP Research is en-gaged with leading industrial partners, such as HP, IBM, and Intel, along with renowned academic partners from the

With all the skepticism about cloud computing, IBM and SAP demon-strated at CeBit 2009 how clients can run their enterprise applications in the cloud, including the migration of workloads across physical servers and across data centers, based on the EU-funded RESERVOIR cloud computing project. These types of examples are sorely needed to convince the industry that the cloud is ready.

Together we are also contributing to IBM’s vision of a smarter planet, which is based on objects that are interconnected, integrated, and intelli-gent. When it comes to things like food supply chains, SAP is doing a lot of the point connections between farm to truck to shelf to consumer, thus bringing part of the vision to reality.

in technology. Companies’ ability to adapt and prosper in such an environ-ment is dependent, to a great degree, on how they handle the flow of new information and tie it in with their busi-ness objectives through the use of information technology. This is business process management. Within this re-search program, SAP Research is con-tributing to the crystallization of busi-ness processes and improving existing SAP solutions by augmenting product-specific research and development efforts with applied academic research.

Thanks to the improvement of business process management technologies, SAP’s customers can run their busi-nesses better. SAP Research works directly with a number of customers, including the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Australia Post, and Unilever, to further drive its efforts in this area. The group played a successful role in the SAP-internal Galaxy transfer project, thus in part contributing to the SAP NetWeaver Business Process Management (SAP NetWeaver BPM) component that was put on the market in 2009.

With the new version of SAP NetWeaver BPM, companies can implement busi-ness processes – for requests, posting, and approval, for example – without major additional programming effort. This type of process composition used to require considerable manual work by IT consultants to harmonize services and match and map each of the partner fields between the interfaces involved. The system now automatically identifies which fields are highly likely to match, including name, address, currency, and date fields. The user is only required to check that the suggested field pairs do

Electronics Top Technology Cluster in the Rhine-Neckar region of Germany. This is one of five clusters throughout the country supported by Germany’s Federal Ministry of Education and Research. The initiative will take place over the next five years with the aim of creating a “German Silicon Valley” by bringing together the forces of researchers and businesses. Clusters were selected by a special jury based on their potential, innovative strategy, and practical approach, combining financial participation from businesses and private investors.

Organic electronics explores the use of new organic materials that are eco-friendly, easy to recycle, and printable. This field makes innovative applications possible, particularly in areas where electronic components need to be produced more cheaply and in larger quantities. One example scenario is a smart package for meat that registers and displays the surrounding temper ature to which the meat has been exposed − important information for vendors, distributors, government authorities, and, of course, end consumers.

In the Polytos project, the first project in the cluster, academia (for example, the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) and business (for example, BASF, Heidel-berger Druckmaschinen, and Merck) have come together to investigate the growth potential of organic electronics.

grid community to explore how this vision can lead to actual solutions for SAP’s portfolio.

Virtualization and cloud computing are two of the technology trends that give rise to the expectation that business grids can be made a reality in the near future. SAP Research is investigating how these technologies can be used to reduce the total cost of ownership of existing IT and application landscapes as well as how future applications can be enhanced to take maximum advan-tage of scalable cloud resources. The current research considers areas such as performance engineering, depen-dency tracing, distributed monitoring, scalability, and security.

The RESERVOIR project is working to develop breakthrough systems and service technologies that will serve as the infrastructure for cloud computing. SAP researchers and other project partners are achieving this goal through the creative coupling of virtualization and business service management techniques. SLA@SOI also has the vision of a business-ready service- oriented infrastructure empowering the service economy in a flexible and dependable way. The project is con-tributing to the further evolution toward a service-oriented economy where IT-based services can be flexibly traded as economic goods.

Researchers also collaborated with the SAP NetWeaver development team to go one step further and develop Gravity, a new business process management function within Google Wave. The tool provides real-time, cloud-based col-laborative BPM technology to create models that can be imported into SAP NetWeaver BPM.

All of these functions help companies realize their vision of service-oriented architecture (SOA). With this technology, customers can save both time and mon-ey by easily modeling and implementing their own specific business processes on the basis of existing standard software – and react more quickly to market changes.

actually match – a process that obviously takes much less time than manually scrolling through the long lists of fields to find the right pairs.

Pattern matching is, however, just one example of a research transfer into the product. In cooperation with universities and, even more closely, with SAP’s product developers, SAP Researchers in Dresden, Karlsruhe, Darmstadt, Belfast, Sophia Antipolis, and Brisbane were responsible for developments ranging from tools for standardized business process modeling to functions that automatically identify potential security flaws in flexibly configured business processes. This cooperation resulted in the incorporation of their ideas into product development.

Gravity Prototype Makes Big Waves

Gravity is a prototype developed by the SAP Research Center Brisbane and the SAP NetWeaver® technology platform development team, provid-ing real-time, cloud-based collabor-ative business process modeling within Google Wave. Google Wave is a collaboration platform combining features of e-mail, social networking, wikis, and instant messaging into one integrated browser-based client.

SAP embedded Gravity is a Google Wave gadget that can be added within the Wave client, run in a Web browser, and added to any wave. Leveraging the collaborative features of Google Wave, all business pro-cess modeling activities are pub-lished in real time to all other wave participants.

In addition to the real-time notification of model content changes to wave participants, Gravity has collabora-tion features, including color coding for each modeler, version tracking, and asynchronous and synchronous editing. It also enables robots − auto-mated components acting as wave participants − to be leveraged to syn-tactically correct the model on the fly. Models can then be exported using BPMN 2.0 XML and imported into the SAP NetWeaver Business Pro-cess Management component for further refinement and execution.

Gravity proves how new technology can be systematically leveraged to facilitate what business process management is really about: user collaboration within and across departments of one or more organizations.

Gravity impresses both Google and the general public

regular scientific papers and publica-tions share project results and research findings on topics of critical interest to public and private bodies in the it field. the researchers also play a major role at scientific conferences and assemblies throughout the year. in addition to giving demonstrations of their research results, they serve on a number of expert panels and provide keynotes at several events in the it area and beyond.

Shaping Research Agendasas an active participant in eu-supported projects consortiums, Sap research is in constant dialogue with the european Commission in Brussels and with other eu bodies dedicated to spearheading

technological innovation throughout the continent.

it megatrends will have a major impact on europe’s economy, and innovation and research in this area are key to ensuring europe’s position as a global it leader. in 2009, Sap research made a call to the european union on two major topics:• the white paper Toward a European

Strategy for the Future Internet: A Call for Action was presented to eu commissioner of information, society, and media viviane reding.the paper outlines the political chal-lenges to drive the next generation of the internet. it gives recommen-dations, from a research perspec-tive, on how the eu could design a research strategy in order to best position itself to gain the most from the emerging internet of things and internet of Services.

• Following its Future internet white paper, Sap was approached by the eu to provide insights on cloud com-puting. the Cloud Computing: A European Perspective white paper demonstrates the importance of this emerging technology to society and urges eu policy makers to leverage eu programs in order to promote

Fourth German IT Summit: SAP and the Future Internet

under the leadership of Chancellor Dr. Angela Merkel, the fourth national german it Summit took place on december 8, 2009, in Stuttgart, germany. on this occasion, Sap research, together with Fraun-hofer iao, demonstrated research projects and deliverables during a joint open house event.

the results exhibited focused on several projects and outcomes in the area of the german federal govern-ment’s high-tech strategy and the most important megatrend in the it area: the Future Internet.

researchers from Sap were on-site to discuss findings and show insights into such topics as future manufac-turing, anticounterfeiting, urban management and the securing of cities, and USDL, a specification language for the description of services in the internet.

the event was attended by several federal ministers, high-level academic representatives, and the country’s industry leaders from the iCt sector as well as various media representa-tives, and it was a worthwhile oppor-tunity to prove Sap’s commitment to driving it innovation in germany and beyond.

the GRIP-IT initiative (German Indian Partnership on IT-Systems Research)

is facilitating the networking of german and indian applied and industrial it research. the program has a 2+2 ap-proach: science + industry, germany + india, with the goal being to prepare proposals and establish the appropriate needed contacts. Sap research is acting in grip-it as the subcontractor of acatech, the german academy of Science and engineering, with its presi-dent Henning Kagermann.

Further National Engagementsin addition, Sap research is in active discussions and collaborations regard-ing innovation in iCt with national gov-ernments in australia and asia, as well as those of northern ireland, France, South africa, and Switzerland.

in Singapore and Australia, the Sap research australia team regularly deliv-ers input to national innovation reviews and has contributed leading-edge de-velopments in the payments and infor-mation services industry as well as application areas for the national broad-band network. idea exchanges and dia-logue with government agencies like Singapore’s Economic Development Board and ministers such as the Hon-orable Stephen Conroy, minister for

information and communication tech-nologies are all pervasive in society. ongoing iCt research is critical, as iCt is the solution to many global problems and increases productivity in every sector of the economy.

as the economy becomes digitalized, we’re presented with exciting oppor-tunities for a greatly increased range of digital content and services deliv-ered over broadband networks that connect to all manner of things around us.

to take full advantage of these op-portunities, research collaborations play an important role. national iCt australia’s (niCta’s) partnership with Sap in transport and logistics seeks to raise supply chain efficiency and reduce pollution and cost in trans-portation of goods.

Women in TechnologySap recognizes the necessity to in-crease women’s participation in the iCt sector and to bring about a major breakthrough in regard to women’s participation in the knowledge-based economy. getting more women into iCt careers is not only a gender equality issue of today but also an economic necessity and a force for change and growth in this key sector on a global scale.

Sap research is striving to enhance its research activities to cover dedicated gender aspects and support women’s scientific and technical careers. major activities in this area were Sap’s sign-ing of the Code of Best Practices for Women and ICTs and its participation in the European Center for Women and Technology (ECWT). the eCWt is a sustainable european multistakeholder partnership promoting regional innova-tion and high-level expertise in women and technology development from busi-ness, government, academia, and the nonprofit sector.

one important partner in determining future opportunities for joint research in the gender area with significant ex-pertise in supporting technology careers for women is the Steinbeis-europa-zentrum in Stuttgart, germany. Sap

broadband, communications, and the digital economy in australia, are also common practice for Sap research in this region.

Sap research pretoria and the Sap meraka unit for technology develop-ment (utd), with support from the South african department of Science and technology and the meraka institute of the Council for Scientific and industrial research (CSir), are spearheading the BRICS Research Interest Group. this initiative is aiming to engage institutions in Brazil, russia, india, China, and South africa (BriCS) and european countries to develop a joint vision and research agenda for technologies for emerging economies. the group is also identify-ing further opportunities for collabora-tion on eu Framework 7 projects.

Segopotso moshapo, researcher at the utd, is the iCt national Contact point for South africa with regard to partici-pation in the eu Fp7 programme. in this role, he supports the South African Department of Science and Technology with its international partnership activities.

in the united Kingdom, Ben greene, director of the Sap research Center Belfast, is an active member of the UK Future Internet Steering Group. this group is working to develop a consen-sus on uK investment in the Future internet. it also feeds these outputs to the uK government and acts as an influencer in european Commission research programs, encouraging uK participation. greene is also the chair-man of the northern ireland branch of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (iet). the iet is the profes-sional body that provides support and professional development for persons involved in engineering and it careers.

Unified Service Description Language Accelerates the Internet of Services

a significant achievement of Sap research and projects such as THESEUS/TEXO, PremiumServices, and Smart Services CRC in the internet of Services is the unified Services description Language (uSdL). uSdL allows services to be exposed beyond company “firewalls” to business networks and communi-ties and out to the Web. uSdL goes beyond previous proposals for de-scribing business and technical ser-vices. Business aspects of services − such as ownership and custodian-ship, availability and pricing, and service access and versioning constraints – as well as legal and technical aspects are supported.

uSdL is the first stage of widely exposing services so that consum-ers can discover details of services without reliance on service providers. in addition, third parties can repur-pose services through new channels and applications. utility services for cloud hosting and business-to- business interoperability can also be selected based on their capabilities to provide outsourced support for services.

the general design principle was to create a unifying entry point into the overall set of service metadata, which, in the end, comprises several arti-facts in different formats. the role of uSdL is to enable a number of internet of Services use cases, among them discovery and match-making, aggregation, and bundling.

and, being combined, be developed into value-added services. the creation of and seamless accessibility to these services is facilitated by an open plat-form and interface architecture, as provided by service-oriented architec-ture (Soa), semantic Web, cloud com-puting, and additional service-related developments and disciplines.

Sap research recently launched the Internet of Services community. the community aims to foster collaboration on, dissemination of, and adoption of internet of Services concepts, tech-nologies, and use cases in order to leverage the significant investments and experience gained to date. it is a company- neutral, nonprofit open forum for researchers, technology vendors, service providers, and end users.

Business WebsSap research is further pursuing the possibilities of the Future internet by exploring the use of business webs in the internet of Services. Services pro-vided through the internet serve a dual purpose: they are utilized by consum-ers as well as by technical systems to access business functionality that is provided remotely by business part-ners. Sap research and its partners are developing a new platform to make services tradable on the Internet, to develop them into value-added services, and to integrate customized services into the environment of service consumers.

TEXO, an internet of Services research project within the tHeSeuS research program initiated by the BmWi, will

Creating Solutions for the Greater Good

many of the projects in which Sap research collaborates aim to develop a solution or application that, in the end, contributes positively to the world around us. By applying information technology in new ways and in new areas, new and exciting developments are already benefiting a great number of people and societies.

The Internet of ServicesSocieties function thanks to the servic-es that help run them − be it of a tech-nical, business, or societal nature. the service sector has become the biggest and fastest-growing business sector in the world, and, for the first time ever, it now employs more people worldwide than any other sector. in order for this growth to continue, services need to become more widely and easily avail-able and should also yield higher pro-ductivity. through the clever use of information technology, the internet of Services is the realization of global supply and provisioning of services on an Internet scale that enables their exposure, adaption, trade, and con-sumption anywhere, anytime, and in any way.

Sap research is exploring different as-pects of the service sector to determine which new and existing services can be incorporated into the internet of Services

the Commission welcomes Sap’s ambition to use the results of euro-pean and national projects to build a Future internet of Services. By opening up research results to broader communities, projects generate positive market dynamics that will favor european innovation.

the universal Services description Language, to which some eu- sponsored initiatives have contrib-uted, has the potential to accelerate and make more flexible the deploy-ment of new internet services with a significant impact on european businesses and citizens.

Public Securitypublic and homeland security have be-come the central focus of many coun-tries since the recent occurrence of natural disasters and political conflicts around the world. our modern and open society is highly complex and, therefore, vulnerable. it must be protected from a wide variety of threats, including major catastrophic events with possibly grave consequences.

Sap research has recognized the cru-cial role that information technology can play in managing these challenges and radically improving the safety and securi-ty of a society. the group is investigating how public security−related organiza-tions in our communities can be sup-ported by IT systems that serve both their day-to-day needs and agency-specific activities as well as integrate with other systems in emergency situations.

the SoKNOS (Service-oriented archi-tectures Supporting networks of public Security) research project has success-fully optimized coordination and commu-nication across rescue organizations in times of an emergency. the SoKnoS service-oriented platform enables users, in both their daily work and in crisis sit-uations, to find, exchange, and evaluate data and information faster, to plan and evaluate operations, and to collab-orate with public authorities, organiza-tions, and experts.

help retrieve, coordinate, develop, and access services. it is aiming to provide businesses with an infrastructure for new Web-based applications and ser-vices on the basis of Soa. the project addresses the full lifecycle of these services, from innovation to consump-tion via intuitive interfaces and techni-cal systems. the infrastructure will be independent of any individual company and will provide a flexible, semantic-driven interface between service providers and their customers.

With the new TEXO Service Market-place, organizations, especially small businesses and midsize companies and users, will become more agile in today’s economy by focusing on their core competencies and using externally provided services for noncore activities. Small businesses and midsize compa-nies and other businesses and organi-zations will also be able to offer and publish their own services, to extend their product and service offering, and to represent their business know-how to a larger community of potential ser-vice users. this new platform is already in a pilot phase with Sap Business all-in-one solution customers.

Work on teXo is led by Sap research in collaboration with partners from academia and industry, including emp-olis, intelligent views gmbh, ontoprise, Siemens, Fraunhofer gesellschaft, Fzi Forschungszentrum informatik Karlsruhe, the german research Center for artificial intelligence, technische universität darmstadt, technische universität dresden, technische uni-versität münchen, and the Karlsruhe institute of technology. in 2009, the following tHeSeuS Sme initiatives joined the teXo project: SerapHim, openXchange, green mobility, jCpeX!, SaBine, and B2BitC.

Brisbane: SAP Research Showcased at CeBIT Australia

Sap’s participation at CeBit austra-lia, the largest business-to-business event for ICT in Australasia, in may 2009 in Sydney, australia, was a great success for the Sap research Center Brisbane. the team was on-site to showcase potential business applications in the public safety and crisis management areas.

a customized prototype of SoKNOS was introduced to the german am-bassador, dr. michael Witter, and the premier of new South Wales, nathan rees, as well as to custom-ers, politicians, and the media. a flooding scenario in north Queens-land, incorporating data from the year’s devastating cyclones, under-lined future opportunities and bene-fits for governmental and private entities in crisis management and showed the value of smart, intercon-nected early warning and response coordination solutions and other technological aids in the handling of disastrous events.

the living labs concept with sce-narios in retail and transport and logistics was also demonstrated. the research team introduced next-generation service-oriented architec-ture and smart service technologies from projects in the area of personal financial forecasting, real-time geo- location and proximity optimization for people and assets, business process outsourcing, and cloud computing.

Based on SoKnoS, the next step is to create the prototype of a new urban management platform, which is under development in cooperation with Sap research, the german research Center for artificial intelligence, and tzS, the german affiliate of agt international, a company that offers public safety and security solutions. adding solutions for the so-called “preparedness phase”

Sap research worked with numerous project partners, including users, re-search facilities, and industry partners to develop the platform. the project is funded by the german Federal ministry of education and research (BmBF). results from SoKnoS are also being applied at the newly founded Future Public Security Center, described in Chapter 3.

Following 9/11, public security became a key governmental and societal issue – one where iCt can bring about change. r&d projects worldwide emphasized aspects like first responder support and sur-veillance. in contrast, Sap research and academic partners aim at ad-dressing emergency containment and response in a top-down integrated effort.

the first major achievement is a leading-edge integrated platform that considerably advances both quality and speed of coordinated emergency response. in a next step, situation awareness and decision rollout shall be furthered and combined with privacy protection.

Technologies for Emerging Economiesresearch indicates that very little is known about the technology needs of emerging economies, that very little research is done in this area, and that first-world technology solutions are a poor fit for developing regions. these regions show good economic potential, having sustained economic growth over the years, with a low-to-moderate income per capita and human development index. in the emerging economies research field, there is currently a strong focus on the BriCS countries: Brazil, russia, india, China, and South africa, with particular interest in these areas’ small businesses, microbusinesses, and midsize companies.

Sap research, led particularly by its research center in Pretoria, South Africa, has recognized the great potential in emerging economies. this potential relates not only to the chance for Sap to break into this fast-growing market but also to the opportunity to find ways

the role of iCt in developing econo-my societies is becoming ever more prominent, as iCt becomes more pervasive.

the meraka institute leverages inter-national science and technology col-laboration to contribute to and take advantage of international efforts in addressing the digital divide. in pur-suit of these goals, the partnership with Sap research provides an ex-cellent vehicle to focus on technolo-gies for emerging economies.

our partnership has already shown impact, most notably in the rural business, health, and small and midsize enterprise spaces. one exciting initiative is the overture project, aimed at proving a mobile services platform for very small enterprises in emerging economies.

a collaborative, Soa-based platform has been implemented to help small businesses become more profitable in their daily operations with a mobile delivery system. the idea was to re-duce transaction costs through the establishment of virtual buying cooper-atives involving mobile phone usage, consisting of a large number of small spaza shops, and coordinated by local information service providers, so-called infopreneurs.

the nine-month live pilot operation showed very promising end-user adop-tion statistics, resulting in an increased availability of basic goods for rural com-munities in South africa. project results are also being applied to further initia-tives within this area.

Pretoria: Exploring Mobile Phone Technologies in Emerging Economies

the establishment of overture, using the living lab methodology in the con-text of emerging economies, was a great highlight for Sap research pretoria. the project focuses on how very small businesses in the plumb-ing industry can benefit from service-oriented mobile phone−related software platforms and services in a cost-effective and efficient manner.

a typical plumber makes money in three ways: a fixed callout fee, an hourly rate based on the time spent per job, and a markup on the parts used. of their daily business, 90% reaches them early in the morning of the same day – this is a planning nightmare. designing software solu-tions for such users in an emerging economy is a challenge, as they are diverse in terms of culture, language, and technology needs and have dif-fering levels of iCt literacy. the living labs methodology, where users are involved hands-on from the concep-tualization phase of a new software product to the development lifecycle, is ideal here.

Sap research and partners, including vodacom, CashBuild, the institute of plumbers of South africa, and four plumbing businesses, are working together to design, develop, and evaluate new solutions. these solutions consider business requirements, user ethnographies, hosted mobile business platforms, novel mobile user interfaces, and alternative financial business models to help ensure affordability of the final solutions.

Smarter Power Supplyin the near future, an increasing num-ber of distributed and volatile energy resources will need to be coordinated and aligned with consumers. a market-place acts as a tool for exchanging in-formation about supply and demand and for determining a fair price that en-courages the efficient use of energy. one of the key objectives is the trans-formation of the currently dominant system of demand-driven generation of power into an adaptive system in which the demand side is optimized according to the supply of clean power from renewable resources. Smart de-vices, such as household appliances that can adapt themselves automati-cally, are a key factor to achieving this goal and reducing the need for expen-sive measures to cover energy demand peaks, thereby reducing the overall costs of energy.

the MeRegio research project is ex-ploring new ways of communication in the energy market that support the alignment of energy production and consumption. Based on information and communication technology, grid

Green Energymany countries and states worldwide are trying to find a new balance in the energy sector in order to provide clean, secure, and affordable energy. dereg-ulation of the energy market is a key driver toward an energy landscape with increasingly decentralized and diversified power generation across industrial and private producers. in other regions, factors such as the increasing awareness of climate change are play-ing a key role. these shifts will have a dominant effect on existing infrastruc-ture, technologies, and business prac-tices, reshaping the world’s energy map and associated business domains.

However, a deregulated, more efficient energy market is impossible to achieve without an adequate IT infrastructure. in a highly deregulated environment, it must be possible to better integrate volatile and distributed renewable energy sources and to provide the critical links between energy grid operations, dynamic energy markets, and utility consumers. Sap research is exploring new, inno-vative solutions to address the chal-lenges of this emerging infrastructure.

Karlsruhe: Future Energy

a recent remarkable development at the Sap research Center Karlsruhe was its establishment of the new future energy research field. Future energy aims to develop novel infor-mation and communication technolo-gies and integrate existing solutions that are required to increase the effi-ciency of today’s energy-provisioning infrastructures.

the limited availability and unfavor-able carbon footprint of fossil energy resources and profound changes in the energy market regulation direc-tives worldwide, as well as the in-creasing share of highly distributed renewable energy sources, pose new challenges to energy market partici-pants. the use of the Internet to help optimize energy-related processes and electric mobility is an additional hot topic in this new field.

Sap researchers in Karlsruhe are help-ing to pioneer these new technologies. they recognize that, in order to achieve these goals, multidisciplinary research and continuous dialogue between in-dustry and market experts, customers, researchers, and government agencies are of key importance.

as such, future energy projects, such as e-mobility, Future Fleet, meregio, meregiomobil, and SmartHouse/Smartgrid, are joining forces with a large number of reputed partners from both industry and academia, including aBB, Bosch, daimler, enBW, Fzi, Kit, mvv, ppC, rWe, and Schneider electric. their work is sure to positively impact our future.

main, germany, with the opportunity to investigate new requirements of electrical mobility. these needs include the addition of parameters such as length and duration of a planned trip, range of the vehicles, and loading capacities along the route.

additional scientific support for the energy system implications is being provided by the Hochschule mannheim.

the e-mobility research project, con-ducted along with rWe, is also explor-ing the possibilities of electric mobility by merging concepts from the utilities and telecommunication domains. the goal is to integrate mobile services into open e-mobility service platforms, creating a universal network of public and private charging stations combined with an innovative billing system for fast, safe, and convenient charging of elec-tric automobiles. additional services and processes being considered in-clude registration and authentication of e-vehicles or customers at charging spots, remote maintenance and remote analysis of charging spots, and roaming between utilities and service providers.

a further project is studying the use of electric vehicles in order to avoid peak demands in power consumption. Sap research is looking at how information and communication technology can support the use of car batteries as an energy storage that unburdens the grid. MeRegioMobil uses the infrastructure created by the meregio project and complements it with aspects like identi-fication of vehicles, operator-independent accounting of the volume of purchased electricity, tariff, and contract management.

management can be improved, access to the market is simplified for operators of distributed energy resources, better procurement options are provided for small businesses and midsize compa-nies, and a large number of private consumers can be involved in demand-side management programs. thus, the integration of renewable energy sourc-es is optimized and energy efficiency is increased.

a central component of meregio is the E-Energy Market Platform, built by Sap. enBW energie Baden-Württemberg, aBB, iBm deutschland, Systemplan, and the Karlsruhe institute of technol-ogy are collaborating, along with Sap research, on the meregio project.

Smarter Cars automobiles and other motor vehicles emit a number of pollutants into our en-vironment, including carbon dioxide. as more and more automobile companies introduce hybrid and fully electric cars into the market, additional research is being done to drive these fuel alterna-tives even further.

the Future Fleet project aims at inte-grating up to 100 electric cars into SAP’s regular company car fleet. an appropriate charging infrastructure for these full electric vehicles will be in-stalled at Sap premises by the project partner mvv energie. as the vehicles are charged with 100% renewable en-ergy, the electric company car fleet can become a veritable “green fleet.” the prototype provides researchers from Sap, the institute for applied ecology in Berlin, and the institute for Social-ecological research in Frankfurt am

E-Energy Market Platform Allows for Smart Energy Usage

renewable energy is an important building block in our future energy supply. the E-Energy Market Platform, developed as part of the meregio project, enables market participants to engage actively in smart electricity grids. it provides the tools to interact with each other and seamlessly adapt to market conditions, thus making full use of renewable and distributed energy resources.

the platform acts as a central hub for information exchange and collabora-tive business processes, including the trading of energy products and energy-related services. using a Web-based interface, consumers can set product preferences, review their energy and emissions foot-prints, and engage in power trading. through dynamic prices and con-sumption adaptation, consumers can benefit from low prices by slight-ly adapting their behavior of power consumption. For example, a dish-washer could decide by itself, after consulting with the e-energy market platform, when it runs and with what type of power in order to achieve a favorable electricity rate.

thanks to this interaction, the align-ment of supply and demand of power and renewable energy sources can be optimized. on a large scale, this has the potential to make the power grid operate more efficiently and more effectively − that is, by reduc-ing the need for backup generators at times of high demand, since these loads can be shifted to other low- demand times.
