He can check if there is some specific event in the future about his kind of problem He can check if there is someone in the chat room/virtual forum/newsgroup somehow expert or interested in his specific situation Finally he can refer to the virtual library, looking for a solution procedure Or to the laboratory, looking for a set of data or a case study that seems to his situation, or for a set of indicators useful to evaluate his performances and to clear his own position.

Goals Encourage the approach between research centres and companies within scientific themes and problems Address the applied science, like the Supply Network Management, to such a language that does not take the potential users away; does not lose the contact with real problems Address the applied science, like the Supply Network Management, to such a language that does not take the potential users away; does not lose the contact with real problems Make a scientific paper attractive and easily comprehensible for a business person CO-DESNET
