L. M. Camarinha-Matos © L. M. Camarinha-Matos WP5 – OBJECTIVES Establish a sound theoretical foundation for collaborative networked organizations and to promote and assess the adoption of formal and semi-formal modeling methods and tools in the consolidation of the existing and emerging fragmented knowledge in this area Establish a new scientific discipline of Collaborative Networks

L. M. Camarinha-Matos © L. M. Camarinha-Matos WP5 – RESULTS D51.1 – Report identifying and characterizing the main modeling needs in CNOs. Month 6 D51.2 – Map of applicability of tools and approaches, based on the assessment experiments (“shopping list”. Month 15. Formal and semi-formal modelling foundation Set of modelling tools, applicability map, modelling approach, illustrations Models interoperability basis Rules / guidelines for combining different modelling approaches / formalisms Soft modelling foundation Modeling tools and approaches to capture “soft aspects” in CNOs (e.g. social actors relationships, incomplete knowledge) Reference models for CNOs Abstract (generic) models of CNOs that can be the basis for models instantiation for different manifestations of CNOs Initial results

L. M. Camarinha-Matos © L. M. Camarinha-Matos Finish / revise characterization of tools / theories Provide references easily available (preferably URL) Carefully identify external experts Local experts “International” experts Are they still active and publishing in the area? Are they mainly researchers or also “business” people? Have they done any development in CNOs or related areas? Is it foreseen they have any potential interest in the area? Revise / refine application diagram Revise and finish classification Initial screening of most promising tools / theories PORTFOLIO – WHAT NEXT ? PARIS

L. M. Camarinha-Matos © L. M. Camarinha-Matos MODELING PURPOSES – TASKS Revise terminology Check consistency & completeness Define importance level Identify inter-relationships PARIS 1st attempt

L. M. Camarinha-Matos © L. M. Camarinha-Matos Initial elaboration of some informal definitions before an attempt to formalize them is made. “Cleaned up” concepts and definitions to be used in the project. CNO CLEARINGHOUSE - Base concepts (=> “components”) - Base ontologies (=> taxonomies, properties, relationships) - Structural models (=> structured concepts) - Behavioral models

L. M. Camarinha-Matos © L. M. Camarinha-Matos WP5 – HANDS-ON EXPERIMENTS Small experiments: adapting existing methods that can map most of the required modeling characteristics, and understanding their applicability - Individual partners experiments - Sub-groups [bi- or tri-lateral activities] - Sub-groups with external experts [thematic workshops] Basic research on open issues (... Task 51.4)... It can start earlier than month 12
