Dublin, May 5th. OMELETTE is present at FIA 2013 in Dublin from May 8th to May 10th. OMELETTE has its own booth where it is shown how to enable web-based communication and collaboration at the speed of a click. Moreover, the OMELETTE Live Widget Mashup Environment is being demonstrated for the Flood Management real-life scenario.

Collaborative Platforms for Sustainable Logistics and Transportation at IEEE DEST 2013 conference: Frédérick Bénaben from PLAY is co-chair for the track: Collaborative Platforms for Sustainable Logistics and Transportation at IEEE DEST conference this year. Abstract: Across application domains, organizations and enterprises (such as Small-Medium Enterprises) gain their strengths from flexible market orientation, agile value chains and cluster-based innovation capacity. The changing global (business) environment challenges all organizations to aim for agility and performance-driven management through process-focused thinking. These challenges reach far beyond the business world, affecting for example the formation and coordination of emergency teams in case of environmental disasters. […] We are looking for papers that address medium-scale/large-scale and medium-term/long-term challenges for collaboration in the domain of logistics, including risk-management scenarios (e.g. after the occurrence of an environmental disaster), and that indicate/demonstrate potential solutions.

We are presenting a tutorial at DEBS 2013 conference on: Personal Big Data Management in Cyber-physical Systems Abstract: Cyber-physical systems (CPS) represent engineered systems where functionalities and salient characteristics emerge from the networked interaction of computational and physical components. Example CPSs include automobiles, aircraft, air traffic control, power grids, oil refineries, medical devices, patient monitoring, and smart structures. One of the main challenges for these systems is the real-time processing of various signals coming from different sensor-based subsystems. In this tutorial we 1) present how these challenges, mainly related to the Internet of Things and Big Data processing, can be interpreted in the context of the Event Processing Grand Challenge, a roadmap for the EP community established at Event Processing Dagstuhl Seminar 2010, 2) elaborate on current efforts in developing an event-driven platform that supports the above mentioned requirements and 3) present examples from three real-life scenarios (remote patient monitoring, adaptive augmented reality museum experience, and collaborative software development).

We are organizing a Special Session at PRO-VE’13 conference this year titled: Event-Driven Collaborative Network Abstract: Supervision of events, emitted by connected devices (of any type), may be used to support lifecycle of collaborative networks (CN). This workshop will try to focus on the links between events, objects and CN: how Internet of Things (IoT) could facilitate collaboration thanks to events. Event gathering is a way to (i) detect opportunity or necessity of collaboration (between individuals and/or organisations), (ii) collect relevant knowledge to define the way collaborative networks should behave, (iii) perform monitoring, orchestration or choreography of collaborative behaviours and (iv) ensure efficient feedback while dismantling collaborative networks.Many technical and scientific issues are associated with this subject: publish / subscribe and distribution of events, semantic treatment of events, scalability and big data, social and trust, governance and choreography, etc.Articles submitted to this workshop should present event-based environments. Articles should focus on one (or several) of these stages of CN lifecycle and should also consider some of the technical or scientific issues presented above. Concrete use-cases should also be considered as far as they provide concrete vision of the usefulness of such environments.
