Objetivo
The MOTION project will design, develop and validate novel multi-service business architecture to support teamwork within distributed enterprises. Manufacturing companies increasingly need geographically distributed product development: products are built up of components developed by units located in different cities or countries. MOTION addresses this need with the objective of developing and validating multi-service business architecture for supporting Team Work and distributed working methods, both for cooperative product design and for business management.
The project will:
.define a novel, distributed communication services infrastructure;
.identify and develop a core set of services based on such infrastructure;
.use such core set of services to build up two specific business applications.
The architecture will allow end-users to implement new methods of working and achieve business process improvements in terms of improved product design, improved productivity and reduced time to market. Based on distributed object technology standards, it will integrate intelligent and mobile agents, information push and event-based communication. These will be used in the context of a global information infrastructure supporting mobile working through the integration of hand-held devices. Such techniques will allow configuring and operating a consistent set of Team Work Assistants required in the different sites of an application and supporting engineering teams working across the sites in a variety of tasks. MOTION will validate the achieved end products in two industrial environments: household appliances and mobile phones production
