The ‘essence of Roadmapping’
• Roadmapping, seen essentially as a Knowledge Management endeavour
• Activities started with the definition of the overall knowledge organization
• 4 FInES Knowledge Spaces: (i) Socio-technical, (ii) Enterprise, (iii) Enterprise Systems, (iv) Enabling Technologies
••• 6
The 4 FInES Knowledge Spaces
1. Socio-economic Space (SOCE)the larger context in which enterprises operate. It includes topics such as:the social responsibility of enterprises, the impact on the environment and their carbon footprint, until the system of values goes beyond the pure financial dimension.
2. Enterprise Space (ENTP)the key traits of future enterprises, the emerging business and production models, new governance and organization paradigms, new forms of cooperation all geared towards the continuous innovation paradigm
••• 7
The 4 FInES Knowledge Spaces (cont’)
3. Future Enterprise Systems (ESYS)ICT solutions and socio-technical systems aimed at supporting the emerging future enterprises. In essence: FInES, aligned with business needs and rationale identified for the future enterprises.
4. Enabling Technology Space (TECH) –ICT solutions, including knowledge representation, cooperation and interoperability, trust and security advanced services, etc., necessary for the development of FInES. In particular, ICT enabling solutions that be needed for the purpose of FInES.

1. A Vision on the Socio-economic Space in 2025
1. The need for a socio-economic discontinuity
2. Different growths for wealth and well-being in reduced economic expansion
3. Towards a totally connected Society
4. Innovation in a Knowledge-based Society
••• 11
1. Socio-economic key comments
• increase of the standard of living must happen in a socially adequate manner.
• include young people and give them a perspective in life.
• The BRICS countries are also sources of opportunities for companies of developed countries.
• “Sustainability” is a more important issue than “growth”
• Inclusion and not separation should be a leading principle.
••• 12
2. The Future Internet-based Enterprise
2a. Quality of Being: a first characterization
2b. The Operational Dimension
2c. New approaches to Future Enterprises Governance
••• 13
2a. Quality of Being: a first characterization
1. Humanistic Enterprise
2. Inventive Enterprise
3. Agile Enterprise
4. Cognisant Enterprise
5. Sensing Enterprise
6. Community-oriented Enterprise
7. Cloud Enterprise
8. Glocal Enterprise
9. Green Enterprise
••• 14
2b. The Operational Dimension
The following operational areas are connected in a spiral/fractal fashion
• Invent• Plan• Build• Operate• Manage&Monitor• Dissolute
••• 15
2c. New approaches for Future Enterprises Governance
• Enterprise as a complex artefact• Enterprise Engineering: need for a
systematic approach• A World of Models, based on Design
Science• But... Accepting the limitations of a
modelling approach• Surviving with partial models, to be
addressed with Complexity Theory• E.g., from BPM to Complex Event Proc
••• 16
2. Enterprise Space key comments
• the “value creating" models (constellations) are replacing the traditional “value adding" ones, such as value chain.
• “Inventive” is a too demanding characteristic for an enterprise
• Enterprise Engineering methods address low-level practical issues, missing the holistic socially interlinked trends
• Humanities, natural sciences and the arts need to be considered in harmony to support a successful FI enterprise
• Green Enterprise… enough! Better Recycling Enterprise
••• 17
3. The Future Internet-based Enterprise Systems
This the Core Space, organised in three dimensions:
1. Knowledge Dimension, since before doing it is necessary to know,
2. Functional Dimension, to see what will be the main functions of a FInES,
3. Engineering Dimension investigate new development techniques, with a specific focus on software applications.
Each dimension will be articulated with its Research Challenges
••• 18
3.1 The Knowledge Dimension
RC1. Unified Digital Enterprisefull digital image of the enterprise (Enterprise
Architecture Fwk), with conceptual and factual (data) knowledge, behavioural and structural aspects, at various levels of details
RC2. Linked Open Knowledgeto connect and integrate actual knowledge/ data,
in/outside of the enterprise (Web of Knowledge)
RC3. Complex Systems Modellingwith sections fully specified and sections
characterised by non deterministic behaviour
••• 19
3.2 The Functional Dimension of a FInES
RC4. Innovation-oriented enterprise production platforms
Invent – Plan – Build – Operate – Manage&Monitor – Dissolute
RC5. Unified Digital Enterprise (UDE) Management System
Constantly evolving the UDE to guarantee a digital reality mirroring the analogical reality
RC6. Cooperation and collaboration platformsSmart Objects, Apps, people: all seamlessly Intp
••• 20
3.3 The Engineering Dimension of FInES
RC7. Proactive FInES Mashup (Design)combined top-down (goal- and human-driven) and
bottom-up (event- and object-driven) design
RC8. Autonomic Computing Components and Subsystems (Build)
Dynamic (re)organization of computational business resources resources mirroring (collective intelligence).
RC9. Flexible Execution platforms (Exec)Different integrated paradigms, Agents, Smart
Objects, Utility and Commodity Clouds
••• 21
The Science Base of FInES
• Much of the above Research Challenges need rigorous, well-founded approaches
• In the future FInES researches it is highly advisable to include activities related to Science Base
• Beyond EISB. E.g.:– Design Science– Complexity Theory– Fuzzy self-organising systems– Semantics– Enterprise Engineering
••• 22
3. FInES Space key comments
• What is an Enterprise System?• Unified Digital Enterprise makes the mistake of
equating the tool with the thing itself• Unified Digital Enterprise is a very important
challenge• Knowledge dimension: we should consider adding the
consumption of knowledge and its business value• are WfM and BPM solutions able to meet the new
enterprise business dimension, made of activities which are non-procedural, non-hierarchical, fuzzy & probabilistic, human-centric, serendipitous, parallel jobs?
••• 23
4. Future Technologies for FInES
ICTs are not our core research interest, but we rely on to achieve the sought FInES
• Networking• Knowledge• Application• Computation and Storage• Natural interaction
••• 24
4. Future Technologies for FInES
4.1 Future Networking technologiesConverging, seamless scaling networking
infrastructures
4.2 Future Knowledge technologiesa – Diffused Knowledge Base Technology
b – From raw data to knowledge assets
c – Innovation-oriented knowledge assets
••• 25
(4. Future Technologies for FInES)
4.3 Future Application Technologies
a - Proactive and autonomic computingb - From deterministic to fuzzy
computingc - Beyond system consistencyd - Governance application technologiese - Top-down problems definition and
bottom-up systems aggregation
••• 26
(4. Future Technologies for FInES)
4.5 Future computation and storage technologies
From Cloud to Ground Computing (IoT). Glocal computing. Interoperability, trust&security, ...will be largely achieved. New computational models
4.6 Future Natural InteractionDisappearance of HCI. Evolution of NUI.
••• 27
4. Technology Space key comments
• 'knowledge' cannot be assigned to 'objects'. Knowledge is a truly human thing; if you take away humans, there is no such thing as 'knowledge‘
• The section should be named "Future socially-enriched knowledge Technologies“
• The statement "the role of humans in the creation of knowledge assets will progressively turn marginal" is in my view utterly false
• Complex-system engineering is less dependent on technology than traditional systems engineering
••• 28
Consultation process
• Consultation method and tools– Online form– Voting on key issues– Adding text to comment or propose
alternative ideas
• Experts consultation– 15 experts, almost 100 contributions
• Projects consultation••• 29
Future Activities
• Active participation in the next FInES Cluster Meetings, in particular:– 12 October 2011– 20 December 2011
• Activate a wide consultation process
• Integrate the Editorial Board
••• 30
Future Activites (cont’)
• Collaboration with other similar initiatives– ActionPlanT, FISA, EFFRA, ...
• Substantially enlarge the online collaboration method and tools:– Wiki, Folksaurus, Online Forms, Deliberation
tool, but also Word files ...
• Online digital version of FInES RR, for future community sustainability

Conclusions
• The key work (first RR draft) has been achieved ahead of schedule
• Final version expected on M18 (planned M24)
• Focussed activities in the last semester:– Implementation and test of advanced
online co-working platforms– Community building– FInES Folksaurus and FInESpedia
••• 33
A Possible Dream
• Possibility of Governance of research initiatives and programs
• FInES Research Roadmap as a ‘territory’ to explore
• Projects are the ‘explorers’– Where are their research efforts heading to?– Can we trace their achievements?– Are there (undiscovered) overlappings?
Complementarities?– What are the ‘crwded territories? And the
unexplored ones?••• 34
