Prof.
Dr.-Ing. Kai Mertins was born 1947 in the Federal Republic of Germany. After
studies of Control Theory in Hamburg and of Economy together with Production
Technology at the Technical University of Berlin he was a member of the
scientific staff of the University Institute for Machine Tool and Manufacturing
Technology (IWF). Since 1983 he was head of the department "Production
Control and Manufacturing Systems" at the Fraunhofer-Institute for
Production Systems and Design Technology (IPK), where he is since 1988 Director
for Planning Technology. Since 1998 he is Professor for Production Management
at the Technical University of Berlin, Germany. He has more than 20 years
experience in design, planning, simulation and control of flexible manufacturing
systems, manufacturing control systems, shop floor control systems, computer
integrated manufacturing, business reengineering and enterprise modelling as
well as Intellectual Capital Statement. He was General Project manager in
several international industrial projects and gave lectures and seminars at the
Technical University Berlin and several other universities.
A concise reference to the state of the
art in systems interoperability, Enterprise
Interoperability VII will be of great value to engineers and computer
scientists working in manufacturing and other process industries and to
software engineers and electronic and manufacturing engineers working in the
academic environment. Furthermore, it shows how knowledge of the meaning within
information and the use to which it will be put have to be held in common
between enterprises for consistent and efficient inter-enterprise networks.
Over 30 papers, ranging from academic
research through case studies to industrial and administrative experience of
interoperability show how, in a scenario of globalised markets, where the
capacity to cooperate with other organizations efficiently is essential in
order to remain economically, socially and environmentally cost-effective, the
most innovative digitized and networked enterprises ensure that their systems and applications are able
to interoperate across heterogeneous collaborative networks of independent organizations.
This goal of interoperability is essential, not only from the perspective of
the individual enterprise but also in the business structures that are now
emerging, such as complex collaborating networks of suppliers and customers,
virtual enterprises, interconnected organisations or extended enterprises, as
well as in mergers and acquisitions. Establishing efficient and relevant
collaborative situations requires the management of interoperability from a
dynamic point of view: a relevant and efficient collaboration of organizations may
require adaptation to remain in line with changing objectives, evolving
resources, unexpected events, etc. Many of the papers contained in this, the eighth
volume of Proceedings of the I-ESA
Conferences have examples and illustrations calculated to deepen
understanding and generate new ideas.
The I-ESA’16 Conference
from which this book is drawn was organized by the Escola de Engenharia da
Universidade do Minho, on behalf of the European Virtual Laboratory for Enterprise
Interoperability (INTEROP-VLab) and Interop VLab Portuguese Pole.
