Conventional enterprise interoperation models are getting challenged by digital platforms that set up new rules of competition and interplay across industries. Today’s (micro-)service architectures are designed to scale up to a large number of cloud services, and cloud-hosted IoT- and CPS-based systems exploit their capacity for high scalability, flexibility and interoperability. These services are designed for independent deployment and they offer reusability in a variety of businesses thus paving the way for digital platform ecosystems to become the dominant paradigm for future Industry 4.0 applications.
The Workshop on Digital Platform Ecosystems: From Interoperability to Federation (IFED 2020) addresses the present interoperability challenges for digital platform ecosystems and points at a variety of interoperation solutions, e.g. semantic interoperability at the data level (decoding the meaning of data), structural interoperability (decoding the organisation of data), syntactic interoperability (converting data from a serialized representation to an internal data structure). IFED 2020 also addresses AI methods to leverage interoperation capabilities of federated platforms.
IFED 2020 presents recent research and industry topics related to ongoing projects from the DT-ICT-07-2018-2019 call, namely:
• eFactory: https://www.efactory-project.eu/
• ZDMP: https://www.zdmp.eu/
• Qu4Lity: https://qu4lity-project.eu/
In addition, IFED 2020 welcomes papers on interoperability and digital platforms designed and developed through other past and present International, European and national research projects and activities, e.g. NIMBLE (https://www.nimble-project.org/).
IFED 2020 provides an opportunity to discuss digital platforms’ interoperability solutions with the community of researchers and first-hand practitioners around platform technologies. Finally, to facilitate the exploitation of ongoing projects' results and to facilitate the future collaboration on interoperability for digital platforms and their ecosystems, the coming clustering activities and Open Calls related to EU H2020 funded projects, will be introduced to the public during the workshop.
