ICE 2001

LORE attended the ICE 2001 conference. The project has been presented with a 20 minutes speech in the parallel session on Human and Social issues.

ICE 2001 conference (Bremen, Germany 27-29 June 2001) has been the major forum to enable practitioners, researchers as well as tool vendors to present, demonstrate and share the results and achievements of their work in the broad domain of Concurrent Enterprising.

ICE 2001 attracted those interested in:

• Joining the major European forum for Concurrent Engineering and Extended Enterprising,
• Networking with leading practitioners, developers, researchers and vendors in CE,
• Exploring latest RTD results and industrial cases,
• Exchanging views, findings and visions,
• Contributing to future R&D activities and
• Creating knowledge and synergies for your organisation

ICE 2001: 

• provided insight into the structure and behaviour of the Concurrent Enterprise
• illustrated how business, support and management processes interrelate and how information and communications technology (ICT) enables these processes
• showed how effective human resources and knowledge management influence the efficiency of a Concurrent Enterprise
• gave insight into managing the new business environment and making the transition from a traditional organisation to a Concurrent Enterprise
• provided a means for enhanced collaboration between European, national and regional R&D activities reinforce an exchange of experiences between academia and industry

CURRENT ENTERPRISING

The term Concurrent Enterprising is an amalgam which brings together the paradigms of Concurrent Engineering and Extended/Virtual Enterprising: The Concurrent Enterprise is a distributed, temporary alliance of independent, co-operating manufacturers, customers and suppliers using systematic approaches, methods and advanced technologies for increasing efficiency in the design and manufacturing of products and services by means of parallelity, integration, standardisation, team work and more for achieving common goals on global markets.

HISTORY AND BACKGROUND 

Since the early 1990s the ESoCE have been actively involved in bringing together leading academics, researchers and practitioners in a common forum so as to stimulate the exchange of ideas, views and latest research and developments in the field of Concurrent Engineering.

Traditionally this event has provided an excellent platform for those working in the broad field of Concurrent Enterprising. Since inception this event has evolved and grown in terms of size, nature, number of papers presented, quality of papers and presentations, quality of proceedings and countries represented. Compared to other events in the domain, ICE is remarkable for its continuous good balance between industrial and academic participation and the multi-national character of the event. ICE 2000 in Toulouse, for instance, attracted more than 180 delegates from 19 countries.

ICE CONCEPT 

The ICE conference became a winning event by successfully innovating its concept with new elements year by year – innovation became tradition. This year, the conference will have three main columns:

• Day 1 hosted 36 selected presentations from the open call for papers. The presentations will give insight to newest findings from R&D and will be introduced by key note speeches.
• Day 2 has been devoted to focused workshops. Their aim is to bring together users and experts in interactive sessions for elaborating specific topics. The co-ordinators of each workshop will invite selected presentations and demonstrations in order to stimulate the debate. The output will be presented in a roundtable for discussion with the audience.
• Day 3 invited for the theatre of solutions and industrial visits. The theatre will allow the visitor to interact and experiment in real life with newest solutions for the Concurrent Enterprise from research and the market. Visits to local firms will conclude the conference in the afternoon.

As always at ICE, the support of social networking receives strong attention within the conference and excellent facilities will be provided for establishing and maintaining contacts throughout the conference.
