Integrating Real-World Services in Modern Enterprises

Talk abstract:
Modern enterprises operate on a global scale and depend on complex business processes. Business continuity needs to be guaranteed, and therefore efficient information acquisition, evaluation and interaction with the real world is of key importance. The infrastructure envisioned is a heterogeneous one, where millions devices are interconnected, ready to receive instructions and create event notifications, and where the most advanced ones depict self-* behavior (e.g. self-management, self-healing, self-optimization etc) and collaborate. This can lead to a paradigm change as business logic can now be intelligently distributed to several layers such as the network or even the device layer creating new opportunities but also challenges that need to be assessed. Future Enterprise Services will be in position to better integrate state and events of the physical world in a timely manner, and hence to lead to more diverse, highly dynamic and efficient business applications.
