Abstract
The objective of the work presented is to enable different equipment manufacturers, especially SMEs, to provide new services to extend their products. Although a number of ICT solutions for product extension are available, they do not allow for an efficient collaboration within extended enterprise, taking into account different, dynamically changing collaboration patterns and different technical backgrounds of the actors to be involved. The research work presented is aimed at pushing the use of advanced service oriented architectures for Collaborative Working Environments (CWE) in industrial practice. The new CWE solution will include so-called core collaborative services, addressing application independent functionality to support collaboration and covering the common collaboration actions. The objective is to develop means/tools to efficiently engineer application services for product extensions. The tools which will either automatically update application services and/or allow users, non-IT experts, to generate/update application services by themselves, are investigated. The applications in specific industrial environments are presented.
