In 2007 INTEROP-VLab defined Enterprise Interoperability as "the
ability of an enterprise system or application to interact with
others at a low cost with a flexible approach". Enterprise
Interoperability VI brings together a peer reviewed selection of
over 40 papers, ranging from academic research through case studies
to industrial and administrative experience of interoperability. It
shows how, in a scenario of globalised markets, the capacity to
cooperate with other firms efficiently becomes essential in order
to remain in the market in an economically, socially and
environmentally cost-effective manner, and that the most innovative
enterprises are beginning to redesign their business model to
become interoperable. This goal of interoperability is vital, not
only from the perspective of the individual enterprise but also in
the new business structures that are now emerging, such as supply
chains, virtual enterprises, interconnected organisations or
extended enterprises, as well as in mergers and acquisitions.
Establishing efficient and relevant collaborative situations
requires managing interoperability from a dynamic perspective: a
relevant and efficient collaboration of organizations might require
adaptation to remain in line with potentially changing objectives,
evolving resources, and unexpected events, for example. Many of the
papers contained in this, the seventh volume of Proceedings of the
I-ESA Conferences have examples and illustrations calculated to
deepen understanding and generate new ideas. The I-ESA'14
Conference is jointly organised by Ecole des Mines Albi-Carmaux, on
behalf of PGSO, and the European Virtual Laboratory for Enterprise
Interoperability (INTEROP-VLab) and supported by the International
Federation for Information Processing (IFIP). A concise reference
to the state of the art in systems interoperability, Enterprise
Interoperability VI 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.
Enterprise Interoperability is the ability of an enterprise or
organisation to work with other enterprises or organisations
without special effort. It is now recognised that interoperability
of systems and thus sharing of information is not sufficient to
ensure common understanding between enterprises. Knowledge of
information meaning and understanding of how is to be used must
also be shared if decision makers distributed between those
enterprises in the network want to act consistently and
efficiently. Industry's need for Enterprise Interoperability has
been one of the significant drivers for research into the Internet
of the Future. EI research will embrace and extend contributions
from the Internet of Things and the Internet of Services, and will
go on to drive the future needs for Internets of People, Processes,
and Knowledge.
The objective of this book is to provide a valuable compendium of
problems as a reference for undergraduate and graduate students,
faculty, researchers and practitioners of operations research and
management science. These problems can serve as a basis for the
development or study of assignments and exams. Also, they can be
useful as a guide for the first stage of the model formulation,
i.e. the definition of a problem. The book is divided into 11
chapters that address the following topics: Linear programming,
integer programming, non linear programming, network modeling,
inventory theory, queue theory, tree decision, game theory, dynamic
programming and markov processes. Readers are going to find a
considerable number of statements of operations research
applications for management decision-making. The solutions of these
problems are provided in a concise way although all topics start
with a more developed resolution. The proposed problems are based
on the research experience of the authors in real-world companies
so much as on the teaching experience of the authors in order to
develop exam problems for industrial engineering and business
administration studies.
In recent years, the supply chain has become a key element to the
survival and prosperity of organisations in different industry
sectors. Organisations dealing in dynamic business environments
demand supply chains that support the satisfaction of customer
needs. The principles of lean thinking that once permeated
standalone organisations have now been transferred to the supply
chain, making imperative the development of innovative approaches
to supply chain management. Customer-driven Supply Chains:
Strategies for Lean and Agile Supply Chain Design reviews the
concept of lean thinking and its relationship to other key
initiatives associated with supply chain management. Detailed
industrial case studies based on the authors' experience illustrate
the principles behind lean supply chains. Moreover, a series of
diagrams are used to illustrate critical concepts and supply chain
architectures. Special emphasis is placed on the importance of
transferring lean principles from the organisational level to the
supply chain level. The theory and principles behind lean supply
chains are reviewed. Other concepts related to lean supply chains
discussed in the book include: mass customisation, agility,
information sharing and the bullwhip effect. A methodology used to
measure the performance of supply chains is introduced; this
methodology comprises the tools of decision timeline, data-flow
diagramming, supply chain value stream mapping and a performance
measurement scorecard. Readers will gain a clear picture of the
competitive implications of lean supply chains. Customer-driven
Supply Chains: Strategies for Lean and Agile Supply Chain Design
will be a valuable resource of material to students studying supply
chain/operations management as well as researchers in this field.
Industry practitioners will learn how to develop sound supply chain
strategies that can have a positive impact in their organisation.
Within a scenario of globalised markets, where the capacity to
efficiently cooperate with other firms starts to become essential
in order to remain in the market in an economically, socially and
environmentally cost-effective manner, it can be seen how the most
innovative enterprises are beginning to redesign their business
model to become interoperable. This goal of interoperability is
essential, not only from the perspective of the individual
enterprise but also in the new business structures that are now
emerging, such as supply chains, virtual enterprises,
interconnected organisations or extended enterprises, as well as in

Interoperability V ranges from academic research through case
studies to industrial and administrative experience of
interoperability. The international nature of the authorship
contnues to broaden. Many of the papers have examples and
illustrations calculated to deepen understanding and generate new
ideas. The I-ESA'12 Conference from which this book is drawn was
organized by Polytechnic University of Valencia, on behalf
INTERVAL, and the European Virtual Laboratory for Enterprise
Interoperability (INTEROP-VLab) and sponsored by the International
Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) and the International

One of the trends in the global market is the increasing
collaboration among ent- prises. Constant changes in inter- and
intra-organizational environments will persist in the future.
Organizations have to flexibly and continuously react to (imminent)
changes in markets and trading partners. Large companies but also
SMEs have to cope with internal changes from both a technical
(e.g., new information, communi- tion, software and hardware
technologies) and an organizational point of view (e.g., merging,
re-organization, virtual organizations, etc.). In this context, the
competiti- ness of an enterprise depends not only on its internal
performance to produce products and services, but also on its
ability to seamlessly interoperate with other enterprises. External
and internal collaborative work needs more interoperable solutions.
The International Workshop on Enterprise Interoperability, IWEI,
aims at identi- ing and discussing challenges and solutions with
respect to enterprise interoperability, both at the business and
the technical level. The workshop promotes the development of a
scientific foundation for specifying, analyzing and validating
interoperability solutions; an architectural framework for
addressing interoperability problems from different viewpoints and
at different levels of abstraction; a maturity model to eva- ate
and rank interoperability solutions with respect to distinguished
quality criteria; and a working set of practical solutions and
tools that can be applied to interoperab- ity problems to date.
IWEI is organized by the IFIP Working Group 5.8 on Enterprise
Interoperability.
