Collaboration Issues
3
Pressing problems
Limited visibility of T&L processes and critical events hampers business network efficiency and effectiveness
Closed logistic supply chains hinder agile inter-organizational information exchange and collaboration and access
Highly manual processes are employed to address a lack of standards, legal and governmental regulations, contract management and poor integration between partners
Key Requirements
4
Efficient support for inter-organizational collaboration and contracting in cooperative business networks
Requirement 1
Requirement 2
Seamless integration of information and data along with real-world data acquisition
5
But how?
Project Motivation• Existing ICT solutions insufficient to dynamically establish
collaborative T&L networks, leading to closed supply chains• Closed supply chains disadvantages SMEs in participating in large
collaborative T&L networks• Limited visibility on T&L processes and critical events, as well as lack
of global standards for information exchange hampers business network efficiency and effectiveness
• Project Aims• Build Collaboration & Integration Platform for international T&L
networks, by exploiting generic enablers of the Future Internet Core Platform
• Preparing for the demonstration and evaluation in large-scale trials with real-world use case scenarios
Domain-specific Capabilities for• Efficient inter-organizational collaboration in cooperative business
networks that operate in agile and dynamic environments and involve a multitude of stakeholders
• Seamless integration of information and data in heterogeneous IT landscapes along with embedded facilities for real-world data acquisition and integration

Future Internet + Generic Enablers

Cloud Logistics
• To understand what cloud logistics is you need to understand cloud based computing
7
Cloud Logistics
• Cloud computing can be defined as follows:• An approach to computing that provides
computation, software, data access, and storage services that do not require end-user knowledge of the physical location and configuration of the system that delivers the services. Parallels to this concept can be drawn with the electricity grid, wherein end-users consume power without needing to understand the component devices or infrastructure required to provide the service.Source: Wikipedia
• The benefits of this approach are:• Scalability• Flexibility• Cost• Maintenance• Integration• Virtualization (device location
independence)
Infrastructure as a Service: hosted hardware and management services for the physical components needed to run applicationsPlatform as a Service: facilities for developing and deploying cloud based applicationsSoftware as a Service: cloud based business applications
Cloud Computing Explained

Cloud Logistics
• Cloud logistics is simply the use of cloud based logistics applications and information management services to manage supply chains
9
The FInest Project
• FInest is a cloud logistics project based on the use of Future Internet services
• FInest addresses current transport and logistics issues associated with:• Collaboration• Integration• Visibility• Planning• Contracting• Sense and respond (proactive event management)
10
Consortium
11 partners, 6 countries, 2 SMEs, 1 public body

Proactive Event Monitoring
Transport (Re-)Planning
•Global view & coordination of logistics processes •Service-oriented inter-organizational collaboration manager, targeted to different T&L stakeholders
•Semi-automated e-contract selection and management•Creation of more dynamic marketplaces to seamless support e-contracting (e.g., spot contracting)
•Event-driven monitoring, across domains & modality, providing end-to-end visibility of logistic processes•Proactive event processing driven by contract management and transport planning & triggering transport re-planning
•Dynamic transport (re-)planning facilities, automatically exploiting real-world data

• Based on the real situation, the TPM plans the transport and creates a plan • BCM imports this plan and converts it to the internal representation, based on Collaboration Objects• Based on the plan, BCM registers events to monitor (e.g., ship arrival in Ålesund
• EPM events are used to update the internal model (e.g., ship arrived)• Stakeholders access this information to get up-to-date view on the logistics process• Encapsulation in Collaboration Objects ensures non-disclosure of confidential data

Summary and Questions
• Cloud computing offers significant advantages for “on demand” distributed collaboration
• Cloud based logistics provides a means to rapidly assemble and manage logistics services
• Collaboration “in the cloud” levels the playing field for customers, service providers and regulatory agencies The Future of Supply Chain Management is
in the Clouds
