ADiWa

From the Internet of Things to intelligent business processes:

The project ADiWa is researching technologies for corporate applications, which will enable complex and dynamic business processes to be planned, controlled and executed dynamically using information taken directly from the physical world – the "Internet of Things". This represents a significant component for "digital companies" and also clearly highlights the direct contextual relationship with the Software Cluster. Conceptual challenges within ADiWa include the following three areas:

Utilization of process-relevant information from the Internet of Things
Flexible design and dynamic alignment of business processes within companies
Interactive support of decision-making processes at all levels

These areas will be looked into within the scope of seven technology work packages, and the participating partners will develop solutions and components for these. Additional domain-specific scenarios will be implemented in four application work packages, in order to substantiate and evaluate the practical relevance of the results.

These results will also serve as a basis for further activities in both the scientific and business environments. With regard to research activities, the continuation of work within the scope of the projects of the Software Cluster is of elemental importance. A lively exchange of information is already taking place that is also manifesting itself in the activities in the joint projects, and the results and concepts in the areas of interoperability, adaptivity, user interfaces and IT security are of particular importance here.
