OBJECTIVES SCOPE
The core objective of WP6 is to conceive a
reference framework of an ICT infrastructure
(ICT-I) for future CNOs doing business together.
This includes principles of collaboration and
semantics interoperation, new business models to
exploit the ICT-I, and information security.

EXTERNAL TRENDS ON ICT INFRASTRUCTUREs
Literature Conferences Projects sites Products
and Initiatives (OMG, Rosettanet, IBM Web sphere,
BEA WebLogic, ASP, SAP Netweaver, OAGIS,
) Standards (XML, web services, ebXML, X509,
) Experience Soft. Eng. Method. ITs (OO, MAS,
components, EAI, composite software, Grid,
wireless, )

• too complex, not feasible for SMEs
• very sensible to changes in the supporting ITs
• not enough open scalar
• not designed for CNOs
• not flexible to support multiple levels of
  security
• 100 web-services-oriented ?!

AIMED INNOVATION
A generic framework designed to cope with the
needs of future CNOs

• Transparent use
• Technology-independent
• Plug Play
• Hybrid service model
• - remote access services
• - downloadable services.
• Fit on demand (dynamic services orchestration)
• Support for pervasive computing wireless
  access
• Dynamic security setting-up
• New business models for transparent ICT
  infrastructures.

STRATEGIC KEY RESULTS
Plug and Play Collaboration Infrastructure Concept
ion of a reference architecture for
technology-independent, transparent, easy to use,
plug play horizontal infrastructure to support
collaboration and guarantee semantic
interoperability and multi-level dynamic
configurable security.

• Finalization 1st reference framework for the
  ICT-I (D61.1)
• Implementation of the 1st version of the ICT-I
  prototype (D61.3).
• WP6.2
• Development of the framework for BMs as well as
  their characterizations (D62.1).
• WP6.3
• Development of the security framework for CNOs
  (D63.1).

Milestone 1
WP6

• M1 (month 12)
• Reference ICT-I framework for CNOs.
• Strategies for specific business models for
  horizontal ICT infrastructures for CNOs.
• Methodology for configurable multi-level security
  architecture for CNOs.

ANNEX

WP6 VISION
A CNO actor can have access to the ICT-I
high-level services via the ECOLEAD portal, in
a very easy and fast way, from wherever it is,
whenever it wants and using whatever (computing
device) it has, with a transparent and dynamic
infrastructure services deployment, with the
required level of security, access rights and
configurable external visibility, using the
necessary computing resources and required
desired services to do what it has to do, sure it
will be understood, taking into account its
current role at the given VO, leaving available
its virtual clone (avatar) to represent it / to
respond by it while it is not available and that
can learn from its use, and to move to / continue
its operation in another (heterogeneous)
computing environment from the point it was in
the previous environment.
