Task description

  • Discuss the need for self-organizing systems in industrial applications
  • Give examples of success stories/potentials
  • What is missing to "make things work"?

Results

Industrial View

  • Collaboration has to improve the Business Case
  • Return on investment
    • Someone has to pay for it
    • Add value
  • Who is in control up to in the end?

Basis for collaboration

  • Bring together industry and academia
    • Two different languages
    • Partnerships
  • Early transfer to the industry
    • NOTE: easier to justify than in the industry
  • Present a benefit to the industry: way to make money
    • New concepts difficult to accept; conservativeness
    • Common set of working assumptions
    • The power of a business plan
    • Do not switch research agenda

What is missing?

  • Research is there; sometimes too advanced
  • Clear understanding on the application of self-organizing principles to the specific application
    • internet-based applications: interaction between human self-organization and overlay network self-organization
    • vehicular communications: micro-macro dependencies
    • future wireless networks: self-organization of heterogeneous networks
    • smart grid: self-organization up to a point, but needs to be able to react to severe oscillations
  • Communication between industrial and academic needs to be improved
    • Research Days
  • Open questions:
    • Who is control up to in the end?
    • Timeliness and external constraints (regulation)

Success stories

  • LTE?!
  • Power distribution
  • Internet-based industrial applications
  • Vehicular networking
