Projects

I have participated in several research projects:

• IO Center

  
  - Valuation method for Integrated Operations

Technological advancements are deployed and integrated in a composite manner changing organisational structures, roles and processes in order to improve collaboration and decision-making. Therefore, value must also be measured by accounting for improved decision-making and execution. Improved decisions are the result of integrated competencies and leveraged knowledge in multi-disciplinary collaborative operations.



• SPICE

  
  - Service Platform for Innovative Communication Environment - the FP6 IST project

This project will research, prototype and evaluate an extendable overlay architecture and framework to support, easy and quick service creation, test and deployment of intelligent mobile communication and information services. Building on significant advances in IT technologies, the SPICE platform will support multiple heterogeneous execution platforms allowing for new, innovative services to be spread across different operator domains and over different countries realizing a variety of business models.
For users, operators and service providers, the SPICE project will turn today's confusing heterogeneity into an easily manageable and rich service environment by exploiting the diversity of device capabilities and fostering service adoption. The SPICE approach will broaden business opportunities in the communications and associated business sectors.



• IIP

  
  - Integrated Information Platform for Reservoir and Subsea Production Systems - funded by NFR (Norwegian Research Council)

The objective of this project is to create an integrated information platform. It will enable multi-disciplinary teams to work simultaneously in an integrated operation environment that may consist of many operation centres geographically dispersed over wide distances. The integrated information platform will be enabled by integrating several industrial data and technical standards, and also by adding new terminology. The project will also develop prototype tools for near real time off- and onshore decision support of reservoirs and subsea production facilities.
To overcome proprietary and system dependent data definition that prohibits effective exchange, sharing and integration of information, ISO 15926 Integration of Life Cycle Data for Oil and Gas Process Plants Including Facilities, has been the chosen as a starting point. This international data standard is based on an ontology and first order logic and has a generic concept model that makes it ideal as an integration platform for other standards and also makes it ideal for use by Web Ontology Language (OWL).



• MINE

  
  - Methodologies for Interactive Networked Enterprises - funded by NordForsk

The aims of the network are to unify forces on critical targets for Information System researchers in co-evolving environment of Semantic Web and Enterprises. Because of great variety of methods, tools and researchers profiles involved in this field, two main problems are: lack of integration of different methodologies and tools, and poor collaboration between different expertise groups.
Activities of this project (thematic workshops and lectures; exchange of ideas, tools and methodologies; cooperation for preparation of joint project funded under the Framework Programme) are directed for: finding common ground for coalescence of strong scientific results of participants to respond to current challenges of enterprises and social communities needs; to train at least 15 doctoral and post-doctoral reseachers for core techniques of every partner; to involve them into prolonged inter-disciplinary colaborative research, promote leadership skills, ensuring career expansion in headmost fields.



• ITEROP Network of Excellence

  
  - Interoperability Research for Networked Enterprises Applications and Software - funded by EU 6th Framework

INTEROP is a Network of Excellence supported by the European Commission for a three-year-period. INTEROP aims to create the conditions of an innovative and competitive research in the domain of Interoperability for Enterprise Applications and Software. The integration will be achieved by the end of the 3-year project duration. Meanwhile, INTEROP spreading of excellence activities should ensure the fertilisation of the largest research community as well as IT providers and users, to provide a durable Virtual Lab on Interoperability beyond the EU-funded period. The objective of the INTEROP Portal is to increase awareness on Interoperability, to keep you informed on the research results developed within the consortium but also to share experiences on collective methods of work. It has has been designed to provide a single point of access to all relevant information and applications, functioning as an access to this interoperability communities of interest and practice.



• Learning Environment for Requirements Engineering


Nordic Grant supported project (2002-2003) - Participants: Karlstad University (Sweden), Norwegian University of Sciene and Technology (Trondheim - Norway), Kaunas University of Science anf Technology (Lithuania)
