MTSEC 2018 - Models and Techniques for Situation-aware Enterprise Computing (MTSEC)

Sensor networks and the Internet of Things greatly enhance the capability of systems to detect situations of interest by monitoring their environment. Situations of interest can be very diverse and depend on the business objectives of the enterprise in which such systems are being used. As two extremes, consider for example early warning systems for detecting situations that are relevant to the management of natural disasters, and combat management systems for detecting situations that are relevant to combat and maritime security operations. This trend of using situation-awareness in order to improve decision-making and response services can nowadays be observed in many business sectors and spawned new paradigms like smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0. In this workshop, we address the challenges of designing situation-aware enterprise computing, including the modelling and detection of situations, the provisioning of situation-triggered services within and across business organizations, and the contribution of services to the business value chain and business objectives.
