Description
Complex processes in highly heterogeneous and distributed
environments are a major challenge of industrial product
development and service provisioning. Those processes typically
involve a large number of independent organisational entities at
different locations as well as different applications and data
sources.
Based on the application and enhancement of grid technology,
this
challenge is targeted in the EU-funded SIMDAT project
[www.simdat.org]. SIMDAT focuses on four application areas:
product design in the automotive, aerospace and pharma industry
as well as service provisioning in meteorology. Within the first
half of the project important parts of this matrix of
technologies and application areas have successfully been
established.
Technologies for the distributed data access as well as semantic
technologies have been combined in order to provide an
environment which solves typical problems of heterogeneous
data-grids involving complex engineering tools in the automotive
area. This show-case demonstrates how the industrial production
en-vironments can benefit from synergies by the combination of
grid- and semantic technologies.
