WP8: Real Case Studies
•
Goal:
–
–
Test beds for the research results and algorithms developed in the
theoretical work packages.
Central to this work package shall be the common methodology and
tools produced in WP6.
Requirements
•
Method:
1. develop all demonstrators as evolutionary prototypes;
2. develop the demonstrators through several iterations;
3. involve the Demonstration Advisory Boards as reviewers.
•
Guides :

Review
1. (i) to help team members to join the developers’ team or show the
demonstrator at any time;
2. (ii) ease technology transfer (from the software development and
commercial perspectives).
We defend that this strategy is compulsory if we intend to exploit our
demonstrators as part of our technology transfer strategy

Overview
• Motivation and goals
• Proposed scenario
• Why agreement technologies?
• Planning
Motivation
The organisational structure of enterprises
is changing
Increment of outsourced activity
From monolithic to collaborative structures
that tend to reduce their size

Motivation
Business partners are moving from the
roles of suppliers, manufacturers, and
customers to the role of collaborators
In this environment, the choice of the best
business partners is critical
Goals
• Companies are in need for:
– Support to swiftly create business
collaborations that allow them to readily
respond to chaning market needs
– Tools that allow them to quickly react to
exceptions so that their goals can still be
achieved.
Proposed scenario
• Supply chain automation

Why agreement technologies?
•
Negotiation
– Supply chain formation and reconfiguration require
agreements among self-interested partners
•
Trust
– Fundamental to achieve robust supply chains that
prevent failures
•
Norms and organisations
– The result of agreements take the shape of norms or
organisations
eProcurement Advisory Board
– Javier Aróstegui, Director General of iSOCO,
S.A., and President of the B2B Committee of
the Asociación Española de Comercio
Electrónico
– Mariano Tristán, Procurement Manager at
Lilly Group
– Xavier Salrà, Consulting Manager for the
Public Sector at Hewlett-Packard
– Rafel Bernadas, ITC Coordinator, Economy
and Finance Departament, Generalitat de
Catalunya

Task 8.2: mWater Demonstrator
www.agreement-technologies.org
Task 8.2: mWater Demonstrator
Motivation. The mWater demonstrator addresses
scenarios where there are conflicts over different basin
waters, in many cases, caused by potential or actual water
scarcity.
Objectives. The mWater demonstrator has the goal of
providing an efficient allocation of water resources based
on a system of voluntary trade in water, which brings
potentially large benefits to all parties involved.

mHealth demonstrator
Overview
• Introduction: Aims and scope
• Proposed scenario
• Why agreement technologies?
• Planning
Introduction
•
WP8 Real case studies:
– Objectives:
• Test beds for the research results and algorithms developed
in the theoretical work packages
– Apply the common methodology and the tools
produced in WP6 (Tool suite).
– Based on the software architecture and the
Multiagent system platform developed in WP7
– Methodology:
• Evolutionary prototypes through several iterations
• Demonstration Advisory board
– Expected outcome:
• Usable software (technology transfer)
– Programmers’ and demonstrators’ guide
Introduction
•
mHealth demonstrator:
– Medical emergency assistance for people on
the move
– Motivation:
• Requires on-the-fly agreements among
heterogeneous organizations
• Practical relevance
– Bias towards health applications
– Added value for tourist services

Why agreement technologies?
Semantics:
• Ad-hoc communication between different organizations
• Heterogeneous representation
languages for data and services
• Heterogeneous descriptions of
services and data
E.g.: medical record data exchange
23
Why agreement technologies?
Argumentation and negotiation:
• Requires agreements among
independent organizations
E.g.: find a hospital for a Alice’ treatment
24
Why agreement technologies?
Trust:
• Health is a trust sensitive domain
E.g.: ask for a “second opinion”
25
Why agreement technologies?
Norms and Organizations:
• To define the relationships among participating organizations
• Efficient teamwork among participants
• Agreement planning
E.g.: arrange Alice’ transfer to
another hospital
26
Planning
•
First steps:
– To define the concrete application scenario
• Basically in cooperation with Fuenlabrada Public Hospital
– Comments/questions:
• The envisioned international scenario is interesting but difficult to
implement
• Maybe we should concentrate on a smaller rather local scenario
– Closer to “real world”
– Higher possibility for technology transfer (commercial perspective)
•
