Enterprise Interoperability (eBook)

Prof. Doumeingts has a long career in the domain of Enterprise Integration, has developed the GRAI Model and the Grai method which are today a reference for Enterprise Integration and Enterprise Interoperability. He has supervised more than 20 PhD on the subject and was Project Manager of more than 20 European projects on the subject. Prof. Doumeingts act also as consultant for European Companies and give International seminars on the subject. Prof. Dr. Jörg P. Müller holds a Chair for Business Information Technology at Technical University of Clausthal. Previously, Jörg was Principal Researcher with Siemens AG, John Wiley & Sons, Zuno Ltd., Mitsubishi Electric, and the German Artificial Intelligence Research Center. He holds a Ph.D. from Saarbrücken University and an M.Sc. in Computer Science from Kaiserslautern University. Within the last fifteen years, he has published more than 100 papers on intelligent agents and multi-agent systems, business information systems and distributed computing. His current research interests include technologies for interoperability, model-driven business process automation, and business applications of agent technology, peer-to-peer and grid computing. Professor Gerard Morel is currently Head of the research programme of CRAN University H. Poincare Nancy on 'Manufacturing Engineering and Automation'. He is currently chairman of the IFAC TC 5.1. on 'Manufacturing Plant Control', Europe Editor of the International Journal of Intelligent Manufacturing and Expert-evaluator for the European Commission IST programme.
