Enterprise Interoperability IX

Prof. Bernard Archimede received the PhD degree in Computer Sciences applied to Industry from the University Bordeaux 1 in 1991. Since this date, he is researcher in the Laboratory Génie de Production (LGP) of the National School of Engineers at Tarbes (ENIT) where he is Full Professor. His research deals with the distributed software architectures and their applications to the multisite scheduling and the control of complex systems. He was head of DIDS (Dynamic Decision and Interoperability for Systems) research team until September 2016. Since, he is deputy director of the Production Engineering Laboratory. He is also the president of the GSO pole (Grand Sud-Ouest) of the International Virtual Laboratory INTEROP-VLab for Enterprise Interoperability. Prof. Archimede has published more than 100 papers in international journals and conferences. He has broad interest on distributed planning architectures, distributed simulation, multiagent systems and interoperability. He coordinated many research projects including a lot industrial collaboration. 
Prof. Yves Ducq is full Professor and vice-President of University of Bordeaux in charge of continuous improvement and documentation. Yves Ducq is Doctor from University Bordeaux 1 in Production Management and Enterprise Modelling. He received his PhD degree at the University Bordeaux 1 in 1999 and received his Accreditation to Supervise Research in 2007. He is working on Performance Measurement, Enterprise Modelling, Production Management and Interoperability and has published more than 40 papers in books and international journals and more than 100 papers in international conferences. Prof. Ducq has been involved on several European projects for twenty years and particularly in the frame of IMS - GLOBEMAN 21 (FP4), Growth - EUROSHOE, IST - CENNET (cooperation with China) and IST - UEML of the FP5. He was strongly involved in INTEROP Network of Excellence, and is now President of virtual laboratory on interoperability: INTEROP Vlab. He is also involved in many French research projects. He has also act as research engineer on several contracts with industry on performance improvement and quality. In the frame of his vice-presidency, he is in charge to spur projects related to continuous improvements, quality, process simplification, accreditations and open science.
Prof. Bob Young is Visiting Professor of Manufacturing Informatics in the Wolfson School of Mechanical, Electrical and Manufacturing Engineering at Loughborough University in the UK. He is also Managing Director of Redwood Informatics Limited, who provide informatics consultancy support to manufacturing industry. He has some 45 years' experience in new product development and manufacturing engineering, working both in UK industry and in academia. Prof Young's research has been funded directly by industry, by UK funding agencies and by the EU.  As well as support for industry, his work has led to around 200 research publications and some 20 PhD completions. His research is focused on exploiting advanced Information and Communications Technologies to aid multi-disciplinary teams of engineers in their decision-making through the provision of timely, high quality information and knowledge.  To that end his research in recent years has been heavily focused towards the development and use of formal ontologies as a basis for effective knowledge sharing and interoperability in manufacturing. Prof Young works with a broad range of manufacturing companies from large multi-nationals in the aerospace and automotive sectors to more local manufacturing SMEs. In this latter area he is a director of TANet, an organisation aimed at providing support to the UK SME manufacturing sector. As well as working closely with industry, Prof Young is committed to developing effective information standards for manufacture. To that end he has been d
