SOPatTU/e This group collects references to publications in the broad area of simulation of operational processes.
It is targeted at industrial engineering and management science students and junior researchers who have taken a course in simulation modeling and analysis following the book by Averill M. Law and W. David Kelton (2000) (http://www.citeulike.org/group/4984/article/2702174 )

Global_health_enterprise_architecture +++++ 2008/10/7: a paper on Global Health Enterprise Architecture will be presented at the 21st CODATA conference ( http://www.codata.org/08conf/ ); focus is on the "Global Health Enterprise Architecture" descriptors that reflect (elements) of http://www.citeulike.org/user/jago/article/2930315, a document that has served as an input for the Global Strategy and Plan of Action on Public Health, Innovation and intellectual property; this plan of action was endorsed by the World Health Assembly on May 24, 2008 (WHA61.21, see: http://www.who.int/gb/ebwha/pdf_files/A61/A61_R21-en.pdf ); progress regarding its implementation is available from http://www.cohred.org/main/briefing/COHRED_BRIEFING10_JUNE2008.pdf . A supporting topic is in this group's Forum.
+++++ 2008/WINTER: This group lists publications in the area of health care and its enterprise architecture. Prior to developing and deploying a global information system (for health care), enterprise architecture answers questions (Why? When? Who? Where? How? and What?) for stakeholders (users, owners, planners, designers, builders, sub-contractors).
Health care system performance, health worker capacity, access to health knowledge, improved decision and policy making process and better health outcomes for patients are among the areas where ICT-based solutions promise to deliver results (WHO, 2007).
Development and transition under a "Global Health Enterprise Architecture" is indispensable in order for all stakeholders to maximize value (health outcomes) and mitigate risks (health and livelihood erosion). The target services include evidence/benchmarking/assessment enhanced medical guideline services (approved by national and international Public Health institutions) over heterogeneous device networks, such that workflows and reporting by (para-) medical practitioners (and patients) are generated (workflow reflecting the means in the clinical theatre) or aggregated (reporting).
Enterprise architecture helps stakeholders to align change interventions in data and knowledge intensive work systems. An increasingly explicit and common resource base to guide and align ICT-enabled change interventions in health care is emerging. Alongside medical online resources such as provided by NIH, PubMed, HINARI (WHO), and local health knowledge not captured or accessible through formal methods, the resource base includes public sector architectural frameworks, including the Federal Enterprise Architectural Framework of the US Government (FEAF; http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/egov/a-1-fea.html ), the industry driven Integrated Health Enterprise (IHE; http://www.ihe.net/ ) and the UK cross government enterprise architecture and its application in the health care sector(Grewal, 2007). Future clinical practice (bed-side, home or community care, telemedicine, electronic health record (EHR), health management information system (HMIS)...) will be delivered in myriad socio-technical settings (community, hospital, homes, telekiosk, the research lab,...), and it will involve medical knowledge and health data provided via heterogeneous device networks (computer networks, PDAs, mobile phone, Laptops..).

RFID deployment This group brings together research publications that are pertinent to the landscape-wide deployment of rfid technology in logistic and service systems. Focus is on: (i) computation independent models for business operations and business intelligence; (ii) the articulation of reusable landscape models (e.g., incorporating regulations) and industry models (sector models, incorporating industry reference models); (iii) techniques and tools for refining and configuring the computation independent models to meet company-specific logistics and service requirements.
Recommended tags: (A) LEVEL: Macro/Meso/Micro/Pico (from Multi-level perspective (see Geels & Schot, 2007) extended: macro (landscape); meso (industry/regime/sector); micro (firm, organization); pico (person, product/resource individual).
(B) Activity Realm: Diagnostic (paper is concerned with Why?: what problem, opportunity or directive justifies the rfid deployment? ) ; Therapeutic (How must rfid be deployed in the socio-technical system of interest, i.e. the firm, the industry, the plant?)
(C) Industry: use one of the industry (sector) names listed by the World Economic Forum on
http://www.weforum.org/en/knowledge/Industries/index.htm
(D) Models: Textual, ValueRisk, OperationsModel, RequirementsModel

Knowledge_Economy_Reform This group lists publications that question the fitness of industrial-age institutions for the globalizing and knowledge-intensifying economy. Particularly in the software, content and intellectual property sectors it lists analyses of abuses of essential facilities (diagnostic realm) and seeks contributions to architect the enabling environment reforms to curb these abuses (therapeutic realm) so as to accelerate value creation and risk mitigation from knowledge (value proposition).
Ill-designed institutions may lock-in an economy, and public sector enacted barriers are rightly feared by reformers. Yet, also private sector principals may derive rents from positions that act as barriers to others, as recognized by the Essential Facilities Doctrine. Looking at the knowledge economy and the technology and content uses that differentiate it from the industrial economy, it is not evident what exactly are the essential facilities that help or prevent principals exploiting the interdependencies among the division of labour, competence and market size.

Method_Engineering_Services This library will list literature on the architecture description and realization of a Method Engineering Service Environment. A roadmap for a global transition builds upon the enactment and diffusion of this environment. The aimed-for global transition is from a society where most ICT systems operate as islands of automation, to one in which these systems are interoperable. For all members of society, i.e. citizens, firms and public authorities, this interoperability will vastly increase the value construction and risk-reduction that can be achieved with the support of ICT.

e-maintenance Web and wireless enabled information systems are becoming the backbone of the knowledge society, they are contributing to the creation of value and the mitigation of risks in any collaborative endeavour. For complex electromechanical and software-intensive equipment, the transition to e-maintenance involves original equipment manufacturers, the owners and operators of industrial facilities, and their service providers. Narrowly scoped technological and intra-organisational approaches fail to overcome the slow deployment of ICT in maintenance and repair processes.
This group collects references to publications that are relevant to a broad-based transition to e-maintenance.

OER_Open_Educational_Resources Open Educational Resources (OER) was adopted at a UNESCO meeting in 2002 to refer to the open provision of educational resources, enabled by information and communication technologies, for consultation, use and adaptation by a community of users for non-commercial purposes. The participants expressed "their wish to develop together a universal educational resource available for the whole of humanity" and the "hope that this open resource for the future mobilizes the whole of the worldwide community of educators".
For more details, see: http://oerwiki.iiep-unesco.org/index.php?title=Main_Page
