#10 OMiLAB on the EU Innovation Radar!

Hello everyone and welcome to a new edition of our Community Newsletter - let's see what the Community of Practice has been up to recently! ??

EU Innovation Radar

We are incredibly excited to announce that the OMiLAB Digital Innovation Environment (DIEn) has been selected for publication on the EU Innovation Radar under the Horizon project FAIRWork! ?? The Innovation Radar is a European Commission initiative to identify high-potential innovations and innovators in EU-funded research and innovation projects. Independent experts gather data and review ongoing projects, from which they select the best innovations. The aim is to encourage the development of a dynamic ecosystem of incubators, entrepreneurs, funding agencies, and investors that can help get EU-funded innovations to market faster. Check out the radar here.

New Bee-Up Extensions ??

If you have been using the Bee-Up Tool ?? for Modelling, we have great news for you: New extensions for the tool are now available!

?? Check out the extensions created by the Community of Practice here

Even better, you have the opportunity to publish your own Bee-Up extension! If you are interested, just send us an email! Keep an eye out for more new extensions coming soon! ??

Get Involved in Upcoming Initiatives & Events

Let's take a look at some future events - we invite you to join us and contribute to the Community of Practice! ??

CALL FOR PAPERS: Data and Knowledge Engineering Special Issue

?? Submission Deadline: 01. February, 2025

The special issue aims to stimulate research work on how the interplay of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Knowledge Graphs (KG) can add context-awareness and reasoning flexibility to information systems, compensating for the semantic loss of rigid system design methods, enabling semantic enrichment and reasoning during IS operation or engineering processes.

CoDEMO Webinar #5 - AI as a Driver for Innovative Collaboration in and across 5.0 Organizations

It explores how AI is shaping productivity, collaboration, and innovation across various industries. Through empirical case studies, including the manufacturing sector and software development in insurance, the presentation illustrates practical human-AI interactions.

Recent Community Activities

Let's take a look at some recent achievements! ?

OMiLAB@UPV Node

WELCOME to the new OMiLAB Node at the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) !

We are thrilled to welcome the 26th Node into the OMiLAB network ????????

OMiLAB@UPV will focus on 5.0 innovation and digital initiatives in industry. ??

This node is led by Prof. Angel Ortiz . It was established as part of the CoDEMO 5.0 project.

OMiLAB@Harokopio University of Athens

Our first node in Greece, namely at the Harokopio University of Athens has been set up this summer, and now you can read all about it at https://www.omilab.org/omilab_nodes/HUA/

Prof. Mara Nikolaidou and Assoc. Prof. Cleopatra Bardaki lead the node at HUA, which aims to support students and researchers in developing ideas and respective models that implement digitization of processes in business and social contexts. More specifically, they will be able to propose, model, and test in lab environment innovative systems, services, and products that utilize state-of-the-art technologies such as IoT, AI etc.

It is our pleasure to have them join the OMiLAB Network of Nodes and if you are in Athens or nearby, don't hesitate to contact them!

OMiLAB-KNOW Workshop at BIR2024

In September, Robert Andrei Buchmann and Emanuele Laurenzi organized the 2nd Workshop on Domain-specific Modeling Methods and Tools - OMiLAB Nodes experience & knowledge exchange (OMILAB-KNOW) at BIR Business Informatics Research Conference . ??

?? Different researchers from the Community of Practice had a chance to present their recent findings and exchange knowledge from their model-driven innovation projects.

?? You can find the workshop's proceedings here.

Digital Business Models Workshop

It was great to contribute to the "Digital Business Models Workshop" at the IT Academy Switzerland! ??

PRO-VE 2024

We had a great time in Albi, France, attending the #PROVE2024 conference and having the opportunity to showcase two of our research projects, CoDEMO 5.0 and FAIRWork ! Next to our booth were the colleagues from the OMiLAB@ BOC Group - Austria presenting their work in Change2Twin !

One of our personal highlights was meeting so many #NEMOAlumni! It was a pleasure to see them again and catch up :)

CoDEMO Updates

As partners of the CoDEMO 5.0 project, we would like to draw your attention to some recent achievements and upcoming activities regarding the 5.0 Journey.

CoDEMO Partner Meeting

In the beginning of October, the project partners got together in Valencia, Spain to reflect on the progress made in the first year of the project and discuss future goals. ?? It was a great way to kick of the second year of the project!

Webinar #3 - Requirements for a skills-based 5.0 transition

The 3rd Webinar on Requirements for a skills-based 5.0 transition took place in October - it was great to hear from our partners at Politechnika Bia?ostocka about some of the results of Work Package 1. ??

Webinar #4 - Preparing healthcare managers for the 5.0 transition - Issues and innovations

How can we address the health, environmental, and digital age concerns of today and tomorrow? In this new environment, how can we maintain a healthcare system that blends efficiency and quality? Some of the questions tackled during the webinar by our partners at école des Mines de Saint-étienne MedTechLab? AéSIO Santé

?? Watch out for more Webinars coming very soon!

It was great to share some of our findings from the project at SID2024! ?? You can watch the recordings here. ?? It was a pleasure to host a workshop with Marquardt Romania - Sibiu and engage with the local students on proposing an innovative idea for a challenge launched to us by the Marquardt Team! The use case referred to: The Product System Test phase, when it is necessary to determine the passed/failed status of tests via network signals analysis.

FAIRWork Updates

Let's take a look at some recent activities from our partners at the FAIRWork project!

FAIRWork Partner Meeting

We have just returned from the FAIRWork Project Partner Meeting ?? We discussed with the consortium how the democratic AI-based decision support system (DAI-DSS) can be used and evaluated by the use case partners. Thank you 伟创力 for hosting us at your Test Development location in Althofen, Austria!
