abstract

  • A platform for advanced Collaborative Working Environments (CWEs) has been designed based on principles of Open Service Oriented Architecture (OSOA). The multilayer architecture design
    realizes decoupled building blocks to deal with different aggregation
    levels of business functionality, namely Collaborative Core Services,
    Software Collaboration Tools, Orchestration Capabilities and Living Lab
    Applications. Additionally, a Control BUS has been conceptualized and
    implemented in order to enable component registration and brokerage for
    component reusability across Living Labs. The architecture design
    provides a reference framework for the individual Rural Living Lab
    flavored implementations that reflect local specifics of the overall
    concept as a result of the contextual "engineering target point".
