Project Title: NisB - The Network is the Business

nisb
Funding Scheme: STREP
Description: NisB will allow small and medium businesses to easily and affordably connect, align, exchange data and complete transactions with peers they have little common business language with. NiSB will look into innovative low-cost means of establishing mappings for semantic interoperability while addressing the ever-changing structure of the business network by employing the inherently low-cost peer-to-peer and pay-as-you-go mechanisms.
Objectives: The main objective of the NisB project is to provide ICT support for value networks of SMEs, namely hierarchical supply chains or dynamic business ecosystems, thereby rendering them the primary facilitators of innovative networked businesses. The novelty in NisB is using the network itself as a distributed repository and dispenser of the information and knowledge needed to conduct the networked business. NisB is a multi-disciplinary research project with contributions in both the ICT, Business and Science dimensions:
  • Software Platform. Building the ICT-support and the user-centric tooling that proves the feasibly of the NisB approach in real use cases, as well as showcase advanced HINB scenarios that are not enabled at present.
  • Business. Developing business model archetypes for stimulating the on-demand exchange and trade of interoperability information while balancing effort and gain, and controlling involved risks.
  • Scientific. Developing the scientific basis of sharing and reusing fragments of interoperability information. The research includes algorithms and protocols for harnessing the Wisdom of the Network that is encapsulated in dynamically forming value networks.
