Both are heavily influenced by products of the automotive industry. In order to keep pace with technological innovation, sustainability requirements, and societal changes, the automotive industry has to improve development speed and flexibility. Efficient product development processes can help to achieve these targets. Traditionally, the automotive industry uses plan-based development process models like the waterfall or Vee-model. However, this may not be the most efficient and effective process for all suppliers partaking in automotive product development. Instead of a \"one size fits all\" approach, this research aims at an innovative, digital and adaptive product development process, which integrates the whole value chain including individual requirements of OEM (original equipment manufacturer) and suppliers. The process is digitally modelled as a reference model and allows for simple adaptation. Thus, it allows each development partner to use its plan-based, agile or hybrid development process while ensuring that the results of each partner fit together. Due to its flexible architecture, the adaptive reference model facilitates efficient and effective product development.","PeriodicalId":345917,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE European Technology and Engineering Management Summit (E-TEMS)","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124974811","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is also suggested that enabling the digital transformation in organisations requires addressing carefully various forms of soft factors. The objective of the paper was to build on the current body of knowledge regarding the role of soft factors in digital transformation and to identify and present a retrospective analysis of the soft factors that have contributed to challenges of a major digitalisation project in the health sector in Trondheim-Norway. The major finding from the case study suggest that although commitment by top-management is a critical factor to drive and implement digital transformation, this commitment alone might be counterproductive if it is not balanced with other critical factors such as thorough understanding of the impact of the project on the workload and work process of various end-users of the system. The findings further showed that commitment is also counterproductive if not balanced with the ability to respond and act upon concerns emanating from the end-users. Finally, the study proposed a framework to enable the understanding of the interconnection between various soft factors in digitalisation projects and the impact of this interconnectivity.","PeriodicalId":345917,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE European Technology and Engineering Management Summit (E-TEMS)","volume":"127 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123256570","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It also depends on an achieved level in theory and mathematical description of the internal dynamic processes of different physical nature, simulation of these processes and further practical implementation of the theory into the real technical objects. An important role here plays computing resources which allow to minimize computational time and to increase the complexity of the simulation models. Parallel computing systems open for scientists a new level of simulation, but they also set high requirements on specific knowledge and experience of the users. As a result, granting access to computing resources is not sufficient, specialised training of the personnel is also needed. The same problem appears during the integration of a computing centre into the university educational program – new courses, workshops and learning materials are required. In this paper, we share our experience and a vision, how modern computing resources could be integrated into university life, what challenges and issues can be expected here. Also, we present a new scientific project between Ukrainian and German academia partners which has a goal to enhance accessibility, usability and improve the system organization of parallel computing resources. The project represents a multidisciplinary research area of Parallel Simulation Technology (ParSimTech) and focuses on the creation of the Ukrainian research and training ParSimTech centre.","PeriodicalId":345917,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE European Technology and Engineering Management Summit (E-TEMS)","volume":"159 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122903817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the area of urban health care, smart technologies are not yet widely used. In particular, the nursing care sector offers the opportunity to use such technologies, since it is very difficult to meet the needs that can be identified there in the long term with the current care structures. In Germany — as in many Western countries — ageing of the population has been observed for many years, which is accompanied by an increase in the number of people in need of long-term care. In Germany, it is the responsibility of the welfare state to ensure that nursing care is provided in line with demand and the financing of nursing care is carried out, in part, by the state nursing care insurance scheme and the municipalities. Against this background, solutions are needed that are conducive to cost-effective and needs-based care for the elderly. In this paper, the possible cost savings that could result from large-scale implementation of Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) for the care of elderly people in their homes are outlined.","PeriodicalId":345917,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE European Technology and Engineering Management Summit (E-TEMS)","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134410638","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To keep up with these rapid changes and avoid various risks, it is essential to accelerate the cycle of data collection, analysis, and problem extraction, and to improve the work style. In this context, continuous improvement requires several trials and errors within a short period by reusing and integrating existing devices and services to quickly build and update applications. However, cooperation between existing devices is difficult because of the lack of interoperability. This paper proposes an architecture to bridge the interoperability gap between information models by automatically inserting services to convert the data models. The proposed method is based on an information model that describes application requirements, conversion services, and devices, and then searches for another information model matching these requirements. We demonstrate the feasibility of our approach through experiments.","PeriodicalId":345917,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE European Technology and Engineering Management Summit (E-TEMS)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117254039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To track the quality of the performed work, the parent company dispatches its inspectors to the sites to perform audits, particularly concerning safety and signalling. Since at any given time hundreds of sites can be open, this requires much effort. In this paper, we investigate how to optimize this effort by focusing audits on those sites that are most likely to exhibit problems. Because poorly executed or indicated maintenance works can have a significant impact on road safety and mobility, especially in cities, this will not only reduce the cost for the utility company but also contribute to a healthier and safer environment for residents.","PeriodicalId":345917,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE European Technology and Engineering Management Summit (E-TEMS)","volume":"117 18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126407304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While in many smart cities the digitization of the administrative sector has been the main focus so far, elsewhere developments in the areas of mobility, education, security, data platforms, energy supply and IT infrastructure can also be observed. Digitalization is thus increasingly finding its way into the everyday lives of city dwellers. In addition to many new services and opportunities to use familiar structures more conveniently, this development also presents people with new challenges. Modern technologies require a certain amount of prior knowledge and skills that not all participants in society possess in the same way. Large empirical studies on the use of digital applications show that social markers such as age, gender, but also net disposable income, education, family status and place of residence are influencing factors for digital literacy. The results of these studies suggest that some of these characteristics impede access to digital structures and thus contribute to the exclusion of individual groups from smart cities. This paper, therefore, examines the interactions between age and gender and digital infrastructures.","PeriodicalId":345917,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE European Technology and Engineering Management Summit (E-TEMS)","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132650384","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
