Boosting Services and Information in Adaptive Networked Enterprises
September 3 - 12, 2008, L'Aquila, Italy The goals of flexibility and globalization force enterprises to both decentralize their activities and continuously (re)structure their network of relationships, both regarding their productive "supply chain" as well as their design and innovation processes. Such networks maximize the level of confidence of each player and its willingness to cooperate, by distinguishing between knowledge that can be shared and knowledge that should be protected since it pertains to an individual player. In this context, identifying the basic determinants affecting the establishment of reliable and effective networks becomes crucial. To pursuit such results, one needs to deal with several issues: Organization and business models for networked enterprises; Acquisition, modeling and automatic management of business knowledge derived from heterogeneous sources, including natural language; Autonomic and reconfigurable systems supporting the operation of the network; Management of Technological autonomic pervasive infrastructure, based on smart peripheral devices (Wireless Sensor Networks and RFID). |

 The GII Doctoral School in Computer Engineering is organized by GII (Gruppo Ingegneria Informatica), in collaboration with GRIN (Gruppo di Informatica), as a common educational place for the doctoral university students from Italy and abroad with strong motivation towards Computer Engineering and Computer Science disciplines and applications. The GII school aims to be an international forum where doctoral students may meet, discuss and learn.
 The school contributes to the education of students providing thematic lectures on relevant scientific and technological topics and occasions to meet and share experiences with colleagues and teachers. The model of the schools is that of a “full immersion” experience far from the usual activities of the students in their departments.
Every year a program is proposed that is focused on relevant topics covering foundational and research aspects as well as social and economic implications and their applicative fallout. In this respect, besides members of the academia, also experts from industry, public administration and private companies are invited as lecturers.
The school comprises assessments of activity and involvement of the participants accordingly to suggestions of the teachers. The evaluations may be reported to the students' institutions to be converted in educational credits.
  The school has been hosted in Rovereto (1995), Pavia (1996), Benevento (1997), Como (1998), Torino (1999 and 2000), Volterra (2002), Siena (2003), Benevento (2004), Siena (2005), Padova (2006), and Palermo (2007). An average of 50 students per year has taken part to the school.  The school will be held in conjunction with the ASE 2008 conference. Registration is opened to doctoral students in Computer Engineering and Computer Science at no cost. The GII particularly encourages the participation of foreign students. |
