Time: Friday June 2, 14h-16h Place: *room * *D.1.07*, building D, VUB ------------------------------ Service-oriented communities: A novel architecture for smarter systems and organizations Vincenzo De Florio Abstract: Our turbulent and resource-scarce times force us to reconsider the design of our organizations and systems. In the new context, traditional solutions reveal all their idiosyncrasies and fragility: they use up too many resources; do not scale well; are intolerable to changes; and fail to address novel aspects and requirements. In addition, traditional organizations provide their users with products that are static, unevolving, close-data black boxes, which forces the user to accommodate their needs after the available immutable product types. This is exemplified in this lecture by considering two classes of traditional organizations. It is argued that much of the fragility of those classes stems from their adoption of a product-dominant logic. This results in "local and static" operation [1] that does not match with the requirements of our global and highly dynamic societies. My stance here is that "smarter" ways are possible and feasible. Novel organizations should be built starting from a service-dominant logic and approaches such as self-servicing protocols and "metarchies". This is exemplified in this seminar by considering the Service-oriented Community -- a novel organizational architecture for "smarter" systems and organizations.
