Distributed Systems

Evolutionary Expansion, Revolutionary Impact

What is it about?

Humanity is currently building a gigantic, globally distributed network driven by a whole range of technological and organizational developments such as:

• Internet of Things (IoT),

• Cloud Computing,

• Industry 4.0 and connected production systems,

• Cyber-physical systems and autonomous objects,

• Generative manufacturing technologies,

• And much more.

The increasing interconnectivity enables and demands new business models, new processes, and new forms of collaboration and organization. There is hardly a discipline that is not affected by this revolution: ad-hoc business process and requirement design, system architecture, decentralized controllability, mobile communication, real-time capability, sensors, embedded systems, context sensitivity, user experience, project management, agile development methods, work organization, self-organization, cross-company interdisciplinary cooperation, etc.

Many of these topics and associated solutions are actively addressed by oose: Adaptive Case Management, agile project management, Software Craftsmanship, agile architectures, functional architectures, agile BPM, dynamic organizations, Design Thinking, innovation culture, UX – all these approaches deal with complexity in new ways. We are driven by the question of how these various disciplines can interact constructively and pioneeringly in this revolutionary context. The emerging complexity and dynamics, dealing with the unpredictable and unforeseeable, and the loss of causal connections are the greatest challenges for which we develop and offer many new ideas, practices, methods, and theories.

 Conference Talks

• DDS - The Reliable Foundation of the Industrial Internet of Things. Stephan Roth, Felix Heppner (Lecture at the building iOT Conference 2016, Cologne)

• What You Should Know About MBSE, PLM, and Industry 4.0. Ulrich Sendler, Tim Weilkiens. Lecture: Systems Engineering Day 2013, November 7, 2013, Stuttgart Industry 4.0 is currently a frequently used term. In its wake, there is also talk of Cyber-Physical Systems, Internet of Things, intelligent technical systems, and Smart Factories. The high significance for the German industry, as well as Systems Engineering and PLM as necessary techniques, is emphasized. The terms and their interconnections are interpreted and used very differently. Opportunists use them without substance in marketing. This contribution brings clarity to the terminology and highlights the importance of Systems Engineering and PLM for Industry 4.0.

• Handling the Unpredictable - Why It Concerns Us All. What do NoSQL, Adaptive Case Mgmt., SW-Craftsmanship, agile BPM, agile SW-Architecture, Design Thinking, Scrum, dynamic organizations, Industry 4.0, and Soft Skills have in common? Exactly: they all practice dealing well with the unpredictable. (Pecha-Kucha lecture series at OOP 2014, Munich)
