Currently first steps are taken within research projects to foster uptake and use of Grid in business and society. To lead these ambitions to a success, BREIN takes the e-business concept developed in recent Grid research projects, namely the concept of so-called "dynamic virtual organisations" towards a more business-centric model, by enhancing the system with methods from artificial intelligence, intelligent systems, semantic web etc. Thus, the BREIN project will enable business participants to easily and effectively use Grid technologies for their respective business needs.
The BREIN consortium welcomes you on its website!
Today's world (before BREIN)
In todays world, enterprises, independent of their size, have to cooperate closely with other companies to keep their competitiveness, as no company is capable of fulfilling all requirements alone. But setting up these collaborations is still difficult and extremely costly, difficult to realize and manage and often highly risky for all involved parties. Escpecially for SMEs these collaborations are not really cost-efficien, as they have to put in high efforts to be able to compete on the market with other players.
The world with BREIN
BREIN will enable service providers to reduce costs whilst maximising profit. The framework will automatically adapt to changes in individual business needs and/or environment in an intelligent manner. Cost and effort for service provisioning will be greatly reduced by simplifying business goal definition, intelligent optimisation and decision making support.
The BREIN mission
BREIN will revolutionise electronic business collaborations by taking the classical Grid approach to the next level by • realising intelligent, autonomous resources • supporting complex business definitions • simplifying communication • meeting security, confidentiality & privacy issues • automating collaboration management • intelligently optimising business execution BREIN will combine the flexibility and stability of Grid-technologies with the autonomy of Multi Agent concepts and enhance it with the intelligence and adaptability of AI systems. It will furthermore make extensive use of semantic web’s knowledge management capabilities and embed security technologies into these approaches – All to deliver the powerful business grid of tomorrow.
