Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Information Technology FITEffective networking and collaboration in virtual enterprises requires flexible support well attuned to emerging tasks and processes. Communities must be assisted in sharing experience and knowledge. For over 25 years FIT has successfully designed, implemented, and operated cooperation systems. Being a coordinator of large international projects we developed architectures, standards and reference implementations to enable the interoperability of groupware systems. These developments reduce technical and organizational cooperation barriers.
We focus on:
Efficient cross-organizational collaboration
- Cooperation solutions based on our BSCW system
- Cooperative information systems and energy efficiency analysis
Analysis, design and optimization of communication an cooperation processes
- Social Computing; Enterprise 2.0
- Combined communication and knowledge management
Integrated and interoperable cooperation tools
- Social Computing
- Surface Computing
- Mobile Computing
- Interoperability
