The conference was very interesting and rich in content. It started with an informative and enlightening mini-course on digitalization concepts by workers from SINTEF DIgital. Presenters at the main conference included Tina Todnem from Equinor and Walter Qvam from DigitalNorway. The afternoon session on open data access was especially interesting, with a description by Equinor of their Volve data set, the Mongstad Technology Centre of their data sharing, Cognite of their work on liberation of operational data and SINTEF on models for open software development.

The post Envisage Project Final Review appeared first on Sirius.

The Cloud is changing the way companies access their applications, process their data and manage their infrastructure. What are the implications of this for the oil and gas supply chain. How can current and future research and development ensure that the Cloud improves the quality and availability of data for decision-making in oil and gas.

The SIRIUS Centre is holding a workshop on the Cloud in oil and gas in Oslo on Friday 18th November 2016. At this seminar we will gain an insight into how operating companies and key vendors are viewing the cloud and we will discuss together where research should be focussed. You will also get an opportunity to be updated on important European research projects on cloud computing: Envisage, HyVar, PaaSage and Melodic.

Where: Clarion Royal Christiania Hotel, Biskop Gunnerus’ gate, Oslo

When: Friday 18th November.

Cost: The workshop is free. We will invoice no-shows  NOK 500 to cover the cost of refreshments. Registrations from non-partners in SIRIUS will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.

• Factories of the Future (EFFRA)
• Energy-efficient buildings
• Sustainable Process Industry (SPIRE)
• European Green Vehicles Initiative

David Cameron represented SIRIUS at the meeting, with the aim of establishing contact with the participants in the relevant PPPs and investigating how the ICT can be used as an enabling The technology for innovation in these areas. The presentations at the meeting made it clear that the EU sees a need for coordinating their ICT programs and, especially, the Factories of the Future research programs.  A speech to this effect was made by Khalil Rouhana, Director for Digital Industry in DG-CNECT. This is being done in 2016 through two Horizon 202o calls:

• FOF-09-2017 Novel design and predictive maintenance technologies for increased operating life of production systems
• FOF-12-2017 ICT Innovation for Manufacturing SMEs (I4MS)

During the networking session in the afternoon there were a number of ICT research organizations that sought partners with maintenance problems that could be addressed. The SPIRE program, for the process industries, did not appear to have any relevant calls for application of ICT.

SIRIUS strongly support the linkage of the EU´s ICT programs and their cross-cutting programs. Digitalization means that the ICT research sector must deliver value by solving problems in Europe´s factories, chemical plants and mines. By doing this they can establish a powerful and productive ICT and analytics industry. However, it is the businesses that own the problems that ICT can solve. This requires a shared digital vision between the cross-cutting PPPs above and the Big Data Value Association. SIRIUS is a Full Member of BDVA and will work to build up this linkage between industry and ICT.
