Project Name: Interactive Collaborative Information Systems
Abbreviation: ICIS Start date:
March 1, 2005 End date:
December 31, 2009 Project Description:
Decision making processes are getting more and more complex. These
processes are generally being confronted with so called chaotic
complex environments, e.g. environments that constantly change in
reaction to different causes that are not easily influenced. This
greatly increases the possibilities for making the wrong choices,
resulting in enormous damage, for society and financially.
Enhanced complexity and increased risks makes the dependency of
industry and organizations on support to come to the right decisions
essential. Employment of Collaborative Decision Support Systems, a
combination of innovative intelligent agents, self learning and
human-computer interface technology, can prevent that chaos in the
environment leads to chaos in the decision making processes.
This analysis has lead to the ICIS program (Interactive Collaborative
Information Systems). ICIS is an initiative of nine leading parties
in
this technology field. It clusters the main technology strengths of
the Dutch industrial and scientific knowledge infrastructure in this
field in a national network and enables a knowledge leap through
strong research clusters and a knowledge transfer program, resulting
in high added value economic growth.
The objective of ICIS is to generate a strategic impulse for the
Dutch
scientific and industrial knowledge position in intelligent
collaborative information systems technology. This impulse is given
through 4 Research Clusters and a Knowledge Transfer program,
formulated by top researchers from science and industry. ICIS will
ensure the realization of the future potential of decision support
technology as a source of economic growth in a highly productive,
sustainable, knowledge driven economy. Furthermore, ICIS aims to
strengthen the Dutch knowledge position in the global environment of
intelligent systems technology.
The main reasons for the ICIS project are:
- To maintain and strengthen the - up to now - strong intelligent
systems technology position of the involved scientific/industrial
groups in the Netherlands;
- To ensure the future availability of well trained academics for
Dutch intelligent systems industry;
- To strengthen the Dutch knowledge infrastructure through a
comprehensive knowledge transfer program, leading to industrial
applications.
Project Funding
ICIS is one of the Bsik projects. The purpose of this subsidy is to
provide more usable knowledge and research capacity in the
Netherlands.
The project is planned to start early in 2004
