Agent Marketplaces and Deep Learning in Enterprises: The COMPOSITION Project

The Factory of the Future vision focuses on new generation of enterprises that will exploit latest breakthroughs in data sciences and in Internet-connected devices to effectively address the ever increasing pace at which data and goods are nowadays traded. Among the many challenges emerging in this domain, particularly important is the ability to enhance the connection between the value-production chains of factories and the outer network of supply partners, and service providers, that enable enterprise business. In this paper, the authors highlight how the critical issue of connecting inner and outer value chains in factories can be effectively tackled through state-of-the-art IT solutions based on Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things. In particular, the approach to these challenges pursued in the COMPOSITION project is depicted and envisioned solutions are discussed.
