Multiple sectors are experiencing high uncertainty in terms of disruptive technologies and market changes. Continuous uncertainty in business evolution is triggering the need for concepts that explore distributed and open innovation, networking effects, and ambidexterity approaches. Therefore, open innovation, a term that is used to promote a minds...

The practice of collaborative innovation promises added benefits for the concerned stakeholders based on the capacity that the product of the knowledge, experience, and skills shared by the collaborating parties outweighs the sum of all the inputs. However, collaborations also carry the challenge associated with leadership, which is often establish...

Although promoting an innovation ecosystem is a core priority of the European Commission (EC), evidence indicates that innovation within start-ups and Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is still constrained by the lack of funding opportunities. Consequently, their capability to realise proofs of concepts or launch new risky business lines is...

As digital technologies are transforming businesses, the trend of digitalisation has also changed the ways we create value. Maximising value creation necessitates influencing decision-makers, especially in complex knowledge structures and network-based environments.

Autonomous driving is disrupting the automotive industry as we know it today. For this, fail-operational behavior is essential in the sense, plan, and act stages of the automation chain in order to handle safety-critical situations on its own, which currently is not reached with state-of-the-art approaches. The European ECSEL research project PRYST...

The rising demand for adaptive, cloud-based and AI-based systems is calling for an upgrade of the associated dependability concepts. That demands instantiation of dependability-orientated processes and methods to cover the whole life cycle. However, a common solution is not in sight yet That is especially evident for continuously learning AI and/or...

Cybersecurity is given a prominent role in curbing risks encountered by novel technologies, specifically the case in the automotive domain, where the possibility of cyberattacks impacts vehicle operation and safety.

This paper strays away from technical development. Its motive is to establish a process and define an adequate set of high-level generic measures...

Digital transformation fundamentally changes established practices in public and private sector. Hence, it represents an opportunity to improve the value creation processes (e.g., “industry 4.0”) and to rethink how to address customers' needs such as “data-driven business models” and “Mobility-as-a-Service”. Dependable, collaborative and autonomous...

Infrastructure planning of transport and mobility is a very complex and challenging issue for planners and decision-makers. Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) allow here not only improved information and planning in singular vehicle but optimization of the overall traffic and consideration of special needs. Understanding the design,...

Autonomous driving has the potential to disruptively change the automotive industry as we know it today.
