Challenges from an industrial point of view
Conclusions – main interests of AUDI/VW mainly DATA management and development of problem solving environments (workflows and industrial collaboration) standardisation (robustness) of generic and sector specific middleware, use of common open industry standards promote de facto standards (discussions with Renault and also other OEM´s) application of mechanisms for trust and security development and application of grid based data mining tools
⇒ first achievements of SIMDAT indicate that AUDI/VW
will be able to apply GRID concepts in the near future 19.Spetember 2006 Dr. Widmann, AUDI AG, Ingolstadt
