Overview

The aim of the forum – to discuss theoretical approaches and hands-on experience of creating digital convergent collaborative environment which implies convergence within a single “window” of various institutes, advanced technologies of the XXI-st century, manufacturing stages, age groups, etc.

Creation of such an environment requires special tools (in particular, situation centers, distributed situation centers) and technologies (primarily synthesis and conceptual approaches). Specific tools have been developed for municipalities (in the paradigm of a smart municipality), for the system of professional education (network interactive laboratory), for managing distributed resources and objects, and others.
