| In early 80s US and European de-regulation politics for telecommunication inspired my research in (innovative) procurement policies of the telecoms. Few years later digitalization and computers ignited research questions of strategic business opportunities with computing and telecommunication. A concept of digital services network materialized with the Internet leading to studies in e-business and distributed systems. In recent years interest in interoperability and open standards came together in my studies of open source software economics, acquisition, and maturing of standards, networks and new markets for reaching (some) SW interoperability and enterprise integration. Lately, studies of digital business-to-government systems have opened for visions of a ”better government” (OECD) suggesting a merge between government IT architecture guidelines and reference models on the one hand and new forms of IT governance in a context of public (corporate) governance on the other calling upon open standards, internationally agreed interchange document formats, government process models, etc. Empirical studies of open source SW have been conducted for Danish Technology Board (2002), Danish ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation sponsored studies of open source pilot projects (2003-4), and extensive studies of advanced business-to-government systems to discover success drivers and to suggest policy and tools for e-government for business (2003-4). Bringing back key issues and questions to relevant research communities are what we are undertaking presently. From its first inception, Roskilde University fostered as an experimental, inter-disciplinary university became the anvil of my first (many) faculty years. In 1998 I moved to Copenhagen Business School taking up the position as professor in informatics and became director of the new PhD school in Informatics, and now also a member of the academic board.

| Tim Trew, Philips Research Laboratories |
|
|
| Tim Trew is a Research Fellow at Philips Research Laboratories, which he joined on graduation from the University of Bristol in 1980. Since 1995 he has been working on improving the reliability of software-intensive products in both the consumer and medical domains. Initially this focused on improving test methods and processes, particularly in the context of multi-site component-based software development. Latterly, greater emphasis has been on identifying the architecture and design considerations that are essential to achieve acceptable reliability. This work has provided a basis for identifying the technical issues that must be addressed for the selection and successful integration of third-party software in consumer products, which is now accounting for an increasing proportion of product development. His previous research interests with Philips were in the areas of high definition TV displays, video compression, image analysis and on open service APIs for TVs. |
