Innovation driven by open communities has proven to have a significant potential, in particular for open source software. However, tools and methodologies enabling the supervision of collaborative innovation involving open communities, in the perspective of creating open hardware to solve societal issues, remains at the early stages. This paper seeks to pinpoint the potentialities and challenges of such projects toward defining methods to better support a multi-stakeholders open source collaboration context. The experimental field of this research concerns the smart electricity distribution, and more precisely a public driven project of the diffusion of smart-meters in France and their appropriation by open source communities, with the involvement of the university and a public industrial company. The project seeks to study how these communities of users develop in a collaborative manner, new products and services using the smart-meter as a support technology. The first results show that the open community makes natural connection on specific environments such as Smart buildings to materialize usages of smart meters.

However, literature review on technical domain where algorithms and programs are the core of the contribution show it remains not shared. This article aims to present an instructional module that aims to both sensitize students to research and allow them to participate to research community and open science through replication. This module was implemented two years in a row with computer engineering students. The implementation of the module has been done according to the research action approach, meaning the authors was also involved in the course as a teacher. The course was oriented towards exploring the different peer-to-peer energy trading algorithms. This article describes the pedagogical methods used in class and discuss challenges for adoption of this method more broadly.

The creativity is the first step of the innovation process. Indeed, the innovation process is based on a first idea. During creativity workshops, engineers work together in a collaborative way to generate new ideas. They follow the creativity process based on different phases: discover the topic, apply the creativity methods, generate ideas, formalize ideas, share and evaluate their ideas, then select the innovative ones. Up till now, the creativity workshops used simple tools like paperboards, post-its or idea sheets to capture ideas. These tools are not efficient in regrouping the ideas and categorizing them into clusters defined by some themes. In this paper we describe a Natural Language Processing based system that helps participants in creativity workshops to cluster and classify their ideas.

We observe that industry and educative centers organize creativity workshops in order to solve problems. Creativity workshops have primordial elements such as creative solvers, creative supporters, and some activities to generate ideas. Their objectives are to apply creativity methods to generate ideas. The ideas generation process is a collaborative process among different activities (ideas creation, clustering, evaluation, etc.) and among participants which have different roles, point of view and experiences. We consider each activity as an organization where participants work together to achieve a common goal which is the idea generation. We propose in this paper to use an organizational approach to model the idea management process from the interaction among the roles during all the creativity activities.
Conceptual Framework of an Intelligent System to Support Creative Workshops

This mandate to innovate requires companies to set up various tools to evaluate the capacity to innovate and implement innovative dynamics. Before purporting to generate innovation, we need ideas. Thus, creativity is in some way the upstream component of innovation. Creativity implies the production of ideas. This production of ideas can be supported by many techniques that can be classified into two categories: systematic and structured methods (TRIZ) and explorative approaches (brainstorming, mind mapping, personas, affinity diagram, etc.). The fact is that these creative techniques can be necessary but are not enough to produce unobvious ideas. The many factors that influence the creation of a creative dynamic lead to a complex situation which is difficult to manage optimally. From among the various ways to establish a creative dynamic in organisations, this work consi...

Simultaneously, the electricity market regulations have been prepared to allow new business models in the electricity sector. However, P2P energy trading is not yet generalised, although the research literature is increasing and the integration of renewable energy production is inevitable. The authors assume this lack of adoption is partly due to few works on decisionmaking to select and implement an energy sharing scenario. This work aims to identify some major challenges with P2P energy trading to make decision-making based on simulations. The implementation presented in this article concerns the centralised communication aspects.

One technical solution that is widely considered is the smart grid, meaning a decentralized and multi-scale smart energy system. For more than a decade, various pilot projects have been implemented successfully all over the European Union. If such pilots are to be scaled up into effective roll-outs, the electrical engineering workforce needs to be prepared, as do the public authorities, engineering researchers and broader public. They need quick awarenessraising and training in the benefits, drawbacks, opportunities and skills associated with smart grids. Due to the complex nature of the situation and the related challenges for society, designing this training requires an innovative and participative approach. This article proposes a case study on applying a living lab approach to the design of innovative online courses on smart grids.

La gestion des connaissances est une opportunité d'amélioration des performances pour les organisations. Les connaissances sont dynamiques puisqu'elles évoluent continuellement et peuvent être diffusées sous forme d'informations de manière extrêmement variée et rapide à travers le réseau interne de l'organisation et de plus en plus à l'extérieur de l'organisation via l'immensité du Web. Pour que la gestion des connaissances soit effectivement un vecteur d'amélioration des performances d'une organisation, il faut au préalable une compréhension des mécanismes de création, de partage, de mise à jour et d'évolution des connaissances au sein de cette organisation. Ces processus sont très complexes lorsque l'on considère qu'ils sont différents au niveau d'un individu, d'un groupe et au niveau plus large du Web. Cet article propose une méthode de conception de système intelligent pour gérer les connaissances d'une organisation. L'approche est basée sur une démarche de modélisation des organisations afin d'identifier les connaissances issues des interactions entre les différents rôles ainsi que sur la spécification de systèmes multi-agents dédiés à la gestion des connaissances à partir de modèles organisationnels. ABSTRACT. Knowledge management is an opportunity to improve performance for organizations. Knowledge is dynamic since it evolves continuously and can be disseminated in the form of information in an extremely varied and rapid ways through the internal network of the organization and more and more outside the organization through the Web. In order to use knowledge management approaches to increase the organizational performance, we need to understand the mechanisms for creating, sharing, updating, and evolving knowledge. These processes are very complex when you consider that they are different at the individual, group or communities on the Web. This article proposes an intelligent system design method for managing knowledge of an organization. The approach is based on an organization modeling approach in order to identify the knowledge resulting from the interactions between the different roles. The second part of the article describe the specification of multi-agent systems dedicated to knowledge management based on organizational models.

The selection of ideas resulting from these creative processes is a key activity for a firm, as it serves as a foundation for time management and decisions on further investments. Moreover, the selection of promising ideas has a more significant impact than the creative process itself as it colours the overall innovation process. We argue that this type of decision is strongly context dependent. That is, the selection process is conditioned by several factors such as the firm's technological and organisational capabilities and its strategy. This implies that a relevant idea for a particular company is not necessarily relevant for another. This paper proposes a context formalisation approach, supported by multi-criteria decision-making analysis tools to evaluate ideas resulting from a creative workshop. This evaluation process seeks to assist the decision-making by requiring success criteria to take into account the firm's context and priorities and give decision-makers the keys to establish a coherent evaluation. Implementation of this approach during a creative workshop validates the appeal of this type of contextualised evaluation. It contributes to the field of practical application of ideas in productive environments. The proposed methodology is illustrated through a case study on the new eco-tourism services for the city of Leticia in the Amazonian region of Colombia with a view to sustainable development.

Due to the increasing popularity in company and organization, it is subject to computer assistance to increase productivity, and information capitalization. The actual digital systems are limited in supporting the complex process of creative workshops. The actual papers propose to apply the multi-agent system approach and more specifically an organizational approach to design a creative support system that will cover the entire complexity of the creative workshop.

Indeed, the innovation process is based on a first idea. During creativity workshops, engineers work together in a collaborative way to generate new ideas. They follow the creativity process based on different phases: discover the topic, apply the creativity methods, generate ideas, formalize ideas, share and evaluate their ideas, then select the innovative ones. Up till now, the creativity workshops used simple tools like paperboards, post-its or idea sheets to capture ideas. These tools are not efficient in regrouping the ideas and categorizing them into clusters defined by some themes. In this paper we describe a Natural Language Processing based system that helps participants in creativity workshops to cluster and classify their ideas.
