II. TIMBUS Training Day

A free Training Day on Digital Preservation of Business Processes will take place on Tuesday, October 16 supported by the TIMBUS project. This full-day event is open to any interested party on first-come-first serve basis.

The TIMBUS project addresses the challenge of digital preservation of business processes and services to ensure their long-term continued access. TIMBUS analyses and recommends which aspects of a business process should be preserved and how to preserve them. It delivers methodologies and tools to capture and formalise business processes on both technical and organisational levels. This includes preservation of their underlying software infrastructure, virtualization of their hardware infrastructure and capture of dependencies on local and third-party services and information. This means that, in addition to technical preservation metadata, it draws on metadata standards that capture business processes, such as BPMN, and is identifying forms of supporting business documentation needed to redeploy processes and services.

The draft agenda is as follows:
•    Introduction to Digital Preservation of Business Processes
•    Context information, Metadata & Reasoning   
•    Risk Management in Digital Preservation   
•    Business Continuity Management       
•    Interactive Demo on Business Continuity Management
•    Infrastructure, Architecture and Storage   
•    Legal issues of Digital Preservation       
•    In-depth study on Legal Issues   
           
The TIMBUS Project is co-funded by the European Union under FP7 ICT-2009-6 (Grant Agreement no. 269940).
Please see http://timbusproject.net/events for more event details.

Please, note that a charge of $50.00 will apply for no-shows or cancellations within 48 hours of the event.
