 This is something that we have been discussing that is mainly about, let's say, if I can put things in a simple way, pushing a little bit all these work that people are doing at the research level, say, to feed the industry. So I think we need to think that, don't forget that we are talking about real structures. Real structures is real world. If it's real world, someone is playing the maintenance of these structures. So perhaps what we want is for us to be fully succeeded with all these long work, and I hope that it continues for many years, and changes some paradigms, is pushing this mainly to the industry. So we ended up to elaborate the concept called industry innovation days. So basically, it is an activity that aims to, as we reach to the end of the cost action, put these in a good way to present to the owners and authorities of these structures. So just also a brief introduction about the people that are responsible of this activity. It's myself, young caller, as a leader of working group and the case studies, Maria Limongeli, as a leader of working group five in the dissemination, Celastia and Hunt, as the big boss, and we encourage how it's involved, as also very sensitive to these issues of the industry. As always, I present just a brief overlook of this presentation. I will try to show you what is the objective. Then, based on this objective, what was the concept that was elaborated along some conversations in this core group, I will present something called the dedicated workshop, special sessions in the conference mainly, but what is distinguished in this scope, and also what we are having in terms of deliverables. Of course that workshops, special sessions, and deliverables is something that everyone knows, but I'm trying to show this in industry perspective, so we are trying to innovate and not in that classical approach of the conference research basis. So let's try to be successful. I will try to be successful in representation and pass the message with you. So as the bottom line, okay, let me show you first my case study. This is not publicity, but I think it's important to understand with a case why this, let's say, motivated the concept of industry today. So this is a bridge in Portugal, very nice one, so a long span. There was a lot of work in this bridge, so mainly there is a monitoring system with 400 sensors, with data from 11 years. In addition to this information, that is also a very detailed model, that takes into account all the details in terms of geometry, enforcement, characterization of the materials that were used in situ, a real construction time history. I show you, for example, I like the precision of the model in terms of geometry. It was very detailed, you see that, for example, here is a profile of a bridge, and you see that it's not an horizontal bridge, and it's a slight curvature along this long span, it was included, so all the type of simplifications were avoided if the information is available. This was also included a soil simulation as well, so we put that in the finite element software. This is just an animation to show that also all the construction sequence is the first pilot till the end of the lifetime, that is expected to be 100 years. It was also simulated numerically, so it is a quite comprehensive model. I have a collaboration, they know that they say that in their opinion, this is not a model, this is kind of a virtual bridge embedded in a computer, so also I think in addition to the monitoring data, this is also information, so it is also a value information, so we forget now the data and these results just briefly to show you that it motivates Google further because as you can see the experiments, and we see overlapping some results of the medical model during the construction phase in terms of strains, in this case during the loading test, the second graph for rotation, for curvatures of sections with the strain gauges, and also in terms of the long-term performance, I show here in the left time window of five years, the first five years, and we see that these results are quite motivating to the person that or the team that has been involved in this bridge since, let's say, the installation of the first sensor until this stage, where you see that, in fact, if you look to this information, things are in agreement, they're not going to go further, but the question is now about the end user is the major hierarchy in Portugal, Brisbane, and they always ask me what I do with all this information, how I can use this in a decision basis as we are discussing here, so, our second step, and this is now going into our object in the construction, this is the framework that was developed in Munich, I would like to thank you to Michael Farber, Stroll, Diana Stroll, and all the people because they helped me to fill this table at the time, so basically the idea is that now with all this information from the data, I have an infinite element model, additional information, we could try now put this in a decision-making basis by considering several, let's say, inputs box where you can fill in in terms of about the knowledge of the decision context, about asset information, what are the objectives of all these work that was done based on the monitoring and the finite element. What we are aiming to optimize, which I think is important from the owner perspective because, okay, I can show that the results are very quite in agreement, but for them it's like saying yes and no, what I do. And some other, what is collected under information and it's missing something at the top, which is the indicators and what are the immediate actions that we want to do. So basically, this framework that is here was, let's say, officially launched in the context of this construction as a product where the different case studies that we have in this construction could try to standardize it as an input. So this input that I put here, and I present this menu for this bridge, for this bridge, but there are other structures, not only bridges, that we are now trying to also to have similar, let's say, tables, but we are trying to show as a case studies that could help in the future similar structures by using these examples. So therefore, this case studies aims to, and with this framework, and now in the industry perspective, help the owners to look this in a more practical and what is the aid that they can, or the benefit that they can extract. So from this home, what we were discussing during these last weeks is that, okay, some statements that we all agree, I think, okay, SAJ must be in progressively and why they apply this, so this is not a particular cause. Nevertheless, we keep trying to understand what is the value of SAJM, I think mainly from the owner perspective, what they can, how they can save money, basically the question. And what we are doing here is about how to assess these values, costs, and therefore to improve decision based on a more cost efficient and reliable and safe strategies, okay? This is in the memorandum, more or less. So but in this flow of this case study, is like now with all these framework that we presented before, would we try to give something and pay back to the owners? That is the question, so the idea is basically jump or cost action into industry by means of these activities. So I show here mainly three key messages, I think, is what we aim with these activities is to strengthen the communication along the supply chain, okay? Since the people that are working in the office or installing sensors on the field or the manufacturers of the sensors, until concessioners and government authorities, and also, I think it's also that we are looking, or we are trying to address, is that we should also give evidence that this case studies gives an output with a certain degree of maturity, so that the owners get in fact confident about what we are presenting. And I think also in the context of these industry innovation days, this is something that I like to stress a lot, is that we need to adapt our language that we normally use in the research domain, focusing mainly on the owners and local authorities. So we need to understand their language and try to approach them so we can in fact succeed in passing and jumping all this work and information to them. And ultimately I think the society in general benefits because all of us are society, so I think if you close this supply chain, we are getting a sustainable market where we can see that ACGM is in fact effectively used by the society at the same time, we are continuously getting new knowledge, new knowledge, new data, that's it, new data, new research, more knowledge, and so I think it's something that for me personally makes sense that not forget that at the end of all this work, we need in fact to give answers to the owners of these structures, okay, which is perhaps something that in my experience it's missing anytime. So the question now is how to trigger this genre? Not to do it, trigger, so because I'm not aiming that we are doing, we will do all the work in doing this activity, but as a first step, I think we agree in this group that we should have, that makes sense, that we should have a dedicated workshop, mainly targeting the end users of this supply chain. So basically today we have here an audience that is research-based, perhaps the majority, but in this workshop, let's suppose that we are today in that workshop, in that side should be there and people from the executive body of the owner of a sessioners, local authorities, and try to get them more interested on this theme, okay, so we think that we should organize a dedicated workshop. Also, in parallel, special sessions in street law conference, so majority of the conference, all of them are research-oriented, but there are some that also include a more practical and more tangible language that is more accessible for this final audience. So basically the idea will be in the context of this innovation base, should be try to, for these two type of events, elaborates a piece of paper for each case study that we could try to translate as much as possible all this work about maximum likelihood, the Asian matrix, covariance, whatever, to something that is related to what they understand, costs, okay. So I think this is, it will be the main push that these people in this event will try to alert you when preparing a work for this event. So in terms of a first part, the workshop, we thought that should be an excellent sense to do it in an industrial part, because at the moment, and if I'm not wrong, all workshops were based on a university or a research sector page. So but we have some industrial partners in the construction. I think it makes sense, try to engage with them and them to be, let's say, hosting this workshop. So mainly to get their feedback, okay. I think it's quite important when we are doing something with a certain target, listen to people that are in the target, okay. I think also that it will be very good for the people that are responsible for the case studies. It's like a test, okay. When you have people that decide, that need to make decisions, perhaps it's a good way in this workshop to see what are their feedback to your case study, okay. Like checking if you are going the right way to communicate with them, not only the audience that will be in the workshop, but in general. And also in the timeframe that we have, we thought that perhaps this could be a preparatory validation work in a more controlled environment because it would be something in the workshop. So I think that we could invite people that could be a first step when you are going to present this work in the special sessions suitable for this course. It is the second activity that we are planning. So basically for this workshop, the concept and the language we use it should be practical and objective, okay. Try to not to forget, but minimize those sections that we talk about all those mathematical and statistical issues and try to push more informative information for these end users. So this will be something that is extinguished from the other, this current workshop for example. In terms of conference, as a second step, we were seeing what were the suitable conference. So basically there are two that I think we agree that in the timeframe makes sense. It's gaps, next one is not. The following year there is another one in Portugal. And in fact this conference and this organization, it takes also into account these practical perspectives of the management of civil engineering structures. So my experience when I read some papers of these organizations that they are quite informative, less research based in terms of the explanation of the theories, which I think is very switchable to an audience like Hooners and Authorities. We thought also that we could always get some marginal benefit from other conference because they are all in parallel that are being organized. And mainly these two, the European World Check in Manchester next year and the ATAS in Australia, but as let's say some marginal contribution. So it really not, from the scope of industry innovation days or response will be involved in this, but at the end of this event, perhaps you could also take some benefit of some help that would be present. But mainly the first, so the YARPs in 2018 and in Kimalaj before me. So about this conference, we have already a panel and I think all of you that have a case study received recently an email with an invitation to submit a paper in a special session where the title is, Why Invest in Research and Forcibly Engineering Infrastructure. So this title was carefully thought with some iterations. Chuck Timelli, if a owner or authority by chance is looking to these proceedings, they might like to read the answer to this question. So these basically tried to, these case studies that we are working show evidence of the benefit or not, but are not, we hope not. But clearly saying a kind of if possible as much as possible something like an answer black and white. As I said, the target audience will be owners and authorities. We are currently elaborating a list of potential interest, but mainly from owners and authorities so we will address an invitation to attend this special session. So once again, for those that are interested, please keep in mind that the audience will be mainly and we hope that will be mainly owners and authorities. And for this special session, we are mainly, as I have already said, focus on applications on full scale structure because as a owner is what they want. He's not seeing work in the lab. He's mainly seeing this in the real world. So for this special session, the case studies that are being addressed in this construction are naturally invited to participate, but if there are more people that think that it's an opportunity to them to participate, although they are not a case study formally in the construction, please, take into account this. And also something that has an innovation. We thought that perhaps it could be good to try to engage these people in joint paper because when you present a case study, it's a real structure. It's a real structure that is a owner or a concessionaire that's responsible for that structure. So in my opinion, it makes all sense that not only to be in the audience, owners and concessionaires, but for these papers where we have case studies, you as a promoter of your case study would formally invite them to participate in the preparation of this paper, but not only in the paper, but also, for example, in the oral presentation. For example, I thought that, and I will try to do this with Riza from Portugal, in the first part of the presentation, we could invite the executive board just to show what is the problem that they are addressing, what they expect, what they want, and then the second part that you present your case study, like a question and subject in both, but you present to the audience. I think it's quite interesting, it's more lively and not so monotonic, let's say, in terms of presentation. I'd like to highlight that the deadline for the submission is 15 November, so I don't know, it's only a few days, but it's only the app site for now. So, and you could address these apps as to this email, so you receive it from a formal invitation by email, but if, for chance, there are people that won't and they are not included in the case studies of this construction, please keep these emails and send your proposal, we will be very happy for that. What about deliverables? So, we are expecting that this event might last during until the end of the action, so as you can see, there will be a workshop, two special sessions, this is not something that will be point in time, something that will have some steps. So, as a deliverable, I would like to promote an official video for this event where we could, let's say, do a small time history in the development of this case study, something very short, three, five minutes, because my experience tells me that the people that decide things in companies don't have more than three, five minutes to see a video, so don't be more than that. Also, something that I'm looking, and this is something that I'm saying even for the core group, I didn't mention, that I'm exploring some official channels at the European Commission level, they have some special events in terms of European industry day, also, I've been looking, and perhaps you could also try to engage in these channels of communication because I think they are very efficient to spread these type of activities. There is one now in 2018, in February, there is another one in 2019, I think, some question marks because I've been into discuss this in the core group, but I leave here for consideration. So just to tell you that for those interested to engage in this activity, you will try to maximize as much as possible the visibility of the case studies, and also something as an ultimately goal that, I think, make all sense that this become a reality is that at the end of the cost action, and depending on the outcome of these case studies, how far we can go, how informative they might be with the results, we are already preparing, at the moment, it's myself and Professor Helmut from Vienna, a technical recommendation, based on these outcomes of the case studies, mainly with the objective, and this is my experience, to support owners and concessions of people that are responsible for the management of these real structures, to renegotiate the terms of the contracts of the maintenance. So this is the main thing that is missing, I think, in the supply chain, is that with such work, I think it's so valuable that the European level, with such excellence that we are doing, definitely makes all sense to gather all this information in a very concise objective document as a technical recommendation with the stamp of the European Commission, and we could put in the website saying that as experts from all the Europe, we are here, we as together, together we are stronger, saying that in fact, and based on evidence of these case studies, it should be allowed, or we advise to allow, that if a structure has some kind of additional data, mainly monitoring, local authority should be more sensitive and try to allow some flexibility in the planning of the maintenance of the structures, because this is exactly what the owners want. If not, we are delaying, I think, for, since I do research in this area, we are always postponing delaying a little bit, and effective will change all of the paradigm in terms of asset management. We need definitely, with such technical recommendation with European Commission stamp, and publicizing our construction website, that in fact, we give evidence, as a whole, all these people, with all the potential of everyone, that in fact, they were, as far as possible, show evidence that this is one of the correct ways to go further in terms of asset management, and therefore a more proactive approach, rather than a passive and reactive, in which I think makes all sense. So, and that's all. Thank you very much. Hope you enjoyed. Thank you.
