Introduction to CETI*

Enable Enterprise Transformation with Innovations and Dissemination of Advanced Knowledge for Service Intensive Processes

Our mission is accomplished by uniquely integrating research, practice, and education thus providing varied opportunities for students, professionals, and the industry. More specifically,

Industry-guided research focus:

Industry requirements drives research in Adaptive Complex Enterprise (or ACE) architectures and services.

We combine the latest in research and industry best practices to develop methods, patterns and reference implementations underlying ACE. Our research areas span Service-Oriented Architectures, Business-IT Alignment, IT Services, Knowledge Management, and Technologies (e.g. wireless, semantic web, model-driven architectures).
Our goal is to lead the innovation of new technologies, provide analytic foundations that drive decision-making, implementation, and evolution of complex systems.

Practice benefits to industry:

Early access to thought leadership.
Exceptionally trained students.
Manyfold project cost advantage.
Workshops in practical approachs to the management of complex IT systems addressing both technology and organizational challenges.

Real-world education experiences and industry-university collaborations:

High-value knowledge through mentorship programs and practice projects.
Access to knowledge assets - reports, patterns, assessments and benchmarks, publications, and reference implementations.
Industry-relevant education and internship experiences for undergraduate and graduate students equipping them with sought-after skills as they enter the future workforce and global economy.
Workshops, special interest groups and other unique opportunities for professionals to remain highly competitive.

We also coordinate multi-disciplinary research and practice projects with industry, departments and centers within The Ohio State University.
