  SELIS is aimed at delivering a ‘platform for pan-European logistics applications’ by:
  - Embracing a wide spectrum of logistics perspectives and creating a unifying operational and strategic business innovation agenda for pan European Green Logistics.
  - Establishing an exceptionally strong consortium of logistics stakeholders and ICT providers, that can leverage EU IP from over 40 projects so as to create proof of concept Common Communication and navigation platforms for pan-European logistics applications in month 18 deployed in 8 living labs (LLs) representing the principal logistics communities.
  - Establishing a research and innovation environment using the LLs to provide data than can be used for discovery of new insights that will enable continuous value creation supporting the large scale adoption of SELIS.
  
  The proposed Shared European Logistics Intelligent Information Space, SELIS, is a network of logistic communities’ specific shared intelligent information spaces termed SELIS Community Nodes (SCN). SCNs are constructed by individual logistics communities to facilitate the next generation of collaborative, responsive and agile green transportation chains. SCNs link with their participants’ existing systems through a secure infrastructure and provide shared information and tools for data acquisition and use, according to a 'cooperation agreement'. Connected nodes, provide a distributed common communication and navigation platform for Pan European logistics applications. Each Node decides what information wishes to publish and what information wants to subscribe to.
  
  The SELIS Community Node (SCN) concept represents the evolution of a longline of research in this area. The fundamental principle is that it provides a ‘lightweight ICT structure’ to enable information sharing for collaborative sustainable logistics for all at strategic and operational levels.

  • LOGISTICS NODES

    Although the SELIS Community Nodes, created by SELIS, in the project are intended as logistics communities not necessarily centered on a physical node, the concept has been applied and tested to a hub in north Germany and demonstrated the suitability to develop features such as connection to several resources, data sharing, supply chain visibility. These features are relevant for PI Roadmap.

    The conceptual architecture developed by SELIS addresses requirements for logistics nodes and could be an interesting asset for Generation 1
    

  • LOGISTICS NETWORKS

    Visibility, resource publishing/subscription, consolidation are main themes addressed by SELIS concerning network services both short-distance (including urban distribution) and long-distance.

    An interesting Pipeline Data Exchange Structure providing common structure and scalability and facilitating many actors to play in the supply chain was built and tested in the project contributing to Generation 1.

  • SYSTEM OF LOGISTICS NETWORKS

    The modular approach of the SELIS Community Nodes makes the project contribution to system level functionality limited, being the focus on interoperability among diverse communities rather than identifying common conceptual structures.

    The “SELIS identity and access management services” were developed as part of the communication layer and also foresee the use of Blockchain technology for facilitating the trusted federation of multiple nodes. These achievements are interesting to be explored for Generation 1.
