“…Nowadays, ontologies are widely considered as a suitable solution for organizations to access, understand and manipulate existing data sources. Many organizations are heading towards the exploitation of the ontologies' expressiveness, the semantic interoperability and the ontologies inference' capacities to ensure their systems integration among their partners and to enhance their decision making processes [18].…”

Currently, the economic competition has become very tough where successful companies find themselves obliged to develop their organizations and diversify their work strategies. Thereby, virtual enterprises concept imposes itself and overcomes geographical constraints by allowing companies to cooperate and address their shortcomings through exchanging their services and skills. The present paper proposes a virtual enterprise model based on the use of agents endorsed by the use of ontologies and web services. The coupling of these concepts allows reducing the high costs associated with the use of technology and improves flexibility and intelligence both in the negotiation process through the selection of the best partners, and in the managing process by ensuring the effective cooperation between partners.

Systems integration is a key issue to be faced when supporting Virtual Enterprises (VE) execution. However, it is very complex regarding the dynamic composition, autonomy and large distribution of its members as well as the high heterogeneity of IT and business processes' models used by them. It has been realized by many works in the literature that SMEs should have some preparedness, including at the IT level, in order to create a feasible solution for them to get onboard and agilely interoperate in real VEs. This work intends to overcome some drawbacks of current approaches for that, proposing a model where VE partners can more easily get into a VE when it is created (plug) so that the VE can be executed seamlessly during its operation (play) and dissolution (unplug), including the support of some level of semantic interoperability. A prototype has been implemented, and results are discussed.

“…3 represents the flowchart of the proposed approach. First, the designers receive constraints from An Ontology-Based Framework for Virtual Enterprise Integration and Interoperability 179 the existing elements of the supply chain and from the customer specifications [13,18]. The constraints of the non-existing elements must be anticipated also (the addition of a new supplier for example).…”
