Elements of a base VE infrastructure

Emergent Process Interoperability within Virtual Organisations

“…One exception to this is the idea of a virtual organisation breeding environment. This idea was originally introduced by Hamideh Afsarmanesh and Luis M. Camarinha-Matos in [1] and later developed into the core application context behind the Ecolead European project.…”

“…However, a complete solution is (typically) not a unique combination of partial solutions. 1 As would be required in for instance web service composition For convenience, we denote the above categories of information G , U and S , respectively; and we denote the corresponding notice board NB = G , U , S .…”

“…We appeal to the concept of a virtual breeding environment, henceforth VBE, - [1] as a suitable theoretical model for such stable yet open business ecosystems. We examine conventional approaches to virtual organisation formation within a VBE and note several difficulties, most notably an (over-) dependence on a centralised top-down decomposition, see Section 2.…”

Enhancing Interoperability: Ontology-Mapping in an Electronic Institution

“…In "breeding environments" [4] potential partners are already acquaintances and typically have previous common business experiences. This facilitates the construction of business agreements, as parties can rely on relational contracts [5], which specify continuous relationships that are naturally self-enforceable.…”

Identification of Prospective Collaboration Networks in International R&D Programmes

“…К ним могут быть отнесены методо-логические исследования оптимизации структуры вир-туальных коллаборативных сетей [Camarinha-Matos, Afsarmanesh, 2003, 2005Lau, Wong, 2001]. К тому же, эти методологии не адаптированы к оценке исследователь-ских программ, что ограничивает возможности сбора данных, а следовательно, применения инструментов количественной оптимизации.…”
