“…The control needed to achieve this must be distributed over all participating components. Overall, OCNs can be thought of as distributed systems which are different from centralized and decentralized ones (Dhakal, 2009;Andrés and Poler, 2013;Andrés and Poler, 2014). Indeed, in distributed systems all agents are networked on the basis of equality, independence, and cooperation.…”

“…In the literature, Andrés and Poler (2013) identify and analyze strategic, tactical, and operational issues arising in collaborative networks, proposing a classification matrix for the most relevant ones. In a more recent study, they also identify relevant collaborative processes that non-hierarchical manufacturing networks perform (Andrés and Poler, 2014). A novel approach supporting unstructured networked organization is presented in (Loss and Crave, 2011).…”

Given the great opportunities provided by Open Collaborative Networks (OCNs), their success depends on the effective integration of composite business logic at all stages. However, a dilemma between cooperation and competition is often found in environments where the access to business knowledge can provide absolute advantages over the competition. Indeed, although it is apparent that business logic should be automated for an effective integration, chain participants at all segments are often highly protective of their own knowledge. In this paper, we propose a solution to this problem by outlining a novel approach with a supporting architectural view. In our approach, business rules are modeled via semantic web and their execution is coordinated by a workflow model. Each company's rule can be kept as private, and the business rules can be combined together to achieve goals with defined interdependencies and responsibilities in the workflow. The use of a workflow model allows assembling business facts together while protecting data source. We propose a privacy-preserving perturbation technique which is based on 2 digital stigmergy. Stigmergy is a processing schema based on the principle of self-aggregation of marks produced by data. Stigmergy allows protecting data privacy, because only marks are involved in aggregation, in place of actual data values, without explicit data modeling. This paper discusses the proposed approach and examines its characteristics through actual scenarios.

Abstract. Over the last years, enterprises awareness towards establishing collaborative processes has significantly grown due to the benefits obtained when participating in a collaborative network (CN). This paper is a continuation of the work developed by Andres and Poler [1] in which a set of collaborative processes are identified. This paper particularly focuses on the strategies alignment (SA) process, highlighting its influence on the success of a CN. A preliminary framework is outlined to address the collaborative process of SA, consisting of a model, a method and a methodology. Highlighting the importance of the use of cloud-based systems to support small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to deal with the SA process. The implementation of the proposed framework allows identifying what are the strategies that are aligned and how its activation increases the network performance, resulting in more stable and sustainable collaborative relationships, and assuring the proper operation of the CNs.
