A Brazilian Case of VE Coordination

Developing a Multi-agent Software to Support the Creation of Dynamic Virtual Organizations aimed at Preventing Child Abuse Cases

“…When a collaboration opportunity is identified, a subset of the VBE members can be rapidly selected to form a virtual organization. VBEs emerge as an evolution of clusters and industrial districts (Bremer et al, 1999;Mejía y Molina, 2002). A VBE is created as a long term association and its members are recruited from the " open universe" of organizations according to the criteria defined by the VBE administrators.…”

Towards a Semi-Typology for Virtual Organization Breeding Environments

“…Considering the close relevance of a large number of criteria to each perspective, they can potentially serve as candidates for VBE typology identification: I. Domain categories (1,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,11,12,13,14,15,16,19, 20, 21) II. Main Collaboration Drivers (1,2,3,4,5,7,9,10,11,13,14,15,16,17, 20, 21) III.…”

Supporting Agility in Virtual Enterprises

“…PRODNET II developed some tools to support some parts of the creation process. Other projects such as the Brazilian VIRTEC [Bremer et al, 1999), the ALFA COSME-VE [Molina et al, 1998], and COWORK [Alzaga and Martin, 1999) have addressed the specific aspects of creation and management of clusters of enterprises that are willing to cooperate as well as the planning of the VE structure for a given business opportunity. Further work is necessary in order to develop planning tools integrating the VE planning, the high-level business processes modeling, the resources planning and the capacity planning.…”
