“…In order to promptly respond to a business or collaboration opportunity, the virtual organization creation process has to be well defined [22]. However, given different market situations, this process has to be set to provide solutions for two distinct cases: (i) when there is already an acquired business opportunity and the objective is to guarantee a consortium to fulfill the opportunity requirements; or (ii) when it is necessary to go through a quotation process before having acquired the business opportunity.…”

Part 2: Collaborative SystemsInternational audienceIn the current economic turbulence, it is crucial for companies and organizations to attain strategic alliances to respond to new business or collaboration opportunities. Besides the importance of understanding the structures and requirements of such alliances, it is also of extreme importance that the process of negotiation to create those alliances is properly modeled so that the elements that constitute the alliance agreements are accurately represented and the involved risks are mitigated. With this aim, this paper outlines the main requirements of an electronic negotiation support environment in a collaborative network, including a brief analysis of how it can help in reducing the risk potential, considering the relevance of the expectations of the involved partners, and highlighting the importance of a technological support environment

“…Virtualisation and working as cooperating teams bring many obvious advantages, however the interdependent nature of collaborative activities introduces complexities into the business processes. Indeed processes can be too complicated and time consuming, creating many obstacles to collaboration, and therefore the virtual organisation creation process is a critical to the successes of the network (Camarinha-Matos et al, 2009). …”

Research into Moderators, which support collaborative teams by proactively making team members aware of actions or potential problems which may affect them, began in the 1990s, in the context of supporting collaborations during concurrent engineering projects. This paper provides a background to the evolution of Moderators and explores their role in supporting virtual organisations. A Collaboration Moderator (CM) is an evolution of earlier moderators and is capable of behaving differently for different types of users and therefore caters for the varying requirements of individual users depending on the roles they have in the collaborations. This paper describes the architecture and components of a CM from an implementation perspective. Prototype CMs have been developed during the EU funded SYNERGY project, and two use cases for which the prototype CMs were implemented as services (a Pre-Creation use case and an Operational use case) are also discussed in this paper.

“…survival and success dependant on their ability to adapt dynamically to changing operating conditions [4,6,8]. VOs provide a solution when it is impossible for any single organization (particularly small or medium size enterprises; SMEs) to keep up with the speed of change in the environment and the diversity of demands prevailing in the market.…”

Adaptation and Value Creating Collaborative Networks

Abstract. Organisations have to adapt rapidly to survive in today's diverse and rapidly changing environments. The idea of virtual organisations emerged as an answer. There is a strong need to understand virtual organisations (VOs) in a formal way: changes can have side effects and hence one might wish to understand precisely what consequences a change might have. The Virtual Organisation Modelling Language (VOML) consists of sub-languages to model different aspects of VOs such as their structure or operational models: VO-S deals with structural aspects while VO-R addresses reconfigurations. The concepts are exemplified through a travel booking VO that needs to cope with extra demands imposed by a large event such as the Olympic games.
