An agent-based life cycle management for dynamic virtual enterprises

Abstract

Virtual Enterprises (VEs) enable the deployment of distributed business processes among different partners to support shorten development and manufacturing cycles, reduced time to market, increased customer satisfaction, and global operation and reach. Dynamic Virtual Enterprises are an emerging category of Ves, where the different partners are being selected dynamically during business process execution based on market-driven criteria and negotiation. In this paper, we discuss concepts and technologies that are considered to satisfy key requirements of dynamic virtual enterprises, and propose DIVE, a framework for the specification, execution and management of shared business processes in dynamic virtual enterprises

Secure resource sharing on cross-organization collaboration using a novel trust method

“…Hence, VEs have to respond quickly to customer expectations by integrating processes, activities and resources from different enterprises through enterprise alliances [1]. In practice, a VE is implemented with a distributed and collaborative business process, in which individuals from different enterprises cooperate on business-related activities or processes by remote coordination, communication and control [2][3][4].…”

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

“…The planning approach is the most used solution in the research literature (Rocha & Oliveira, 1999;Petersen, 2003;etc. ), including its hierarchical variant (Ouzounis, 2001), since it is easier to implement and allows greater control over the resulting DVO. The button-up approach (Rabelo et al, 2000), in turn, leads to forms of Dynamic VOs more efficient and agile, but its control is often far more complex.…”

“…In a Dynamic Virtual Organization a set of business partners come together dynamically, on demand, and in accordance with the requirements and needs (Ouzounis, 2001) of the problem, disappearing when those needs have been met. DVOs are rapid creation and fast dissolution organizations (Browne & Zhang, 1999), constructed ad hoc the opportunity of collaboration.…”

Creation of Dynamic Virtual Organizations for Child Abuse Prevention in the VO Breeding Environment Context

“…In a DVO a set of business partners come together dynamically, on demand, and in accordance with the requirements and needs [6] of the problem, disappearing when those needs have been met. DVOs are rapid creation and fast dissolution organizations [7], constructed ad hoc the opportunity of collaboration.…”
