“…Virtual enterprises are joint ventures of independent enterprises joining a shared collaboration process. In many projects like PRODNET (Afsamanesh, Garita, Hertzberger, & Santos Silva, 1997), MASSYVE (Rabelo, Camarinha-Matos, & Vallejos, 2000), FETISH-ETF (Camarinha-Matos & Afsarmanesh, 2001), and WISE (Lazcano, Alonso, Schuldt, & Schuler, 2000;Alonso, 1999) the support environment consists of a breeding environment and operational environment. The breeding environment provides facilities for negotiating and modeling the collaboration processes; the operational environment controls the enactment of the processes.…”

{Lea.KutvonenIToni.RuokolainenIJanne.Metso)@cs.helsinki.fi Participation in electronic business networks has become necessary for the success of enterprises. The strategic business needs for participating multiple networks simultaneously and for managing changes in these networks are reflected as new requirements for the supporting computing facilities. The web-Pilarcos architecture addresses the needs of managed collaboration and interoperability of autonomous business services in an inter-organisational context. The web-Pilarcos B2B middleware is designed for lowering the cost of colIaboration establishment and to facilitate management and maintenance of electronic business networks. The approach is a federated one: All business services are developed independently, and the B2B middleware services are used to ensure that technical, semantic, and pragmatic interoperability is maintained in the business network. In the architecture and middleware functionality design, attention has been given to the dynamic aspects and evolution of the network. This paper discusses the concepts provided for application and business network creators, and the supporting middleware-level knowledge repositories for interoperability support.
