Abstract
This paper presents an approach to configure dynamic virtual enterprises supported by smart tools that are implemented to facilitate and to speed up this process in a low cost and effective way. The configuration comprises the setup of the information to exchange among the VE partners during the VE life cycle, the integration of their legacy systems with the VE platform, the configuration of the VE topology, and the definition of information access rights for the VE partners. Details about the implementation of the supporting tools as well as some conclusions based on the results achieved are also given.
