Abstract
Manufacturing systems are changing its structure and organization, focusing and limiting its core competencies. Proposed organizational and technological paradigms suggest dynamic organization forms like extended enterprise or virtual enterprises where entities outsource complementary products and actively pursuit cooperation with partners. However, a long way must be tracked in different domains and especially in organizational infrastructures and knowledge management. This paper characterizes and describes concepts and requirements related to the most common Distributed Manufacturing Systems approaches, emphasizing its needs about organizational and technological shifts. These ones are further interrelated with three organizational-technological approaches, which leads to the identification and description of needed functional services and particularly the service respecting to inter-domain knowledge operability.
