Abstract
This paper is targeted upon the new methods and infrastructures for the dynamic management of Virtual Enterprises (VE), as built up in the BIDSAVER Project (IST Project #10768) part of the VIVE (Virtual Vertical Enterprise) initiative, headed by CE Consulting.
The VIVE initiative formulates a methodological and ICT framework, enabling Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to join their forces to race on the global market as if they were a single, larger Company. Such a framework is based on the concept of the Business Integrator (BI), an external entity providing Companies with both management and methodological support, and in charge of coordinating the Virtual Enterprise activities throughout its lifetime.
The ICT infrastructure is made up of modules developed by customizing existing software suites, which exploit XML-based interfaces.
