Abstract/Index
A vital part of a modern economy is an information market. In this market, infor-mation products are being traded in countless ways. Information is bought, modified, integrated, incorporated into other products, and then sold again. Often, the manufac-turing of an information product requires the collaboration of several participants. A virtual enterprise is a community of business entities that collaborate on the manufac-turing of complex products. This collaboration is often ad hoc, for a specific product only, after which the virtual enterprise may dismantle. The virtual enterprise para-digm is particularly appealing for modeling collaborations for manufacturing informa-tion products, and in this paper we present a new model, called VirtuE, for modeling such activities. VirtuE has three principal components. First, it defines a distributed infrastructure with concepts such as members, products, inventories, and production plans. Second, it defines transactions among members, to enable collaborative pro-duction of complex products. Finally, it provides means for the instrumentation of enterprises, to measure their performance and to govern their behavior.
