Resolving Interoperability in Concurrent Engineering

摘要: To face an increasingly competitive environment within a globalization context, and to focus on core high-added value business activities, enterprises have establish partnerships with other companies specialized in complementary domains. Such approach, primarily based optimization of the chain, is called virtualization Enterprise. Enterprises relying virtualization, sub-contracting outsourcing coordinate activities all partners, integrate results their manage federated information coming from different implied systems re-package them as product for clients. The adopted organization, which considering well internal external resources, “Extended Enterprise”. Nevertheless, such complex emerging networked organizations, it more challenging be able interchange, share resources digital information, services computer-enacted processes. In addition, artifacts produced by enterprise are heterogeneous complex. After characterizing expected interoperability collaborative platform highlighting issues brakes not yet addressed, this chapter describes innovative approach build Federated Framework legacy eBusiness standards given ecosystem. It implies facing important related semantic preservation along lifecycle infrastructures required define exploit application. We present two use case studies that apply strategies.
