Integration of virtual and networked organization using server oriented architecture

Abstract

Virtual enterprise integration (VEI) is virtually the most critical success factor for making virtual enterprise (VE) a real, competitive, and widely implemented organizational and management concept. One of the possible approaches in virtual enterprise integration is employment of web services. In this paper we will present an approach for developing an SOA for VEI. The general assumption of the suggested approach is that service oriented architecture is based on business services and they mostly correspond to exchanged documentation in a real business system. CASE tool for web service specification is also presented. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
