Implementation Challenges for Supporting Coworking Virtual Enterprises

摘要

The creation of co working alliances is usually restricted to the coworkers in the same workspace. However, they might not necessarily be best partners to take advantage of a collaboration opportunity. To break the spatial constrains and find the best partners irrespective of their co working spaces location, our proposal is to represent and manage the co working alliances as virtual enterprises (VEs) and to develop a multi-agent system (MAS) that serves as Virtual Breeding Environment (VBE). In this paper we provide the basis for the future development of this system. Thus, we introduce the co working VEs distinguishing features and the initial proposals on how to implement the MAS to address the co working VEs life-cycle.
