DYNAMIC CONFIGURATION OF COLLABORATION IN NETWORKED ORGANISATIONS

摘要

Levels of collaboration between networked organisations are at an all time high. There is a need for some control in the connections made between organisations and the information they pass to one another. Controlling the collaboration between two or more organisations involves providing an information structure to which messages between all communicating organisations must adhere to when passing information and specifying a protocol or protocols that must be used by the organisations to pass these messages. Any system employed to undertake the communication management between organisations must be dynamically configurable; therefore no organisation is "offline " while being configured.
