Information technology for virtual enterprises
23 March 1999 - 23 March 1999
Australia
RIDE-VE'99, the ninth international workshop on research issues in data engineering, will be held in Sydney, Australia, on 23 and 24 March 1999, sponsored by the Computer Society of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers. The workshop will address the theme "Information technology for virtual enterprises", and will discuss a broad range of issues related to this key challenge and opportunity for the business world.
A virtual enterprise is created to provide products and/or services that rely on the resources of multiple enterprises participating in a strategic alliance. Virtual enterprises can take advantage of new market opportunities without the delays, costs, and organisational expansion typically required by an actual enterprise. However, current information technology solutions developed to support actual enterprises cannot effectively support the information access, payment and billing, customer care, organisation structures, and business processes required by virtual enterprises.
The objective of RIDE-VE'99 is to bring together researchers, developers, and users working on the issues related to information technology for virtual enterprises. The organisers of the workshop are currently seeking the submission of papers for presentation during the conference that deal with models and software technology enabling the support of virtual enterprises. Topics of interest include:
- Virtual enterprise models;
- Virtual information management structure;
- Virtual communication and negotiation infrastructure;
- Virtual business transaction infrastructure;
- Virtual product and service distribution software;
- Virtual product and service distribution infrastructure;
- Related Web-based technologies.
