A SERVICE-ORIENTED PLATFORM FOR COLLABORATIVE NETWORKED ORGANIZATIONS

The paper presents a distributed, service-oriented and open ICT infrastructure (ICT-I) being developed in a European research project which aims at helping members of Collaborative Networks in doing businesses together. ICT-I services are used on-demand, based on the ASP and pay-per-use models. The proposed ICT-I are so far being implemented to support members of virtual breeding environments, virtual organizations and professional virtual communities. Some information about its requirements, architecture, services, implementation and future work are also presented.
