  Abstract/
Summary
The extended enterprise concept proposes a new way to approach the product development organization. The methodologies and tools for knowledge sharing and for collaborating in real time along the supply-chain have to be evermore improved and they have to be customized in the specific applicative fields. The CO-ENV research project, that is funded by the Economic Development Italian Minister (2007-2009), moves in this context. The aim is the study of methodologies and the development of dedicated software tools usable in heterogeneous groups of companies to realize the dynamic collaboration. The research will be dedicated to modular and configurable products according to the required paradigm of mass customization. The paper will be focused on a deeper description of the project, of its main objectives and of the preliminary studies related to the process model for the dynamic collaboration.
