International Journal of Web Based Communities (IJWBC), Vol. 2, No. 2, 2006

Abstract: This paper explores the challenges of constructing a distributed e-business architecture based on the concept of the Dynamic (Request-Based) Virtual Organisation (RBVO), a B2B value network which is dynamically formed upon demand to meet identified business opportunities. In this paper, we investigate the steps involved in achieving inter-domain end-to-end business collaboration using the structural concepts of the RBVO by presenting a reference architecture and a framework (realisation of that architecture in a particular class of environments). The practical work was done within the framework of EU-sponsored research projects (LAURA, TrustCoM). The LAURA project, which aims to facilitate creation of interregional e-business zones for SMEs uses, where applicable, the potential of the ebXML architecture to support the innovative RBVO concept. The TrustCoM project concentrates on application of Web Services technologies for secure, trusted and manageable business interactions and VO management based on the choreographed collaboration concept.
