Supporting cooperation in project-enterprises

Abstract

Due to the popularization of Internet, cooperative applications of project-enterprise type are expected to become commonplace on the WEB. By project-enterprise, we understand short-lived enterprises which are built by aggregating several partners around a project and for the duration of this project. They require new technologies to organize their short duration networks. For this purpose, this paper describes a flexible approach to build cooperation support software by assembling basic and generic cooperation patterns.
