Collaboration is a "watch word" and a recognized outcome of the
increasing integration in business and industry. The Industrial
Revolution brought us "standardization" and as it continues to
evolve, "standardization" has widened into the concept of
"rationalization." In recent times, "flexibility" has been added to
the evolving nature of industry, which includes such developments
as flexible manufacturing, CIM, concurrent engineering, supply
chain management, etc. But the next step in this evolutionary
process is developing out of the newly IT-enabled practices such of
E-business, E-engineering, and on-demand business and it is these
IT-enabled practices that brings the concept of "collaboration" to
the next level of industrial evolution. "Collaboration" here means
cooperation among independent enterprises towards some common tasks
and even cooperation among distributed systems and processes within
the same enterprises. There are some complex organizational and
technical forces behind the emerging momentum of Enterprise
Collaboration: (1) From the organizational perspective, no single
authority can command and control all the participants as the scope
of integration grows exponentially across the world economy. (2)
From the technical perspective, the scale and complexity of tasks
are exceeding the limits of the traditional command-and-control
approaches to integration. These are the factors leading to the
emergence of a model of collaboration to achieve the goals of
integration for enterprises and extended enterprises.
The book will go beyond the discussion of global databases and
present a general Enterprise Resources Market model to facilitate
the management and integration ofenterprise information resources
in a cooperating mode. The bulk of the book will discuss this
particular concept in depth and implement a general model to focus
on a new publish-and-subscribe model for information resource
owners to cooperate at a scale much larger than the traditional
global query.
