PRO-VE - Conference on Virtual Enterprises
PRO-VE - Conference on Virtual Enterprises
"Collaborative Networks and Value Creation"
Collaborative Networks (CN) correspond to a very active and steadily growing area. For instance, Virtual enterprises / virtual organizations (VE/VO) are already supported by a large research and business practice community. Also, Professional Virtual Communities (PVC) suggest new ways of work and put the emphasis on collaborative networks of human actors. Further to these main lines, other collaborative forms and patterns of collaborative behavior are emerging, not only in industry, but also in service sector, as well as governmental and non-government social organizations, e.g. the collaborative networks for rescue tasks in disaster situations, time bank organization, etc. The concept of breeding environment is now understood as a fundamental entity to enable dynamic collaborative organizations.
Recent developments emphasize the need for better understanding and characterization of the basic principles and mechanisms for collaborative networks planning and operation. It is urgent to build a sounder foundation, namely in terms of proper theoretical principles and formal models capturing the concepts, entities, behavior, and operations of the CNs, and technology-independent infrastructure architectures. More holistic approaches are urgently needed.
Understanding and being able to measure the benefits of collaboration is a current challenge. New value systems and adequate performance assessment methods are needed in order to support value creation through collaborative networks.
In this context PRO-VE has already established its recognized position as the most focused scientific / technical conference in the area, offering a major opportunity for the presentation and discussion of both the latest research developments and industrial practice case studies. Following the IFIP vision, PRO-VE offers a forum for collaboration among different regions of the world.
This conference continues a series of successful conferences of PRO-VE'99 (held in Porto, Portugal), PRO-VE 2000 (held in Florian�polis, Brazil), PRO-VE'02 (held in Sesimbra, Portugal), PRO-VE'03 (held in Lugano, Switzerland), and PRO-VE'04 (held in Toulouse, France).
