ODP-modelling of virtual enterprises with supporting engineering architecture

The paper presents an ODP-based approach to modelling virtual enterprises using a business case from the maritime industry. By modelling this business case, focusing on enterprise modelling, engineering requirements for communication infrastructure in virtual enterprises are identified. These requirements are met with the Data Exchange and Management (DEM) architecture, which has been implemented during this work and is presented.
