Towards an Execution System for Distributed Business Processes in a Virtual Enterprise

The implantation of the virtual enterprise paradigm requires the design and development of a flexible execution environment to support the distributed business processes that materialize the cooperation in a network of enterprises. A configurable architecture for such execution system is proposed focusing the support for multi-level process coordination. A set of examples to illustrate the adopted concepts and developed tools are discussed.
