Description
Economic background and design rules for cross- organizational electronic interoperation


We examine the economic context of cross-organizational electronic collaboration. This analysis will provide a sound basis for defining design strategies in the B2B software and services market.

oComprehensive exploration and classification of cases for cross-organizational interoperation.

oAnalysis of key organizational and technical components of electronic business media and their interrelationships.

oInvestigation of factors impacting the trade-off between centralized and decentralized architectural distribution models. In this context, we will analyze the factors requiring the physical and organizational division of architectural components (e.g., legislative barriers, semantic gaps or business ecosystems etc.) as well as those favoring more centralized approaches.

    "We expect that by 2011, midsize- and large companies will have at least doubled the number of multienterprise integration and interoperability projects they're managing and will be spending at least 50% more on B2B projects, compared with 2006. We also believe that, from 2008 to 2013, multienterprise traffic will at least triple" (Gartner Research, 2008) The foregoing quote shows the importance of the topic cross-organizational collaboration. When considering implementing such a collaboration, companies are facing many questions, one of them being how information technology can be employed to effectively support interoperation. In this work, we will firt of all classify characteristics of cross-organizational collaboration. Consecutively, we will show how to classify different IT service infrastructures which support cross-organizational interaction. Furthermore existing software and services will be introduced.

    This paper puts the Internet of Things in a wider context: How it relates to the Future Internet overall, and where the business value lies so that it will become interesting for enterprises to invest in it. Real-World Awareness and Business Process Decomposition are the two major paradigms regarding future business value. The major application domains where the Internet of Things will play an important role and where there are concrete business opportunities are highlighted. But there are also many technical challenges that need to be addressed. These are listed and it is shown how they are tackled by existing research projects with industrial participation.
