Collaborative Network for the Development of an Informational System in the SOA Context for the University Management

Abstract

Each university is mainly interested in improving higher education and this holds true both at national and international level. At first sight the activities within a university may seem simple, but in reality they are very complex and dynamic, including a wide range of domains and problems. We have to deal with virtual university campuses, virtual professional communities, virtual collaborative laboratories, virtual libraries, dynamic supply networks, e-learning platforms for students, research, planning and controlling, human resources, etc. With a view to improving U-governance we concentrated on creating a collaborative networking based on academic partnership aimed at conceiving an integrated informational system to be implemented and generalized. The informational system is going to be developed in the SOA context.
