The main scope of this paper is to present a set of enabling services that support the establishment and management of Virtual Enterprises and the integration and interoperation of business processes. Based on a virtual enterprise life-cycle model that we propose, different business domains can integrate their business processes in order to provide transparently services to the end-users and customers of the Virtual Enterprise (VE). The appropriate enabling services are identified, analyzed and certain details regarding their design is given. These enabling services are the VE contract manager, the BP administrator, and the BP controller. Underlying services needed for the integration and execution of shared business processes are also proposed. Our proposed enabling services reduce the cost of development, maintenance and integration of shared business processes in VEs by applying interoperable, distributed object oriented technologies.

The globalisation of markets is having a profound effect on business and information technology strategies of individual organisations. The move away from nationally focused business units to a global product-market focus requires an effective international coordination of a firm's activities. To support a global outlook, many firms are implementing enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. Although ERP has become the de facto standard for international organisations there are few documented examples of implementation. This paper seeks to make a contribution to this important area. A case study analysis of the strategic context and implementation of a global ERP project in a multinational textiles group is presented. It illustrates the transformation of a conglomerate of nationally organised businesses into a pan-European organisation. The case analysis demonstrates the organisational and technical complexity of ERP implementation and identifies the factors that determined the total cost of the system. Opportunities for future research are outlined.

This paper presents an empirical methodology for low power driven complex DSP embedded systems design. Unlike DSP design for high performance, research of low power DSP design has received little attention, yet power dissipation is an increasingly important and growing problem. Highly accurate power prediction models for DSP software are derived. Unlike previous techniques, the methodology derives software power prediction models using statistical optimization and it is verified with real power measurements. The approach is general enough to be applied to any embedded DSP processor. Results from two different DSP processors and over 180 power measurements of DSP code show that power can be predicted far embedded systems design with less than 4% error. This result is important for developing a general methodology for power characterization of embedded DSP software since low power is critical to complex DSP applications in many cost sensitive markets.

We designed a new network architecture, the P-Mesh, which combines the scalability and fault resilience of a torus with the performance of a switch. We compare the scalability, performance and cost of the hub, switch, torus, tree and P-Mesh architectures. The latter three are capable of scaling to thousands of nodes. However, the torus has severe performance limitations with that many processors. The tree and P-Mesh have similar latency, bandwidth and mid-bisection bandwidth, but the P-Mesh outperforms the switch architecture (a lower bound for tree performance) on 16-node NAS parallel benchmark tests by up to 23%, and costs 40% less. Furthermore, the P-Mesh has better fault resilience characteristics. The P-Mesh architecture trades increased management overhead for lower cost, and is a good bridging technology, while the price of tree uplinks is expensive.

Health care providers often face different types of problems than uncertainty-those involving wicked decision problems. Whereas uncertainty reduction requires increased information processing capabilities, wicked decision problems require both increased information processing and sensemaking capabilities. Sensemaking is about interpreting and deriving meaning from multiple, conflicting cues. Case studies of three teleconsultation projects utilized for both sensemaking and information processing are presented. In addition to impacting the cost and quality of care provided in remote areas, telemedicine networks utilized to reduce uncertainty may experience lower utilization rates, while telemedicine utilized to address wicked decision problems may experience increased utilization rates.

We describe a dynamic document genre for online news, specifically designed to support end users in both easily skimming news stories as well as reading them in-depth. Through careful analysis of the needs of online news readers, and understanding the opportunities and constraints of the computational medium, we set out to define characteristics of a document management environment which uses linguistically-intensive content analysis techniques to derive document abstractions usable as 'zooming' windows into and out of documents. The notion of flexible mediation between progressively richer, and more informative, layers of document content defines the core underlying characteristic of a dynamic document genre. We prototyped and deployed three examples of dynamic document viewers that characterize this new genre. The design incorporates a novel mix of: state-of-the-art linguistic analysis techniques that produces capsule document overviews, novel temporal typography techniques that allows us to dynamically change how these overviews are presented to the reader, specialized search and filter mechanisms to cull collections of relevant documents from the Web, and large screen displays to facilitate peripheral awareness of constantly changing news feeds.

The scope of web-based applications has grown enormously, encompassing now four general kinds of Web-based systems: (1) Intranets, to support internal work, (2) Web presence sites that are marketing tools with the goal of reaching consumer outside of the firm, (3) Electronic Commerce systems that support consumer interaction, such as on-line shopping, and (4) a blend of internal and external systems to support business-to-business communication, commonly called Extranets.Thus, the web platform has transformed itself in the few years from a mere marketing presence to a platform that can support all facets of organizational work. As a result, more important IS efforts are geared towards exploiting the benefits of this platform, leading to the development of information systems based on Web technology, what we call "Web Information Systems" (WISs) [1]. We believe that this type of systems will become as commonplace as client/server systems did a decade ago, but with an exponentially higher impact on our lives, if anything, simply because the WWW has the potential of reaching a much wider audience than client/server systems based on proprietary networks.

Since mass customization is becoming more and more important as a marketing strategy, companies have to produce highly specialized and individualized products. To satisfy these customer demands, manufacturers, suppliers and retailers are building networks and connecting their application systems together. For this, electronic commerce techniques are a considerable asset for speeding up the inter-company coordination process. In this paper, an approach is discussed that supports distributed but logically integrated business processes in which complex and hard-to-standardize data occur, by applying e-commerce techniques. By doing so, the inter-company data exchange, planning and coordination of the production processes in the case of mass customization are improved.

This paper presents efficient dataflow schemes for parallel string matching. Two subproblems known as the exact matching and the k-mismatches problems are covered. Three parallel algorithms based on multiple input (and output) streams are presented. Time complexities of these parallel algorithms are O((n/d)+/spl alpha/), O/spl les//spl alpha//spl les/m, where n and m represent lengths of reference and pattern strings (n/spl Gt/m) and d represents the number of streams used (the degree of parallelism). We can control the degree of parallelism by using variable number (d) of input (and output) streams. These performances are better than those found in the literature. These algorithms present three different methods to design special purpose systolic array hardware for string matching. With linear systolic array architecture, m PEs are needed for serial design and d*m PEs are needed for parallel design.

This paper introduces a novel new class of network-based software agents, called CoBERT agents, because they are designed to cooperate in the best-effort maximization of global system objectives for a dynamic set of agents with evolving characteristics, while reliably accommodating real-time requirements, as well. Cooperation is achieved by supporting mobility within a subnet of processing nodes, morphability between sets of available workpoints, decision epochs for shifting to other nodes and/or workpoints, appropriate state-dependent functions for expressing decision options and implications, and an appropriate protocol for sharing this information with meta-control agents charged with continuously monitoring the network and making the best-effort decisions. The timely scheduling of hard and soft real-time activities is accomplished even though there is no a priori knowledge as to where the agent will run and with which additional CoBERT agents. Such capabilities are essential to future agent-based systems, as real-time grows pervasive and as dynamic sets of evolving agents populate our networks. A distributed integrated HIL simulator is used to introduce the real-time domain and to demonstrate how the CoBERT agent paradigm might be applied.
