A Mediator-Based Infrastructure for Virtual Organisations
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper descripbes an open, flexible infrastructure to support virtual organisations using mediator agents. When applied in businessto-business electronic commerce, the mediators allows partners to exchange rich business information, and act in an agile and coordinated manner. As an example, we have created a demonstration application in the domain of telecommunications service provision, in collaboration with British Telecom. The paper describes how the mediator-based architecture supports the operation of a virtual organisation comprised of multiple vendors, and how mediators regulate the operational marketplace, to ensure that a virtual organisation complies with the rules of the market.
