Distributed Models of Networked Enterprises

Introduction

Integration is an intelligent response to an increasing fragmentation of distributed organizations. Information integration in networked enterprises is necessary to gain better control over the different units or functions of an organization, leading to improved performance and, potentially, better results. Successful integration is viewed as a highly competitive ability. Many information systems and tools are offered for integration, but the problem is how to organize the integration effort, particularly the information flow and processing. In this area, research projects address the integration of distributed human, computer, and machine functions in a factory or a service organization. The objective is to model processes of integration, analyze and evaluate them, and assess the performance of alternative means of integration, including integration architectures and protocols. An important analogy is drawn from models and systems of parallel computing.
