Abstract

A virtual district is defined as a consortiumof independent member enterprises which operate in an integrated and organic way to exploit business opportunities. Such enterprises cooperate to achieve common goals following agreed upon cooperative processes. Considering a cooperative process as a set of activities performed by e-Services provided by the different enterprises, this work studies the compatibility among e-Services to support the dynamic substitution of failed or modified e-Services. The methodology takes into account both syntactic and semantic analysis, using a domain ontology to match the different terminology used by the different e-Service providers.
