Abstract

The design or the realization of any project implies theinvolvement of a set of agents that can be individuals, teamsor enterprises. These agents share resources and competencies, similar or dissimilar, and cooperate in order to reachsome shared objectives by using Information Technologies.We speak then about virtual enterprise. However, exchanging data is not sufficient to support virtual enterprises, itis necessary to develop some adequate tools to guaranteea smooth functioning. Within a methodological frameworkfor the design of inter-enterprise cooperation systems particularly in the field of virtual enterprise, we present in thispaper three models of integration by data, by processes andby knowledge to support communication, coordination andcollective problem-solving. We conclude this paper with abrief early evaluation of the advantages of our approachfor inter-enterprise cooperation, by comparison with existing work coordination tools and architectures.
