About this book
Collaboration is a "watch word" and a recognized outcome of the increasing integration in business and industry. The Industrial Revolution brought us "standardization" and as it continues to evolve, "standardization" has widened into the concept of "rationalization."
There are some complex organizational and technical forces behind the emerging momentum of Enterprise Collaboration, and these factors will lead to the emergence of a model of collaboration to achieve the goals of integration for enterprises and extended enterprises.
This book goes beyond the discussion of global databases and presents a general Enterprise Resources Market model to facilitate the management and integration of enterprise information resources in a cooperating mode. The bulk of the book discusses this particular concept in depth and implements a general model to focus on a new publish-and-subscribe model for information resource owners to cooperate at a scale much larger than the traditional global query.
