Physical elements: WITNESS provides elements that represent tangible objects: Planning must occur in layers, with interfaces to adjacent pieces in view, but with the detailed implementation of partner pieces hidden in a "black box" and often.WITNESS models: A WITNESS model consists of a collection of WITNESS elements, together with the control logic (rules and actions) that ensure that the model performs in the same way as a real-life system. It must create order from diversity.Ĭreating an architecture that preserves the loose coupling of modern architectural components differs from the unified view of monolithic architectures. (Camarinha-Mathos, 2002)Įnterprise architecture for the virtual environment must provide structure and efficiency benefits, while accommodating numerous elements from multiple designers and origins. The virtual enterprise is known as a temporary alliance of enterprises that come together to share skills and resources in order to better respond to business opportunities and whose cooperation is supported by computer networks. This problem becomes bigger if the software we have to choose has to be used in a virtual enterprise. We all have a problem choosing between multitudes of software existing on the market at the moment. Key words: modelling, simulation, virtual enterprise, decision But the architecture of virtual enterprises does not allow partners to meet face to face for every decision that must be taken. The problem appears because in the virtual enterprise the decision to use certain software must be taken in such a manner so all the partners of the alliance agree with the decision. In this paper we propose a different approach of this problem.

Abstract: We all have a problem choosing between the multitudes of software existing on the market in this moment.
