Virtual organization

This section will contain some of the more technical aspects of hio-mathematical modelling (in-depth information can be found in Kohl et al. 2000). The subsequent section on The utility of virtual organs will address more general aspects that can be appreciated without knowledge of the detail presented next. 

The utility of virtual organs 8.5.1 Added value for research... 

Virtual organs will increasingly determine bio-medical research. Advantages of in silico models include the following ... 

So much for the advantages. Virtual organs clearly have one major drawback they are models only. While this very nature of in silico technology is the core foundation for the benefits listed above, it also calls for a word of caution. It is imperative for in silico tools to be seen in the context of a whole range of scientific and research tools, and to never neglect that theoretical considerations will continue to need experimental validation.

Computer-Supported Collaborative Work framework within virtual organizations... 

Camarinha-Matos et al., 2007) focused on the most important stages in the lifecycle of the virtual enterprise, formation of the virtual organization. Since virtual enterprises have a limited lifetime, they need to be formed very quickly in order to meet the deadlines of the goals. An important part of the formation of the virtual enterprise is the selection of its partners. They are selected on the basis of their ability to fulfill the requirements of the virtual enterprise. The partners have to work as a team and these requirements must address not only the individual partners of the virtual organization, but also how the partners fit into a team. 

The product manager in a virtual enterprise handles the partnership, manages the value chain, human resources, suppliers, customers or the product lifecycle. He/she has an updated status of the virtual organization, can access complex statistics regarding the value chain, human resources, partnership or sales. The figure 4 illustrates the sales statistics provided to the product manager in HTML format.
