Self-organizing model for virtual enterprises

Abstract

This paper presents a new self-organizing model based on the generalized particle dynamics (GPD) for virtual enterprises.1 Differing from traditional organizing model for virtual enterprises, the GPD-based self-organizing model may provide the optimal organization for desired virtual enterprises according to historical organizations and current requirements. The GPD conception, algorithm and its properties are discussed. The GPD-based self-organizing modeling has advantages in terms of the real-time performance, adaptability, reliability and the learning ability over traditional organizing models for virtual enterprises.
