Abstract :
We discuss conditions for the structure of cooperative e-business applications that provide added value. The conclusions are based on the analysis of business improvement and reengineering experience, and oil own results with cooperative product engineering support for e-business applications. It is recommended that e-business applications and services integrate virtual modeling with decision support and explicit workflow management. A concept of 2nd generation virtual model-based cooperative engineering support is introduced, and a respective implementation is reported
