Abstract :
Short term integration repeated multiple times in a year can create complex and potentially damaging integration architectures for the small to medium enterprise (SME). The solution to this problem proposed in this paper is a model which involves building business service networks (BSNs) based around a dynamic community approach to integration. The model is implemented using a grid service architecture and applies existing work on dynamic virtual organisations in the area of business to business integration
