Research and implementation of distributed project management system for virtual enterprise

Project management for virtual enterprise is a challenging task, current project system cannot support it very well because of the gap between enterprises. After analyzing the characteristics of virtual enterprise, the project domain was defined for supporting the virtual enterprise project management system. Then we discuss the information sharing mechanism between domains based on public, protected and primate library, and present a system architecture based on grid service. Experiments show that the proposed approach can be used in distributed project management environment, such as networked manufacture system.
