Abstract
This document aims to present the ICT platform and SW tools developed in the frame of the IST project PROVE-SME (Promoting Virtual enterprises out of SMEs): IST-1999-20276 PROVE-SME. The project aims to define and experiment best practices to put very small enterprises, with high collaboration potential, in a condition to constitute efficient Virtual Enterprises (VEs). This is achieved by providing SMEs with a Methodology and developing a SW platform (based on SMEs requirement) to support communication and coordination within the VE. In particular, the paper presents the specific ICT infrastructure developed based on SMEs requirements and that will be experimented and validated during the project by the three real test cases: COXA-VE, CORMA-VE and ETA-VE.
