Abstract
A guideline for designing Virtual Organizations, composed of a set of phases for requirement analysis, structure design and organizational dynamics design, is presented in this paper. It has been applied to a personalized information system, viewed as an open multi-agent system that acts as a regulated information meeting-point.
