In this paper, according to the functional requirements of virtual agile manufacturing, a pragmatic Web-based platform entitled \u201cE-DREAM\u201d has been developed to support the virtual enterprising. Firstly, this paper discusses the E-DREAM basic architecture, infrastructure, and the global object model of E-DREAM. Next, based on the information, information interaction, and role classification, the distributed information management and role management in E-DREAM are interpreted, illustrating that the information access visibility level is dependent on the role that an agile partner plays in a VE (Virtual Enterprise). Making use of CORBA-based method, the implementation of wrapping software resources is conducted, which aims at interoperating the remote software resources. In the end, the E-DREAM prototype implementation is presented. Through the E-DREAM architecture development and prototype system implementation, we have come up with a thorough approach for building agile virtual enterprises, configuring and re-configuring working platforms for different agile partners.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1063293x02010002698","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,1,20]],"date-time":"2003-01-20T06:17:38Z","timestamp":1043043458000},"page":"165-183","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["E-DREAM: A Web-Based Platform for Virtual Agile Manufacturing"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Dunbing","family":"Tang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Precision Instruments and Mechanology, Institute of Manufacturing Engineering, Tsinghua University, Beijing, 100084, P.R.
