DESIGNING A TOOLSET FOR THE PRIME VIRTUAL BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

The PRIME (Providing Real Integration in Multi-disciplinary Environments) project1 aims in modeling, creating and evaluation of a Virtual Business Environment (VBE) for learning the entire life cycle of products and processes for all involved stakeholders and for gaining practical experience in strategic manufacturing through serious gaming. The paper presents the overall architecture of the PRIME system. Further it discusses in more detail the design of the game toolset, which provides the user interface to system models such us: the life cycle of products and processes and all involved stakeholders. By providing various tools for management of business process semantics and dynamics, the toolset facilitates defining different end user scenarios upon scenarios templates within the VBE.
