Using social media technologies for enterprise resource markets engineering

Abstract

The study evaluates possibility of using social media technologies for implementing a full-fledged artificial market model, called Enterprise Resources Market. The existent model allows real-time resource self-scheduling (information and physical) for Internet-based enterprises employing agent-based peer-to-peer publish and subsribe approach with semantic matching of offers and requests. The market-style self-scheduling systems are complex to design and adopt in real-world for well-established and conservative industries. The new practical model suggests using popular microblogging platforms as global societal communication frameworks, and semantic wikis for collaborative describing resources and services, with aim of building enterprise resource markets specifically for individuals and small enterprises/organizations
