Dear colleague,

Please consider contributing to the 16th edition of PRO-VE:

16th Working Conference on Virtual Enterprises

Albi, France - 5-7 Oct 2015

www.pro-ve.org

Main theme: Risks and Resilience of Collaborative Networks

Enterprises and society in general are increasingly challenged by unexpected disruptive events. The acceleration of globalization, demographic shifts, regional economic crises, changes in regulations, and rapid technological evolution lead to turbulences and instability. Additional factors contributing to this changing environment include global warming, terrorism, cyber-attacks, scarcity of resources, raising of nationalisms, racism and religious conflicts, among others.

Collaborative Networks (CNs) can provide tools to help organizations cope with unexpected changes and disruptions, particularly when exploring rapid consortia formation and dynamic structural re-organization mechanisms. CNs may also support addressing new business opportunities in these highly dynamic scenarios.

PRO-VE 2015 calls for contributions addressing these challenging questions:

� In which ways can CNs support agility and resilience?

� How can CNs mitigate risks of collaboration inn turbulent disruptive environments?

� What are significant eexamples of application cases and advanced ICT support systems supporting agile and resilient CNs ?

A plurality of scientific communities in Computer Science, Electrical and Industrial Engineering, Economics, Organizational Management and Socio-Human Sciences are encouraged to submit focusing on interdisciplinary solutions.
