Abstract
For a sufficient understanding of the status of the virtual organization (VO), assessment from viewpoints is required. The evaluation of the VO includes the evaluation of the entire VO, the assessment of partner organizations in VO, the evaluating of projects in VO, the evaluating of the progress of VO projects, the evaluation of the VO improvement in different periods, the assessment of capabilities, the assessment of a service-group, and etcetera. Understanding an accurate evaluation of the VO is an impressive factor in more effective VO management and helps VO achieve better to the VO mission and objectives. This research represents a new goal-oriented procedure for service-oriented (SO) VO assessment. This method can assess VO from the different types mentioned above. This method acts as part of COBEAM (collaborative enterprise architecture method) and works consistently with many goal-oriented service-oriented concept-based methods.
