Abstract: recent rapidly changing competitive environment, information technology plays an important role on value chain. Many firms invest IT to ensure their success on e-commerce. However, how affect the firm performance when using information systems in supporting organizational e-commerce activities is still a question. The purpose of the research is to explore how the IT infrastructure and e-commerce capability affect firm performance. The paper proposes and test a research framework to analyze the relationship among IT infrastructure, e-commerce capability and firm performance based resource-based view. At last, the paper points out some research suggestions for the future study related to the e-commerce capability and business value research.

Abstract: Computational simulations are used for the optimization of production processes in order to significantly reduce the need for costly experimental optimization approaches. Yet individual simulations can rarely describe more than a single production step. Hence, a set of simulations has to be used to simulate a contiguous representation of a complete production process. Besides, sim­ulated results have to be analyzed by domain experts to gather insight from the performed computa­tions. In this paper, an IT-infrastructure is proposed that aims at a rather non-intrusive way of inter­connecting simulations and domain expert’s knowledge to facilitate the collaborative setup, execu­tion and analysis of distributed simulation chains.
