INTRODUCTION:
Since the advent of EDI, practitioners and researchers have longed for an  
e-business environment where business transactions can be conducted in a

environments are limited to the particular framework deployed, and  
additionally may be decreased due to so called additional features that  
vendors like to offer to get a larger slice of the market.  In recent  
years, many technological enablers, known as advanced Web technologies,  
and Web x.0 as well as their mixture, have been developed and deployed in  
e-commerce frameworks. Currently, a vision, concrete results that lead to  
common understanding of the e-business environment where technologies are  
deployed with full potential, and their intelligent combination are  
necessary to meet full interoperability requirements.

e-business interoperability, forecast future trends in the area, and
