Virtual Companies to simulate real processes

The project VULCAN is developing ‘Virtual Companies as a Teaching and Research Network’ to support the training and analysis process at business schools. For the connection of these companies at different locations future solutions in office communication systems are used basing on the German Research Netzwork (DFN), where substantial financial support came from. At five universities companies are established which only exist in the computers but react like real ones except there is no warehouse and no production. There is no simulation of activities but only reaction on the base of data input and common use real life software for different concerns of business administration.
