| Abstract: | Earlier research has shown that by establishing business collaboration with mutual partners through the provision of a collaborative service platform that enables information interoperability and service orchestration, shared benefits of a lowered entry barrier and improved competitiveness could be achieved. However, these projected shared benefits have not been able to be perceived by rural business entities, who have been in the ongoing effort to establish the means to stimulate innovation and competitiveness to improve their economic welfare. One of the promising approaches is by empowering their existing assets and making the rural businesses smarter through the provision of a collaborative service platform that is aimed to grant them improved access to a more established network of marketplaces. This effort leads to the participation of diverse application components and business processes that motivates the need for a reference architecture to streamline the provision of this collaborative service platform for the rural business ecosystem. Given this objective, this research designed the reference architecture of service-oriented business collaboration platform by first exploring the architectural components that are essential to alleviate rural businesses' entry barrier to the digital business ecosystem. A number of architectural viewpoints that focus on overseeing the provision of Sales Order, Funding Source, and Tourism Promotion Management was delivered from this process. In order to discover the effects generated from the implementation of this reference architecture, an instantiation into a concrete architecture applied to West Java Digital Province initiative was performed. A working prototype based on the architecture was also developed and demonstrated to a group of representatives from the initiative. From the interview session, with the obtained average score ranging from 4.2 to 4.5 and standard deviation smaller than 1, it is concluded that all respondents have generally approved that this architecture has presented the essential components to lower the rural business ecosystem entry barrier to the digital business ecosystem. |
