The Agent - Based Virtual Enterprise
نویسنده
چکیده
A virtual enterprise is composed of distributed, heterogeneous and autonomous components and therefore, could be mapped into a multi-agent system (MAS). Moreover, the coordination and distributed problem solving that arise in a VE can be solved by MAS technology. The paper presents a generic agent-based model of a virtual enterprise, and highlights the main advantages and disadvantages of such a model.
