In this way, new technologies have been applied to give an adequate response to this kind of software. One of these technologies is the agent technology that has found in the e-commerce one of the major application area. Our work is devoted to develop an e-commerce system that is especially thought for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), where several enterprises share a common mediated e-commerce site. Concretely, in this paper we present an e-commerce architecture definition proposal that is based on an agent-oriented technology, but also compliant with our past work in this area. This architecture establishes the basis for our future work on e-commerce solutions development, making near the e-business world to the small enterprises.
