A Virtual Enterprise Modelling with the use of Intelligent Software Agents

Trends in the last decade of the past century such as rapid development of IT technology and market globalisation have put the customer in the centre position, dictating conditions regarding the products/services. These conditions are: multi-variant product, higher quality of products and services, shorter lead times and, naturally lower product price. The need for implementation of new organizational structures that would comply with conditions regarding the distribution and decentralization has for some time been a topic of interest of many research institutions and industrial subjects. A research team working at the University of Split is investigating new forms of co-operation, particularly the virtual enterprise approach, and tools used in its implementation and optimisation. This paper describes the process of modelling a virtual enterprise using the agent technology.
