Abstract

This paper proposes and describes a prototype of an agent-based infrastructure to support the supply chain management of a virtual enterprise. A virtlual enterprise is composed of autonomous, distributed, and continuously evolving entities, therefore we have naturally modelled each businiess entity with an agent platform. Each agent can play several roles according to the task to fulfill. To this end, we apply such an approach to a virtual storehouse scenario.
