Abstract

The application of multi-agent technology to partner selection problem of virtual enterprise in Internet is studied. The partner selection model is constructed based on multi-agent technology. In this construction, each management function, resource and sub-task is defined as an agent. The communication, cooperation and negotiation among agents are analyzed. Immune particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is proposed and applied to the optimization of partner selection and task scheduling agent. The general requirements of partner selection model of virtual enterprise based on multi-agent structure are satisfied.
