A Selecting Method of Virtual Enterprise Members Based on Ant Algorithm

In an ever increasingly competitive market environment, virtual enterprise has been gradually becoming a main corporate operating model. More and more enterprises are beginning to form virtual enterprises with other firms. In this way they can also take on the investment risks together. Information system is the very foundation for the virtual enterprises to achieve a highly effective operation, member selecting is the important function of many information systems of virtual enterprise. But presently the related technology concerning the virtual enterprise information system cannot satisfy the needs of the users. This paper researches the member selecting of virtual enterprise, puts forward a selecting method of virtual enterprise group members based upon the ant algorithm, which can be used to deal with the issue of selecting virtual enterprise group members under the condition of multi optimization objects. Then it presents the realization steps of the algorithm and examines some real cases.
