一个基于Agent实现虚拟企业域间协作的框架

国内外关于虚拟企业协作的研究往往忽略了域间、域内协作的差别，片面地采用单一方法来解决虚拟企业复杂的协作问题。在分析了Agent机制适用且仅适用于实现域间协作的原因后，提出了一个基于Agent实现虚拟企业域间协作的框架，旨在解决域间协作前的服务信息登记、伙伴选择，以及协作中伙伴间的交互问题。同时，论述了框架的基本思路、关键策略、协作时Agent的基本交互方式，以及框架在自行研发的两套基于工作流的协作系统之间的实际应用。该框架使企业既能继承原有管理系统，又能实现与其他异构系统之间的协作。

An Agent-based Framework for Cross-domain Cooperation of Virtual Enterprise

Virtual enterprise cross-domain cooperation and inner-domain cooperation have been implemented using an identical method, as the significant differences between them have been neglected. Based on the analysis of why the agent-based mechanism is suitable and only suitable for cross-domain cooperation of virtual enterprise, an agent-based framework is proposed. In this framework, there is a service-information Supply-Demand Center (SDC) serving as a service information medium, and Agents are responsible for cooperative partner selecting before cooperation and interaction during cooperation. Allocation strategy, negotiation strategy and basic interaction models are also presented. Finally, the application of the framework in ECCS (E-Commerce oriented Cooperative System) and Webflow, which are our two workflow-based cooperative systems, is introduced. The framework can make enterprises cooperate with other heterogeneous systems as well as inherit their existing management systems.
