“…An interesting concept investigated in MASSYVE is that the data are not sent from one agent to the other via a high-level protocol, as in the traditional push strategy, but rather through a pull strategy via the access to a federated information management system (FIMS) associated with each agent (Rabelo et al , 2000a. Thus, the high-level protocol is used for coordination purposes only, while massive data exchanges are performed by FIMS.…”

“…A component-based approach is adopted in this project that integrates previous work on multi-agent based scheduling inside an enterprise (the HOLOS system - Rabelo and Camarinha-Matos 1996) with the federated information management (the DIMS/FIMS system - Afsarmanesh et al 1999, Garita et al 2001) and extends the approach to VE (Rabelo et al , 2000a.…”

Agility is an important requirement for successful organizations in periods of market turbulence and largely unpredictable socio-economic changes. Agility in a virtual enterprise depends not only on the skills of its member enterprises but also on the characteristics of its supporting infrastructure. In this paper, various requirements and approaches for agility support during the full VE life cycle are presented and topics requiring further research are identified. Finally, two practical application scenarios are introduced and learned lessons presented.

“…Rocha, Daviddrajuh, Deng, Gou and others developed and defined broker and customer agents for different enterprises and designed a VE infrastructure. Unfortunately, due to lack of worldwide standards regarding agents messaging and collaboration these systems encountered tough problems and they barely fulfilled their orders [9] [11] [12]. In order to overcome to these problems interests over hybrid systems increased.…”
