Abstract

Virtual organisations (V Os) are composed of a nu b er of individuals, departments or organisations each of which has a range of capabilities and resources at their disposal. These V Os are formed so that resources may be pooled and services combined with a view to the exploitation of a perceived market niche. However, in the modern commercial environment it is essential to respond rapidly to changes in the market to remain competitive. Th us, there is a need for robust, flexible systems to support the process of V O management t. Within the CONOISE ( www.conoise.org ) project, agent-based models and techniques are being developed for the automated formation and maintenance of virtual organisations. In this paper we f cus on a critical element of VO management: how an effective VO may be formed rapidly for a specified purpose.
