Abstract

This chapter describes an environment to support the rapid assembly of agent-oriented business collaborations. Our environment allows: (i) setting up a collaboration environment as a virtual organization; (ii) reaching agreements within the collaboration environment to form short-term business collaborations; (iii) enacting business collaborations; and (iv) tracking the performance of agents within business collaborations to build their trust and reputation within the collaboration environment.
