Virtual enterprise is predicted to be the most important business organizational patterns in the near future. In response to this trend, this paper presents a model based on multi-agent system and hierarchical policy specification to simulate the manipulation of virtual enterprise. By subdividing application level and representation scope of policy, this specification not only provides good system control on autonomy agents, but also ensures the flexibility of agents. For conflicts that may be brought about by policy specification, detection algorithms and resolution methods are presented.
