Abstract:

Intelligent agents have an important role when we are talking about a virtual enterprise. Its role has been widely discussed over the years. Electronic commerce has been gaining momentum and is already quite popular among common consumers. The paper tries to combine these ideas and develop other aspects that arise from here. The tests and the simulation results show what and how can be some consequences related to e-commerce, with direct implications of intelligent agents in a virtual enterprise.
