Abstract:
The key problem in the construction of virtual enterprises (VEs)
is how to select appropriate partners. The negotiation-based
approach is proposed to support partner selection in the
construction of VEs . The negotiation model is discussed from
three main aspects respectively, i.e., negotiation protocol,
negotiation goal and negotiation decision-making model. And the
generic mathematical description of the negotiation model is
formally presented. Finally, a simple example is used to
validate the approach’s availability.
Key words:
