Abstract
Like multi-agent systems, KM collaboration environments can be seen as distributed systems where different actors, each pursuing its own goals, need to interact in order to achieve their goals and realize organizational objectives. In this paper, we present an agent-based model for organizations that supports individual initiative and collaboration while prescribing a formal model for organizational processes. This model enables the development of people-oriented KM environments that focus on the collaboration between people. The model is applied to the development of a knowledge market.
