Abstract
‘Multi Enterprise Scheduling’ considers the temporal allocation of activities to resources. As soon as the specific targets and additional conditions have been achieved, the most suitable enterprise to execute the activity must be chosen. In the following article, the activity model presents the connections and logical sequence of the activities within the company overlapping business processes. The Organization units are identified in an Organizational and Resource Model. In the concept they are represented through Multi Agents, namely the Activity Agent and the Resource Agent. To meet the requirements of communication and cooperation across companies, it is attempted to implement this agent technology with web parts.
