Abstract
This paper presents an approach for a partners search and selection system to support the creation of Virtual Enterprises from a cluster of existing companies. This process is carried out in an agile, smart and secure manner, three basic enabling elements to enhance trust building inside the cluster. This approach exploits the use of mobile agents in an open and large-scale system, as well as introduces some security mechanisms in the agents systems.
