Abstract
Appearance of business networks can be considered as a response to changes in global markets. Networks can be seen as a step beyond the linear supply chain topography. The paper proposes an approach to business network modelling based on service networks. Since the centralized control is not always possible, presented approach proposes decentralized communication and ad-hoc decision making based on the current situation state and its possible future development. An approach presented is based on application of such technologies as ontology and context management to knowledge sharing. Ontologies are used for description of knowledge domains. The paper also presents experience of application of the above approach to the area of dynamic logistics. The considered problem takes into account continuously changing problem environment and requires nearly real-time solving.
