Abstract
In this paper a model of an agent–based service provisioning is presented. In next generation network the service provisioning is a distributed process where different operators cooperate together to offer new services to the users. The presented model defines how a multi–agent system is organized, which agents are required and how agent coordination and cooperation during service provisioning is performed. Team formation process is explained as well as methods of agent learning and service provisioning optimization process.
