Abstract

The development of agent-based systems grants developers a way to help investors and organizations in building efficient business systems.

In order to obtain relevant, consistent and updated information across a business system, Business Intelligence (BI) philosophy is implemented which is based on maintaining accurate daily information to improve latency from decision making process. In such scenario, Agents are preferred due to their autonomy, mobility and reactivity.
