Abstract

At present, business decision making is a crucial task in every enterprise as it allows to minimize risks and maximize benefits. For effective decision making, large corporations and enterprises need tools that will help them detect inefficient activities in their internal processes. This article presents a virtual organization of agents designed to detect risky situations and provide recommendations to the internal auditors of large corporations. Each agent within the virtual organization facilitates the interconnection of enterprises with the central decision node of the corporation. The core of the agent-based virtual organization consists of two agents: one that is specialized in detecting risky situations in all aspects of business enterprise and an advisor agent which communicates with the evaluator agents of the different departments of a business and provides decision support services. This paper presents a real-case scenario which includes small and medium enterprises, the results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed architecture.
