Abstract
The paper attempts to illustrate the positive interference of life cycle assessment techniques of products and production facilities, on the one hand, and of agent-based approaches applicable within their life cycles, on the other. In the approach proposed in the paper, not only the cost problems, but also the environmental impacts of processes and operations are considered during a resource allocation process relying on market principles. A hierarchical rule structure called Priority Rules System is introduced.
