Abstract

The paper focuses on the application of a multi-agent system for a management process. The presented system is working on the structure of graph, where nodes represent decision modules and edges — technological processes. Kinds of agents working in such environment are presented and an overview of the interaction protocols which can be used in such a system is given.
