Abstract: | In this paper the authors provide an overview of E- Alliance, a software infrastructure the authors are developing to support negotiation activities in concurrent inter-organisational alliances. The authors' baseline is to offer a collaboration framework which fully preserves the autonomy of organisations grouped in an alliance, while enabling concurrency of their activities, flexibility of their negotiations and dynamic evolution of their environment. The authors propose to support negotiation between the partners within such alliances by combining different technologies, such as software engineering techniques, middleware-level coordination facilities and multi agent systems support. |
