Generic Framework for Agent Adaptability and Utilization in a Virtual Organization - Preliminary Considerations

In our work we consider resource management in a virtual organization. The proposed approach is based on utilization of ontologies to represent structure of the organization and its domain of operations, and software agents that support workers in fulfilling various roles within the organization. In this paper we consider processes involved in a generic Virtual Organization Agent taking up / changing / adapting its functions to, a
