Abstract

This paper describes a real solution applied to an enterprise of ornamental plant selling and distribution. The platform that we propose uses intelligent agent technologies and ontologies to meet the special needs of an enterprise of this kind. We present the architecture defined with the agents involved in both parties, the plant wholesaler and the plant producers. A description of the ontologies that these agents use to interact is also provided. In the final section some relevant issues detected and conclusions will be presented.
