Management and Education on the Case-Based Complex e-Business Systems Based On Agent Centric Ontology and Simulation Games

To meet the challenge of educating a new generation of managers and software engineers, namely e-business engineers, a generic pedagogical scenario and technical support is proposed as case-teaching driven, model-based, role-play simulation games. Three core areas are identified then in needs of technical support. We elaborate briefly the design rationale and the status of its implementation using intelligent agent technology, with the beer distribution game as an illustration.
