Abstract :
This paper proposes an agent-based enterprise information architecture called AbEIA to the handle technical and organizational problems faced by current enterprise information systems (EISs). AbEIA is composed of an information infrastructure layer, business process layer and a user interface layer. Seven types of agent are used in the new architecture to facilitate setting up information systems in enterprises. We also demonstrate how AbEIA is applied to the EIS of 3PL.
