Résumé des résultats (Abstract) (Anglais)

The objective of agent-ismeTM is to assess, integrate and demonstrate technology for electronic commerce related to technical information services and products. It has a relationship to gen - the global engineering network, which is setting up value added services for engineers.
Agent-ismeTM is involving all necessary actors - end users, suppliers, technology and service providers. The scope of these pilot activities will cover business-to-business transactions and topics such as marketing and directories, but also interactive co-operative work, known as teleworking. In particular co-operative business processes in design and manufacturing organisations are addressed involving initial contact, design implementation, information transfer, pre- and post sales support. Technologically the project will be based on a layered service architecture and seeks to employ information exchange standards such as step and edi in a variety of user scenarios.
Part of this effort is the collection, analysis and implementation of sme-requirements, both end-users and suppliers, for value added services specific to technical organisations - initiated and conducted by selected european ccis and other sme organisations. Agent-ismeTM processes are new to the fact that it is almost completely uncommon that smes use the emerging ec technologies to their competitive advantage. Agent-ismeTM is promoting dissemination, awareness and particularly the evaluation of gen-like service capabilities. For this project under preparation a number specific electronic commerce and added-value demonstration scenarios will be tested for sme acceptance virtual company.
