The Adaptive Business Solutions Work Group exists to bring together providers and potential consumers of advanced software solutions, help customers evaluate these solutions, and facilitate dialog among technical and business stakeholders.

In particular, it works towards integrating agent technology into conventional enterprise technology. Logistics and resource management are among the most likely domains that will become the focal points for this.

Objectives

Given that context, the purposes of the meeting are to:

• Hear from various organizations about their experiences in developing and applying adaptive business solutions.
  
• Develop possible ABS solutions as part of the meeting
• Identify the next steps to be taken by the Work Group.
