    <pub:abstract><![CDATA[The production management system used by most manufacturers today is comprised of
disconnected planning and execution processes, and lacks the support for interoperability for enterprise
wide integration. This situation often prevents the manufacturer from fully exploring market opportunities
in a timely fashion. To address this problem, we propose an agent-based framework for intelligent
enterprise integration. A set of agents with specialized expertise can be quickly assembled to help with the
gathering of relevant information and knowledge, to cooperate with each other and with other management
systems and human managers and analysts to arrive at timely decisions in dealing with various enterprise
scenarios. The proposed multi-agent system, including its theoretical foundation, architecture, and
implementation are presented. The work of this system is demonstrated through an integration scenario
involving real management software systems.]]></pub:abstract>
