Abstract
The application of Multi-Agent Systems in the field of logistics is a major challenge and appears to be the next generation of enterprise integration technologies. Undoubtedly, agent technologies are very useful and will be the next major step toward the development of information systems, thus it is important to identify clearly and describe the appropriate business processes in E-logistics concerning collaborative E-business and supply web management. To prove the validity of software agents, it is of major importance to achieve a clear view of the application environment and to develop appropriate methods for agent-oriented modelling concerning their integration.Keywords
