Intelligent agents offer a new and exciting way of understanding the world of work. Agent-Based Simulation (ABS), one way of using intelligent agents, carries great potential for progressing our understanding of management practices and how they link to retail performance. We have developed simulation models based on research by a multi-disciplinary team of economists, work psychologists and computer scientists. We will discuss our experiences of implementing these concepts working with a well-known retail department store. There is no doubt that management practices are linked to the performance of an organisation (Reynolds et al., 2005; Wall & Wood, 2005). Best practices have been developed, but when it comes down to the actual application of these guidelines considerable ambiguity remains regarding their effectiveness within particular contexts (Siebers et al., forthcoming a). Most Operational Research (OR) methods can only be used as analysis tools once management practices have been implemented. Often they are not very useful for giving answers to speculative 'what-if' questions, particularly when one is interested in the development of the system over time rather than just the state of the system at a certain point in time. Simulation can be used to analyse the operation of dynamic and stochastic systems. ABS is particularly useful when complex interactions between system entities exist, such as autonomous decision making or negotiation. In an ABS model the researcher explicitly describes the decision process of simulated actors at the micro level. Structures emerge at the macro level as a result of the actions of the agents and their interactions with other agents and the environment. 3 We will show how ABS experiments can deal with testing and optimising management practices such as training, empowerment or teamwork. Hence, questions such as "will staff setting their own break times improve performance?" can be investigated.

An Intelligent Approach for Negotiating between chains in Supply Chain Management Systems
在供应链管理系统中进行商业谈判和选择最佳供应商是生产商在生产过程中的弱点之一。因此,应用智能系统可能会有一个有效的作用,在加快速度和提高质量的选择。本文介绍了一个系统,试图使用多代理系统和任何代理之间举行谈判的交易。在该系统中,每一个链段都有一个智能Agent,它通过协商媒介参与发送命令和接收响应,并与其他Agent进行通信,本文介绍了Agent之间的通信方式、多Agent的特点以及环境中每个Agent的标准注册媒介。利用JADE(Java Application Development Environment)实现和模拟了Agent之间的协作。
