In this paper we propose a systematisation of the monitoring and control aspects in a Virtual Enterprise (VE). As an instrument, we use the mobile agent paradigm, defining the concept of a Mobile Agent Web (MA-web). One of the roles of the agents in this environment is to mediate negotiations between the parties of the VE. We make some assumptions about the new behaviour and code of conduct in the MA-web, such as the willingness to share data and knowledge
