Abstract
The design and operation of autonomous agents to assure information in ERP systems of inter-networked enterprises are investigated. A variable information assurance implementation model is proposed based on the AIMIS model, and a risk assessment procedure is applied. The protocols and models needed to support variable assurance are introduced and their performance is assessed. Experimentation shows the possibility to reduce the processing time of requests without decreasing the proportion of trusted requests, compared to a systematic total assurance approach.
