This research work addresses the problem of information quality in distributed information systems. A TQM-based definition of information assurance is introduced to fit the needs of inter-networked enterprises that rely on information for the fulfillment of their objectives. Information failures type and impact are investigated in distributed systems like ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning). The design and operation of autonomous agents to implement variable information assurance in workflow systems are studied.
