The advances of wireless networking technologies and mobile devices has prompted many
modern enterprises to look for management information systems to remotely monitor and control of
their company operations in order to increase their flexibility and competitiveness in the market.
Multi-agent modeling has emerged as a powerful technology for dealing with cooperation and
decision-making processes in distributed information system applications. In this paper, we proposed
a Mobile-enterprise Multi-Agent Paradigm (MMAP) which is an intelligent multiagent-based system
combined with wireless VPN technology to provide various management operations to senior
executives by PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) with wireless data networks. To demonstrate how the
architecture can be built, the data collection agent, one of the primary component-ts of the proposed
paradigm, is developed into a prototype implementation for part of the MMAP.
