Abstract
Sharing information about profiles and offered competencies of individual members within an alliance of cooperating companies facilitates searching for potential members of Virtual Organizations. This paper presents a concept of structuring of the competencies as well as a prototype proving this concept. The prototype follows a naturally hybrid architecture of alliances that consists of mutually independent alliance partners, who may be supported by central institutions of the alliance. The use of the agent-based solution enables information sharing among partners in such distributed and dynamic environment.
