The aim of this paper is to form the best collaborative networked organization of small manufacturers to fulfill a production plan. Manufacturing networks can be formed using two approaches. The conventional approach is the formation of networks by the grouping of the best manufacturers based on multiple criteria. The proposed approach is the formation of all feasible networks followed by the grouping of the best networks based on multiple criteria. The hypothesis of this paper is that the better group of manufacturing networks may not be the result of the selection of the best available manufacturers to form each network, based on the same criteria. The research methodology employed involves techniques such as interaction protocol development, ontology engineering, and principles from concepts such as the contract net protocol, the product-resource-order-staff-architecture, the auctioning process, agent-based modeling, and rule-based programming. Results from the proposed approach were compared to the conventional approach on multiple criteria namely lead time, quality, cost, and delivery reliability. On the basis of the results, the hypothesis was not rejected.Index Terms-Contract net protocol (CNP), holon, network, ontology, protocol, schedule.

E-administration is one of the areas that continues to attract the interest of both researchers and governors. It is one of the best areas of application of Information and communication technology (ICT). The objective of e-administration is not new; it is that of constantly improving the quality of service provided to citizens through the use of ICT. The change in e-administrative services remains a capital problem because it involves a new modeling of the service as well as a new implementation of the system each time there is a change of laws, the presence of specific cases of force majeure (natural disaster). Our approach proposes a generic modeling implemented by a holonic multi agent system (HMAS) to answer the problem of change. Generic modeling and its implementation based on holonic systems make it possible to develop flexible and intelligent systems to deal with the problem of change. The paper presents a case study through which we have dealt with the problem of change in administrative services. The change occurs during a collective move following a natural disaster. The paper ends with a conclusion presenting the perspectives and future work.
