Abstract: In the context of a distributed/agile/virtual enterprise (D/A/VE) and due to the large number of potential candidate resources, it is important to make a selection of those that will give more guarantees in terms of success of this cooperation and bring better performance to D/A/VE. There are several projects of D/A/VE with different approaches to the selection process. Considering the functionalities of the resources selection model of our project, the main objective of this paper is to present the development of a prototype/demonstrator tool to support it. As result a tool, named Selec_E A/V_V0, was developed and providing following features: pre-selection of resources with and without integration of the value analysis (VA), and final selection of resources. This tool supports the development of BM_VEARM selection model and permits the validation of the importance of VA integration in the final performance of the resources system selected.
