Abstract: The ongoing world economic crisis has shown that being a successful enterprise in normal economic conditions is not a guarantee of sustainability.So the crisis has led to bankruptcy of many successful enterprises, especially large-sized enterprises.This brought into question the future of large-sized enterprises, but at the same time raised the question whether there is an alternative to large-sized enterprises.Of course, there is an alternative in networking of small and mediumsized enterprises and their optimal selection in the creation of new virtual enterprises.This paper deals with the problem of the selection of cooperators for the new production process.It is assumed that enterprises can be mutually compared and ranked, and that makes optimization possible, using Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm.
