A Multi-Agent, Semantic Web Service-based modeling for cooperation in the supply chain environment
Ezzeddine Benaissa, Abdellatif Benabdelhafid · 2012
In the context of a supply chain, the enterprise must not only integrate its local objectives in its decisions, but also consider those of its partners, which may be contradictory. The enterprises are thus converted into cooperating to define a comprehensive strategy. To study the cooperation inter-enterprise, it is necessary to determine the stakes and the interests of each actor of the supply chain. The main objective of our work is to develop a distributed architecture based on Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) and Semantic Web Services (SWS) to ensure the cooperation in the context the extended enterprise. This letter corresponds to a different corporate network sharing a management system in a more or less complete way in the direction where it can be a question of the management system as such or of a common standard allowing the interworking of the management systems of the implied companies. The partnership between the various companies is considered in a perennial way.
