Building Agents for Internet-based Supply Chain Integration
Craig A. Knoblock, Steven Minton · 1999
As supply chains become more and more dynamic, the problem of rapidly integrating the data sources of new suppliers i s becoming increasingly important. This paper describes the Ariadne system, which can be used to quickly provide access to data sources of new supplier and requires only that the data of the suppliers is available on the Web. Our approach does not require reengineering the individual systems to work together, which is both costly and time consuming.
