Negotiation-Driven supply Chain Co-ordination for Small and Medium Enterprises, in ECAI Workshop Notes - Agent Technologies and Their Application Scenarios in Logistics -

Leading Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) vendors are offering new tools and solutions allowing co-ordination through centralized planning and control of the overall Supply Chain (SC); yet there are many SCs made up of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in which such an approach is not viable, since the components of the chain are not willing to give up their planning autonomy for co-ordination's sake; moreover, information privacy is also an issue. In this paper, a Multi Agent System (MAS) architecture is presented, aiming to improve planning co-ordination in networks of independent enterprises.
