基于多代理和XML的供应链集成体系结构研究

A Research on the Integrated Framework of a Supply Chain System Based on Multi-agent and XML

研究如何利用多智能代理和XML来构造一个供应链集成管理系统,以多智能代理和Internet等作为企业信息交互的基础设施,以XML作为企业之间传递信息的编码语言,从而满足供应链管理系统的集成要求。给出了一个分布式多代理相互协作的多边协商算法MANA(Multi-Agent Negotiation Algorithm)。最后以电子采购为例讲解了这一集成体系在不同企业间的交互过程。

This paper inquires how to apply multi-agent and XML to establish an integrated framework of a supply chain management system. This system is based on multi-agent and internet as the infrastructure for corporate information exchange, and XML is applied to serve as the coding language in corporate information exchanges; both are implemented to meet the demands of the supply chain system. The paper offers a Multi-agent Negotiation Algorithm which involves the co-operation of distributed multiple agents, and electronic purchase is discussed as a case study to explain the interaction process of this system between different enterprises.
