ABSTRACT

For agent-based supply chain integration & coordination (SCIC), agent architecture is the foundation and core content. In this paper, agent internal architecture and an infrastructure for SCIC are discussed in detail. For agent internal architecture, generic agent internal architecture reference is given and a concrete agent internal architecture for SCIC is put forward. For infrastructure, agent grid technology is introduced into SCIC. At the same time, agent grid technology and SCIC are bridged, and detail analysis is given. Finally, a case study is showed.
