Implementing a multi-agent system for the real-time coordination of a typical supply chain based on the JADE technology

Abstract

With the emergence of high speed wireless networks and parallel advancements in Internet-based technologies such as the semantic Web, Web services, agent-based technologies, and context awareness, the realization of the vision of the intelligent wireless Web (IWW) has become a possibility. Under a project named SWESS (Smart WEb-based Supply chain coordination Software) in Shiraz University of Technologypsilas IT Laboratory, we simulated software that implements previous proposed framework. In this paper, after taking a brief look at a practical framework for mobile real-time supply chain coordination via IWW, we are going to investigate how we simulated such system and its performance.
