Information System for Integrative and Dynamic Railway Supply Chain Management

An Agent-based Dynamic Information Network for Supply Chain Management

One of the main research issues in supply chain management is to improve the global efficiency of supply chains. However, the improvement efforts often fail because supply chains are complex, are subject to frequent changes, and collaboration and information sharing in the supply chains are often infeasible. This paper presents a practical collaboration framework for supply chain management whe...

Dynamic Ontology for Supply Chain Information Integration

In this paper, ontology technology is applied to Supply Chain information integration, in order to provide unified interface for semantic data and to share, reuse knowledge among information resources. Ontology can solve well the semantic heterogeneity problem of distributed, heterogeneous and autonomous data sources; and the problem of semantic interoperability. Since the objects on Supply Cha...

Software Agents for Dynamic Supply Chain Management

Some dynamic supply chain problems are instances of a class of distributed optimization problems that intelligent agents were made to address. Agents are thus a natural enabling technology for such problems. In this paper we describe the use of TÆMS agent technologies on a sterilized dynamic supply chain management problem.

Geographic Information System for Railway Management

Safety and security and considered a critical issue in railways. Applying geographic information system (GIS) and Global Positioning System (GPS) in the railway becomes very important. Web-based GIS makes it easy to exchange information and create better public communication through the Web site. It helps to plan for a trip by checking train times, stations and different lines between stations....
