MULTI-AGENT MANAGEMENT AND DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEMS

A multi-agent decision support system for supply chain management

Supply Chain Management (SCM) involves a number of activities from negotiating with suppliers to competing for customer orders and scheduling the manufacturing process and delivery of goods. The activities are different in their nature: they work with various data, have different tasks and constraints. At the same time, they are interrelated to ensure the achievement of the ultimate goal of max...

Multi-Agent Decision Support System for Supply Chain Management

This paper presents an extended abstract of the author’s doctoral research project on developing a multi-agent intelligent system for automatic managing supply chains. Supply chain management (SCM) is a very complex and dynamic environment. The doctoral work, which started in October 2005, is dedicated to finding better solutions for successful performance in the domain of real-time SCM.

Extending Time Management Support for Multi-agent Systems

Time management is essential when simulating multi-agent systems (MASs) as it allows consistent and repeatable simulation runs. So far, time management lacks support to express the timing requirements of a simulation explicitly and at an abstraction level appropriate for MAS developers. Moreover, integrating time management into a MAS requires the developer to alter the design of the MAS. In th...

Time Management Support For Simulating Multi-Agent Systems

Time management is essential when simulating multi-agent systems (MASs) as it allows consistent and repeatable simulation runs. So far, time management lacks explicit support to express the timing characteristics of a simulation at the level of activities within a MAS. Moreover, integrating a MAS into a simulation platform requires the developer to alter the design of a MAS. In this paper, we f...
