An Application of Agent UML to Supply Chain Management
نویسنده
چکیده
Agent UML is a graphical modeling language for describing multiagent systems but until now, it has not been applied to real-world applications. The aim of our project is to apply Agent UML to Supply Chain Management. This project has several objectives: (1) it allows us to discover which diagrams have to be enhanced, modi ed or created and, (2) it allows us to de ne a methodology based on Agent UML and several tools. This paper summarises our preliminary results on applying Agent UML to Supply Chain Management and gives an overview of the UML diagrams that are of particular interest to design and development of multiagent systems. We conclude with a discussion of future work in this area.
