چکیده
This paper describes a multi-agent decision support system called SC (Supply Chain Smart Coordination) that aims at offering an integrated environment to better manage dynamic supply chains by covering the production, distribution and sales chains. Reliable, timely and interoperable information are exchanged among the supply chain members in XML by means of a workflowdriven and CORBA-based platform, supporting the user in smart decisionmaking. This work has been developed in the scope of the IST DAMASCOS project, focusing on the fashion supply chains of SMEs. The general problem and framework are described, and some results are shown and discussed.
