Grid-based information aggregation architecture for supply chain coordination

Abstract

To support supply chain coordination management model's development and popularization, information platform must be able to integrate information resources in the supply chain and make them collaborate dynamically. Grid technologies and infrastructures support the sharing and coordinated use of diverse resources in dynamic, distributed virtual organizations. It's regarded as the promising foundation for constructing supply chain system. This paper proposed grid-based information aggregation architecture for supply chain coordination based on the analysis of the supply chain coordination problem. © 2008 by Springer Science+Business Media New York.
