Abstract

Food chain is one of the most complex, dynamic and essential systems in the world. It is fundamental to reveal the characteristics and build the behavior model of such a huge system in order to keep the food chain safe, secure and efficient. A novel bigraph-based food chain model is introduced to express the various one-to-one, one-to-many and many-to-many relations in the food chains, which also offers a traceable capacity to seek both the mid procedures and the roots for food safety issues. The modeling and tracing for the food chain system are discussed and then verified with an implementation including database storage and web service, which is implicational for the future applications in the traceable food chain systems.
