Implementation of Collaborative Control in Supply Chain Management by Using DA and Workflow Technology

The traditional workflow technology has many disadvantages when applied in the inter-enterprise supply chain management systems. To overcome these disadvantages we design a cooperative control framework based on both integrated-distributed agent and workflow technology, we implemented the cooperating process between the collaborative originating agent and collaborative participation agent taking advantage of the MSA collaborative model; based on the RAWF (roled-driven agent workflow, RAWF) distributed transaction processing model, we described the dependence between different tasks. Finally we implemented the supply chain management system on the JADE platform and J2EE development frameworks.
