BOX Models Based on MAS for the Reconfigurable ERP System

To meet the requirements of the reconfigurable ERP (RERP) system, the abstraction hierarchy of BOX (Bill of X) is designed based on MAS (multi-agent system), which is comprised of an enterprise structure model, an enterprise process model, an enterprise cost management model and a distributed decision-making model. The BOX models are established respectively in detail using UML (Unified Modeling Language). BOX models can fulfill the requirements of both enterprise business model reconfiguration and information system reconfiguration, and support both the intra-organizational and inter-organizational integration and reconfiguration of the enterprises.
