Abstract :
This paper applies the multiagent system paradigm to collaborative negotiation in manufacturing supply chain coordination. Multiagent computational environments are suitable for studying a broad class of coordination and negotiation issues involving multiple autonomous or semiautonomous problem solving agents. A case study of mobile phone global manufacturing supply chain coordination is reported.
