ADDI: an agent-based extension to UDDI for supply chain management

This paper proposes a new mediate module ADDI to organize the UDDI nodes published by the different corporations on supply chain and establish a UDDI dynamic ranking model. We suggest a novel model for supply chain conduct classification, and define the supply chain entity conduct types as a standard for Web service classification and UDDI ranking. In this model, Web service-oriented technologies and protocols are deployed for modeling, managing and executing business-oriented functionalities and environments. We focus on the efficient integration of supply chain as key points to harmonize these technologies. Agent-orientation concepts and technologies are applied for SCM construction and interaction patterns.
