International Journal of Mobile Communications (IJMC), Vol. 5, No. 3, 2007

Abstract: Supply Chain Event Management (SCEM) is an approach aiming to fill the gap between Supply Chain Planning and Supply Chain Execution. The goal of SCEM applications is to monitor the states of supply chains by observing specific events and exceptions in real-time and alerting managers if problems occur. This paper presents an architecture for a mobile SCEM system based on software agents, Auto-ID technologies, and mobile computing. It introduces the main layers and components of this architecture. A special focus is placed on web services, mobile user interfaces, and integration of a multi-agent platform as innovative solutions to improve SCEM.
