Abstract: Supply Chain Management (SCM) environments demand intelligent solutions, which can perceive variations and achieve maximum revenue. This highlights the importance of a commonly accepted design methodology, since most current implementations are application-specific. In this work, we present a methodology for building an intelligent trading agent and evaluating its performance at the Trading Agent Competition (TAC) SCM game. We justify architectural choices made, ranging from the adoption of specific Data Mining (DM) techniques, to the selection of the appropriate metrics for agent performance evaluation. Results indicate that our agent has proven capable of providing advanced SCM solutions in demanding SCM environments.
