“…To increase modelling scalability, we used a modularization/ abstraction technique to encapsulate shapes and views. The business layer (6) defines and describes the specific problem domain/subdomains of the SUDDEN model by using the Marama tools. It also specifies the behaviours of the sub domains.…”

Abstract-Supply chain modelling and simulation by SMEs (Small-to-Medium Enterprises) is a challenging problem. This is due both to complexity of the supply chain models required and the lack of required expertise among the SMEs. The problem is important since SMEs need to represent and modify their evolving skills and processes to be visible in electronic marketplaces and supply chain design platforms. We demonstrate how this problem can be addressed by developing a suite of novel domain-specific visual languages and a support tool. The challenging setup of our research context motivated us to trial a new approach for the design of our visual languages and to employ a collaborative development process across our distributed research team.

“…It is necessary to use ontology for coordination and communication among the SC intelligent agents; because the agents are related in knowledge level and they need a common understanding to interpret the interchanged information (Pakonen et al 2007). Ye et al (2008) have explained the necessity of semantic integration in the SC, consequently recommended the ontology, and developed Onto-SCM ontology for the SC.…”

Previous studies have not provided any information system (IS) solution for the supply chain (SC) performance measurement based on the Global Supply Chain Forum (GSCF) reference model due to the complexities of interoperability among the ISs in the SC. As an innovation, this paper has proposed an architecture that allows the SC Performance Measurement System (SCPMS) components to have multi-level interoperability by integrating the multi-agent technology as well as ontology technology. It has also proposed a method to develop the required ontologies for the PMS agents and developed the ontologies in the Web Ontology Language (OWL) to provide the semantic level interoperability. The syntax-level interoperability has been provided by a number of agent interaction protocols (AIPs). As another innovation, the authors have developed the SCPMS algorithms for the link analysis method by the Breadth-First Search (BFS) method and proved those algorithms. The authors have created the PMS agents based on those algorithms and prototyped a Multi-Agent System (MAS) for the SC of a tile manufacturer as a case study. The proposed multi-level architecture supports the GSCF model in the SC performance measurement, and improves the interoperability and the integration of the SCPMS.

No document standard is sufficient for all purposes because the requirements significantly differ among businesses, industries, and geopolitical regions. On the other hand, the ultimate aim of business document interoperability is to exchange business data among partners without any prior agreements related to the document syntax and semantics. Therefore, an important characteristic of a document standard is its ability to adapt to different contexts, its extensibility, and its customization. The UN/CEFACT Core Component Technical Specification (CCTS) is an important landmark in this direction. In this article, we present a survey and an analysis of some of the prominent UN/CEFACT CCTS-based electronic document standards. We describe their document design principles and discuss how they handle customization and extensibility. We address their industry relevance and the recent efforts for their harmonization and convergence. We conclude by mentioning some emerging efforts for the semantic interoperability of different document standards.
