Electronic Supply Network Coordination in Intelligent and Dynamic Environments: Modeling and Implementation

Fifteen articles by academics in the fields of industrial engineering, informatics and computer science showcase current research in next generation coordinated supply networks. The volume is divided into three sections covering advances in supply network coordination, modeling and analysis of supply network coordination and intelligent agent approaches to supply network coordination, and individual paper discuss topics such as e-business in supply chain management evaluating RFID applications in supply network management, multi-echelon supply chain modeling, fuzzy electronic supply chain systems, capacity sharing issues in an electronic co-op network and agent based dynamic route selection for multilayer electronic supply networks. Each individual paper includes an abstract, bibliography and notations and a volume-wide compilation of references is included. Annotation c2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
