Supply Chain Automation Requirements

Computer applications which automate supply chains require several requirements apart from traditional software approaches:

• Disintermediation (the direct acquaintance of users and their software): Uniform quality attainment and to have interaction with remote information, application, and human resources, distributed active-object architecture is necessary.
• Dynamic compatibility and execution: Generally a system is implemented as a group of distributed parts, and the resources which are essential are not known until runtime. So the automated framework should make resource discovery and composition very essential.
• Interaction: Interaction among members might will include sophisticated and critical information, but sometimes certain interactions will be uncertain and unknown until runtime. So, the automated patterns should therefore be clearly represented and reasoned.
• Error tolerance and exploitation: As the advanced systems attain complexity, the prediction and correction of errors in their components and interaction protocols are very much essential. Recent developments in software agent architecture and languages can achieve requirements.
