Abstract

In this paper, we discuss an agent based solution strategy to the new customer centric economy created by the Internet. This solution strategy includes changing the current supply chain model into a value net model that is driven by the customer and coordinated by a complex multi-agent network. To coordinate all activity within the multi-agent value net a new agent based communication language based on the Extensible Markup Language (XML) is proposed.
