Research On Grid Workflow In SCM Based On Agent

With the deeper study of grid and the development of grid infrastructure, people have developed more and more powerful, requiring massive resources scientific computing and the coordination applications. Lots of grid applications are increasingly complex which have the time, the space, the resources and other constraints. So, it is inevitable that the research on grid is expanded from scientific research to commercial applications. The present research on web service integrity based on traditional workflow can not meet the needs of dynamic and distributed supply chain quite well. The techniques of grid workflow and multi-agent were combined against that, and the supply chain information system based on Agent and grid workflow was proposed.First, the present research on grid workflow, agent and management of supply chain techniques at home and abroad were analyzed in detail and summarized by the author. Against the defects of lack of supporting a dynamic, distributed and inter-organizational supply chain by present research, a six level grid workflow management system based on Agent was proposed.Second, the process management of providing a unified modeling, performance and monitoring environment for each type of internal and external business process of enterprises was studied, which includes analyzing and summarizing the present research on performance management. A process algorithm for automatic grid workflow modeling and a dynamic scheduling algorithm for grid workflow based on marketing strategy driving were proposed.Third, according to the requirements of the supply chain information system required to support the information transfer across organizational boundaries and all participants benefiting from the system, the author analyzed the advantages of grid technology in information system integration. The author also proposed forms of the supply chain information platform and the basic hierarchical structure based on the grid supply chain information system. The platform meets the needs of dynamic, distributed and cross-organizational for supply chain information system in practical application.Finally, a summarization is made. Weak points of the system in this paper and further efforts that should be made in future were briefly discussed.
