DSOPP:An intelligent platform for distributed simulation of order promising protocols in supply chain networks

Abstract This paper describes the DSOPP platform being built at Dalhousie University to simulate intelligent order promising protocols using an agent-based approach. The unique feature of this platform is that it supports order promising in a distributed network with several decision making stages, each representing a supply chain network. Moreover, promising of orders in each of the stages is based on optimization. The platform will be used to compare and contrast several different order promising protocols.
