Abstract

Integrated-Logistics is an important trend of logistics. It is an effective way to reduce the cost of the supply-chain. The paper proposes an e-business Integrated-Logistics Model which was based on multi-agent and supported by Information Service Providers (ISP). The Model solves the problems of information sharing and business interoperability among enterprises by bringing in Logistics-ISP. It constitutes the architecture of Integrated-Logistics and models the basic business of logistics. Furthermore, based on this Model, we extend Knowledge Query and Manipulation Language (KQML), and design a message mechanism for Multi-Agent System (MAS), which can be used to describe the requirement of logistics business.
