Study on service-oriented modeling techniques in coordination procurement of cluster supply chain

As productive forces developing rapidly, “cluster supply chain” is proposed as a new management pattern to help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) win in the increasingly fierce competition. Facing complex requirements, it is necessary to build an IT system to support them. Modeling is the basic and the most important part in building a system. This paper combines the advantages of agent and Web service based on the common ground between them. According to certain rules, agent models map to Web service models to complete enterprise collaborative modeling in cluster supply chain.
