Abstract
Supply Chains have troubles with siwftly adapting to the changing surrounding environment. Because competition is transitioning from among individual companies to among supply networks, visibility of inter-organizational information is critical for rapid response. Information visibility is a key to a successful coordination of events across the network, monitoring analytics that track the health of it and allowing for proactive action. In this paper we propose a multi-agent based approach for dynamic generation of integration services using Enterprise Tomography to index and generate delta trees that can semantically represent accumulative changes in the system and allow for a generative response. Real time availability of information to all members of an SCM System enables them to be agile and in the best position to react quickly, efficiently and collectively to the changing market; permitting them to translate this advantage into better decisions.
