A computer implemented system for inter-domain analysis is disclosed. The system includes a domain engine (,), associated with a first supply chain entity, having a local model representing a supply chain activity of the first supply chain entity. The domain engine (,) operable to generate a model agent (,) that represents a partial replica of the local model. The system also includes another domain engine (,), associated with a second supply chain entity, having a local model representing a supply chain activity of the second supply chain entity. The other domain engine is operable to generate a model agent representing a partial replica of the local model. The domain engines (,and,) further operate to expand the respective local models using the remote model agents (,) to accomplish local inter-domain analysis. In one embodiment, the model agents (,) can be data model agents, object model agents and behavior model agents.

System and process for inter-domain planning analysis and optimization using model agents as partial replicas of remote domains

A computer implemented system enables a global user interface. The system includes a plurality of application engines (,) and a user interface process (,). The system also includes a visual information broker (,) that has dynamically loadable adapters (,) where each adapter (,) is appropriate for accessing one of a plurality of types of engines. The visual information broker (,) can thereby interface between an engine interface (,) of an application engine (,) and the user interface process (,) by dynamically loading an adapter (,) appropriate for that type of engine. The computer system also can enable a global messaging bus. The system includes native messaging supported by a network messaging layer (,). A plurality of message bus manager processes (,) each include a dynamically loadable message bus adapter (,) and a message bus application program interface (,). The message bus manager processes (,) thereby enable global messaging between software applications (,) by adapting to the native message protocol of the network messaging layer (,).

System and process having a universal adapter framework and providing a global user interface and global messaging bus

A computer implemented system for inter-domain analysis is disclosed. The system includes a domain engine (234), associated with a first supply chain entity, having a local model representing a supply chain activity of the first supply chain entity. The domain engine (234) operable to generate a model agent (240) that represents a partial replica of the local model. The system also includes another domain engine (236), associated with a second supply chain entity, having a local model representing a supply chain activity of the second supply chain entity. The other domain engine is operable to generate a model agent representing a partial replica of the local model. The domain engines (234 and 236) further operate to expand the respective local models using the remote model agents (240) to accomplish local inter-domain analysis. In one embodiment, the model agents (240) can be data model agents, object model agents and behavior model agents.

System and process for inter-domain planning analysis and optimization

A computer implemented system and process enables inter-domain interaction. The system includes a native plane (292) that has a first native source (294) associated with a first domain and a second native source (296) associated with a second domain. The first and second native sources (294, 296) include domain related data and applications. The system also includes an inter-domain connectivity plane (298) that has a first domain engine (300) associated with the first domain, and a second domain engine (302) associated with the second domain. The first and second domain engines (300, 302) operate to perform domain analysis functions. The system further includes adapters associated with the first and second native sources (294, 296) where the adapters operate to abstract data and information from the first and second native sources (294, 296) onto the inter-domain connectivity plane (298). The first and second domain engines (300, 302) respectively receive data and information abstracted from the first and second native sources (294, 296). The first and second domain engines (300, 302) also operate to perform global messaging (306) between one another transparently supported by native messaging (308) on the native plane (292).
