Abstract
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.
