Scalable Enterprise Systems Phase II: Agent Based Scalable Enterprise System for Enterprise Co-design

这个可扩展企业系统奖的目标是创建一个基于代理的框架，用于模拟产品设计，营销和供应链的协作过程。该项目将开发支持其实现所需的使能理论和技术。该框架将使用模拟人类行为的计算代理，模拟合成经济的人工代理和建设性代理来解决模拟产品生命周期中的战略，战术和运营决策问题。这些代理使用分析模型和自适应算法，如通用算法，模糊逻辑和神经网络。这些智能体将在这些模拟中使用创新的市场隐喻（如拍卖和推荐系统）竞争提供解决方案。研究任务包括需求分析、初步功能分析、方法开发、初始原型设计、测试和框架规范。如果成功，这项研究将使组织能够与不断变化的市场和不断变化的客户价值保持一致并专注于此。拟议的协同设计框架将测试必要的策略，以确保产品交付过程，产品开发过程和营销活动是一致的，以同时解决客户价值的多个方面。研究结果将应用于融合技术的供应链建模和电子带宽交换业务模型的开发。该原型将用于支持经济和管理的几门课程的教学。

The objective of this Scalable Enterprise Systems award is the creation of an agent-based framework for the simulation of product design, marketing and supply-chain as collaborative processes. This project will develop the enabling theories and technologies needed to support its realization. The framework will use computational agents modeling the human behavior, artificial agents modeling synthetic economies, and constructive agents to address strategic, tactical and operational decision-making problems in simulating product life cycle. These agents use both analytic models and adaptive algorithms such as generic algorithms, fuzzy logic, and neural networks. The agents will compete to provide solutions in these simulations using innovative market metaphors such as auctions and recommendation systems. The research tasks include requirements analysis, preliminary functional analysis, methodology development, initial prototyping, testing, and specifications for the framework. If successful, this research will allow organizations to become aligned to and focused on to changing markets and changing customer values. The proposed collaborative design framework will test strategies necessary to ensure that the product delivery process, the product development process, and marketing initiatives are aligned to address the multiple dimensions of customer values simultaneously. The results will apply in the modeling of the supply chain for convergence technologies and the development of business models for electronic bandwidth exchange. The prototype will be used to support teaching in several courses in Economics and Management.
