Today's global economy is characterized by changing market demands, short product lifecycles, and fine-grained customization. This context demands a capability to identify promising supply chain partners and adapt existing relationships in response to dynamic conditions. One major impediment is the multiplicity of considerations that bear on supply chain decisions. For example, a material supply contract might specify price, quantity, delivery time and mode, quality, warranty, and many other features. Most of today's auction systems support one-dimensional negotiations where price and quantity are the only features determined dynamically. This project aims to support negotiation over many attributes in dynamic, multilevel supply chains. To this end, it will develop flexible languages for expressing multiattribute offers, general two-sided matching mechanisms supporting both iterative and one-shot negotiation, and real-time decision support based on summarized assessments of production states. The new techniques will be validated using an agent-based supply chain simulation testbed, as well as analytical models. The resulting methods will enable a future where companies routinely form and adapt supply chain relationships for a broad range of productive activities. The systemic ability to respond dynamically to changing conditions can ultimately lower costs, while delivering greater value through increased customization and responsiveness to novel opportunities.

当今全球经济的特点是不断变化的市场需求、较短的产品生命周期和细粒度的定制。这种情况下，需要有能力确定有前途的供应链合作伙伴，并调整现有的关系，以应对动态条件。一个主要障碍是影响供应链决策的考虑因素的多样性。例如，材料供应合同可能会指定价格，数量，交货时间和方式，质量，保修和许多其他特征。今天的拍卖系统大多支持一维谈判，其中价格和数量是动态确定的唯一特征。该项目的目的是支持在动态的，多层次的供应链的许多属性的谈判。为此，它将开发用于表达多属性报价的灵活语言，支持迭代和一次性谈判的一般双边匹配机制，以及基于生产状态汇总评估的实时决策支持。新技术将使用基于代理的供应链模拟测试平台以及分析模型进行验证。由此产生的方法将使未来的公司经常形成和适应供应链关系的广泛的生产活动。动态响应不断变化的条件的系统能力最终可以降低成本，同时通过增加定制和对新机会的响应来提供更大的价值。
