Intelligent framework for traceability of containerized goods

Abstract

In recent years, the work of research in the field of traceability is led to the development systems used to draw effectively the information on the level the supply chain. With a focus on the importance of the concept of the traceability, this article describes our proposal which is summarized in a smart based architecture the linkage of paradigm agent and semantic web while ensuring the traceability of containerized goods in a context of multimodal transport. The content is organized in the following way: the first part is devoted to a state of the art as regards the management of traceability in the supply chain. Then, we submitted our contribution and by which we have introduced the concepts MAS (Multi Agent System) and semantic web to assimilate properly our system i-TSCG (intelligent Traceability System Containerized Goods) composed of five layers. Thus, we chose the methodology MASE (Multi-Agent System Engineering) for the design and implementation of our system.
