A multi-agent and case-based reasoning framework for knowledge sharing in supply chain

Focusing on the specific properties of knowledge sharing in supply chain, this paper explores a framework that integrates the multi-agent and case-based reasoning techniques to support the dynamic and problem-oriented knowledge sharing among supply chain members. The framework is characterized by differential knowledge sharing levels related to supply chain partnership as well as the knowledge creation and reuse based on the previous knowledge in supply chain. It provides a new tool for the field of inter-organizational knowledge management.
