Abstract: This paper is to present an architecture for supply chain coordination by integration workflow and agents technologies. In this framework, workflow processes are defined by configuration workflow specifications from the user in XML conforming to a workflow.dtd. The software agents are employed to fulfill the specified workflow tasks. The result is to provide a flexible, configurable and coordinated approach to achieve efficient and cost-effective management across the entire supply chain.
