- Abstract: Trade disruptions, the pandemic, and the Ukraine war over the past years have
adversely affected global supply chains, revealing their vulnerability.
Autonomous supply chains are an emerging topic that has gained attention in
industry and academia as a means of increasing their monitoring and robustness.
While many theoretical frameworks exist, there is only sparse work to
facilitate generalisable technical implementation. We address this gap by
investigating multi-agent system approaches for implementing autonomous supply
chains, presenting an autonomous economic agent-based technical framework. We
illustrate this framework with a prototype, studied in a perishable food supply
chain scenario, and discuss possible extensions.

setting: a decentralised approach [69.62333053044712]
We propose the use of explainable artificial intelligence for decentralised computing of estimated contributions to a metric of interest.
This approach mitigates the need to convince supply chain actors to share data, as all computations occur in a decentralised manner.
Results demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in detecting the source of quality variations compared to a centralised approach.

Weak Supervision (WS) frameworks synthesize training labels from multiple potentially noisy supervision sources.
We formulate Weak Indirect Supervision (WIS), a new research problem for automatically synthesizing training labels.
We develop a probabilistic modeling approach, PLRM, which uses user-provided label relations to model and leverage indirect supervision sources.

chain automation [71.77396882936951]
Agent-based supply chains have been proposed since early 2000; industrial uptake has been lagging.
We find that agent-based technology has matured, and other supporting technologies that are penetrating supply chains are filling in gaps.
For example, the ubiquity of IoT technology helps agents "sense" the state of affairs in a supply chain and opens up new possibilities for automation.
