Abstract: AbstractIn recognition of the increasing importance of rapidly changing needs and opportunities, today's global markets require interoperability to integrate diverse logistics processes to share information and collaborate among logistics partners. The multi-agents system provides a promising computing paradigm for efficient logistics service response and integration of logistics service processes. This paper discusses an approach to designing an integrated logistic system based on multi-agents. A framework of an integrated logistics process is proposed. A prototype based on the proposed framework is implemented using ZEUS toolkit. It presents how the proposed integrated architecture can be used to establish collaborative logistics business environment by providing dynamic processes services.
