    <pub:abstract><![CDATA[A supply chain is a network of suppliers, factories, warehouses, distribution centers and retailers, through which raw materials are
acquired, transformed, produced and delivered to the customer. A
supply chain management system (SCMS) manages the
cooperation of these system components. In the computational
world, roles of individual entities in a supply chain can be
implemented as distinct agents. The functions and procedures of
a company in the real market are complicated and include
information collection, policy making and actions. Therefor, it is
impossible to describe software agent behaviors for an uncertain
e-commerce environment such as supply chain management in
the traditional single threaded model. To solve the problem, we
introduce the concept of negotiation into software agent design
for supply chain management and present our ideas to solve the
problem of communication and decision-making for negotiating
agents.
