		<pub:abstract><![CDATA[This paper describes an ongoing effort in developing a Multiagent System (MAS) for supply chain management. In our framework, functional agents can join in, stay, or leave the
system. The Supply Chain Management System (SCMS)
functionality is implemented through agent-based negotiation.
When an order arrives, a virtual supply chain may emerge from
the system through automated or semi-automated negotiation
processes between functional agents. We present our
framework and describe a number of negotiation performatives,
which can be used to construct pair-wise and third party
negotiation protocols for functional agent cooperation. We also
explain how to formally model the negotiation process by using
Colored Petri Nets (CPN) and we provide an example of
establishing a virtual chain by solving a distributed constraint
satisfaction problem.]]></pub:abstract>
