“…Contractual coordination generally follows the logic of transaction cost economics and aims at legally distributing financial incentives and other rights between parties before project work is started (Williamson, 1979;Sobrero and Schrader, 1998;Simatupang et al, 2002). Usually the organization's top management determines the contractual coordination mechanisms to be applied (Sobrero and Schrader, 1998).…”

Structured abstract:Purpose -The study compares the coordination of supply chain networks in contractually different complex construction projects. Design/methodology/approach -A comparative case study of the coordination of collaborative work in two successful hospital construction projects was conducted. One of the projects applied multiple dyadic contracts, whereas the other project applied one multiparty contract between the parties. The projects were located in the USA. Data was collected by observing the coordination on the construction sites for six weeks and by conducting 72 interviews. Findings -The paper shows that depending on the contract type, the timing and extent of complementary procedural coordination differs during projects. Compared with one multiparty contract, the multiple dyadic contracts needed to be complemented during the design phase with three additional procedural coordination mechanisms: 1) organizational design, 2) processes for collaborative work, and 3) integrated concurrent engineering sessions. Additionally, common rules of conduct were taken into use during the construction phase. However, regardless of the contract type, procedural coordination mechanisms, such as colocated working, collaborative decision making in inter-organizational meetings, a liaison role, and shared project goals were needed throughout the projects. Practical implications -If multiple dyadic contracts are applied, procedural coordination mechanisms have to be co-created by all supply chain parties at the beginning of the project. Originality/value -The study provides understanding on successful contractual and complementary procedural coordination mechanisms of supply chain networks in complex construction projects.

“…We have also ignored the possible impact of external subsidies allowing agents to cooperate even when the core is empty [10,16,33,56,57,65,66]. Certain supply chains provide critical products, and governments subsidise many supply chains [70,73], so this is also an important direction for future work.…”

We introduce Transformation Games (TGs), a form of coalitional game in which players are endowed with sets of initial resources, and have capabilities allowing them to derive certain output resources, given certain input resources. The aim of a TG is to generate a particular target resource; players achieve this by forming a coalition capable of performing a sequence of transformations from a combined set of initial resources to the target resource. TGs can model a number of natural settings, such as cooperative proof systems, where a collection of agents having different expertise work together to derive a proof for a target theorem, or supply chains, where agents cooperate to create a target product from base resources. After presenting the TG model, and discussing its interpretation, we consider possible restrictions on the transformation chain, resulting in different coalitional games. Following the basic model, we consider the computational complexity of several problems in TGs, such as testing whether a coalition wins, checking if a player is a dummy or a veto player, computing the core of the game, computing power indices, and checking the effects of possible restrictions on the coalition. Finally, we consider extensions to the model in which transformations have associated costs. This is an extended version of a conference paper with the same title [21], which was presented at the 35th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2010), in Brno, Czech Republic. This new version contains additional results regarding computing the Shapley value in Transformation Games as well as additional results on Transformation Games with a bounded number of resources and transformations. We have also expanded our examination of how the Transformation Game model can capture multiagent interactions in both supply chains and proof systems, and included revised and extended proofs.

“…A supply chain comprises interdependent units within a firm and across units that belong to both downstream and upstream partners [9]. Given the nature of the interdependence between units, mobile real-time coordination is a necessary prerequisite to integrate their operations to achieve the mutual goal of the supply chain as a whole as well as those of its units [10].…”

With the emergence of high speed wireless networks and parallel advancements in Internet based technologies such as the Semantic Web, Web Services, Multi Agent Systems, and Context Awareness, the realization of the vision of the intelligent wireless web (IWW) has become a possibility. On the other side, recent developments in the field of multi criteria decision making, have led us to more accurate and applicable algorithms. In this paper, we are going to summarize the details and results of a multidisciplinary agent based software, namely SWESS that enables real-time supply chain coordination through taking advantage of different methods of different scientific areas such as computer science, supply chain management and multi criteria decision making.
