A supply network is comprised of multiple heterogeneous subsystems gathered in a dynamic coalition to collaboratively provide an outcome. For a supply network to be effective in an open and competitive environment, it has to be scalable. An adaptive reconfiguration strategy is needed in order to respond effectively to the market changes, by dynamically creating and maintaining supply network’s organization. This paper presents a new taxonomy of configuration methods based on the agents’ social interaction, a brief critique of each method, and finally suggests an adaptive configuration strategy. The proposed strategy uses a combination of these methods by selecting the right interaction method that is suitable for each market situation.
