First Claim
1. A computer implemented system for inter-domain analysis related to a supply chain activity, comprising:
- a first domain engine associated with a first supply chain entity,the first domain engine having a first domain model representing a supply chain activity of the first supply chain entity; and
the first domain engine operable to generate a first model agent that represents a partial replica of the first domain model; and
a second domain engine associated with a second supply chain entity,the second domain engine having a second domain model representing a supply chain activity of the second supply chain entity; and
the second domain engine operable to generate a second model agent representing a partial replica of the second domain model;
the first domain engine further operable to expand the first domain model using the second model agent to accomplish inter-domain analysis related to the supply chain activity at the first domain engine; and
the second domain engine further operable to expand the second domain model using the first model agent to accomplish inter-domain analysis related to the supply chain activity at the second domain engine.

Abstract
A computer implemented system for inter-domain analysis is disclosed. The system includes a domain engine (234), associated with a first supply chain entity, having a local model representing a supply chain activity of the first supply chain entity. The domain engine (234) operable to generate a model agent (240) that represents a partial replica of the local model. The system also includes another domain engine (236), associated with a second supply chain entity, having a local model representing a supply chain activity of the second supply chain entity. The other domain engine is operable to generate a model agent representing a partial replica of the local model. The domain engines (234 and 236) further operate to expand the respective local models using the remote model agents (240) to accomplish local inter-domain analysis. In one embodiment, the model agents (240) can be data model agents, object model agents and behavior model agents.
