With the advent of web technologies the supply logistics in industry received a boost in what is nowadays called eSupply, Supply Chain Management, or - even more appropriate — Supply Net Management (SNM). In this contribution research in this domain is motivated by sketching the complexity of SNM especially in automotive industry and by showing up possible pathways into a visionary future. Then essentially two current research tracks in Daimler-Chrysler R&T are addressed, namely (1) supply net configuration, simulation and assessment, and (2) distributed supply net planning. In both domains agent technology is used, partly together with other AI techniques.
