A system federates heterogeneous monitoring systems to provide end-to-end monitoring information for conveyances with item-layer visibility. A first node of the federated system comprises a first monitoring system and a first port and a second node comprises a second monitoring system and a second port. In parallel with a conveyance being transported between the first node and the second node, the first monitoring system sends an agent to the second monitoring system. The agent comprises logic and/or data necessary to implement processes on the second monitoring agent while the conveyance is at the second port. When the conveyance arrives at the second port, the second monitoring system executes the agent to determine conditions of the conveyance and/or its contents.

We claim: 1. A method of monitoring physical assets from nodes in heterogeneous monitoring systems, comprising the steps of: receiving an agent from a first node, the agent associated with a physical asset transported from the first node to a second node, the agent having logic to implement rules to determine the condition of the physical asset; detecting the physical asset; and executing the agent at the second node to determine a condition of the physical asset. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of receiving the agent comprises: receiving data associated with the physical asset upon receiving the agent. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the step of receiving the data comprises: receiving the agent from the first node, the agent having data comprising one from the group containing: location information, logistics information, physical information, security information, and environmental information. 4. The method of claim 1, farther comprising: generating the agent at the first node. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the physical asset comprises a conveyance. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the physical asset comprises an item. 7. A method of automatically monitoring conveyances and items from heterogeneous nodes in a global supply chain, comprising the steps of: receiving an agent from a first node, the agent comprising logic and data associated with a physical asset transported from the first node to a second node; detecting an identification of the physical asset from an automatic identification technology; executing the agent at the second node to determine a condition of the physical asset; and sending the condition to the first node. 8. A node within a plurality of nodes in heterogeneous monitoring systems to monitor physical assets, comprising: an agent identification module to detect the physical asset; and an agent execution module to receive an agent from an origin node, the agent associated with the physical asset transported from the origin node, the agent execution module executing the agent at the second node to determine a condition of the physical asset, wherein the agent comprises logic to implement rules to determine the condition of the physical asset. 9. The node of claim 8, wherein the agent comprises data associated with the physical asset. 10. The node of claim 9, wherein the data comprises one from the group containing: location information, logistics information, physical information, security information, and environmental information. 11. The node of claim 8, wherein the physical asset comprises a conveyance. 12. The node of claim 8, wherein the physical asset comprises an item. 13. A computer product, comprising: a computer-readable medium having computer program instructions and data embodied thereon for monitoring physical assets from nodes of heterogeneous monitoring systems, comprising the steps of: receiving an agent from a first node, the agent associated with a physical asset transported from the first node to a second node, the agent having logic to implement rules to determine the condition of the physical asset; detecting the physical asset; and executing the agent at the second node to determine a condition of the physical asset. 14. The computer product of claim 13, wherein the step of receiving the agent comprises: receiving data associated with the physical asset upon receiving the agent. 15. The computer product of claim 14, wherein the step of receiving the data comprises: receiving the agent from the first node, the agent having data comprising one from the group containing: location information, logistics information, physical information, security information, and environmental information. 16. The computer product of claim 13, wherein the physical asset comprises a conveyance. 17. The computer product of claim 15, wherein the physical asset comprises an item.
