Risk Management in Dynamic Logistic Systems by Agent Based Autonomous Objects

  • Conference paper
Dynamics in Logistics

Abstract

Intelligent logistic objects with the ability of autonomous control are a possibility to face new challenges in dynamic logistic systems. On the other hand autonomy of logistic entities poses new questions to the underlying logistic system. In this paper we will focus on the possibilities of reducing the objective and subjective drawbacks of autonomy in logistics by an autonomous risk management for the logistic entity. A technical solution based on intelligent agent technology will be presented.
