Specifying Self-organising Logistics System: Openness, Intelligence, and Decentralised Control
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper contributes to the development of a novel paradigm in logistics, i.e. self-organising logistics system (SoLS). A SoLS can be considered as a logistics system that can function without significant intervention by human, and without central control by software. It is functioning based on contextual local interactions. By such definition, SoLS could be a powerful solution to manage nowadays logistics that is much larger and complex than ever before. The goal of this paper is to provide a comprehensive and in-depth discussion to specify expected advantages and functionalities of SoLS, supported by some recent emerging concepts and technologies. The paper also attempts to provide a theoretical framework for the future work.

A feedback-based decentralised coordination model for distributed open real-time systems
Moving towards autonomous operation and management of increasingly complex open distributed real-time systems poses very significant challenges. This is particularly true when reaction to events must be done in a timely and predictable manner while guaranteeing Quality of Service (QoS) constraints imposed by users, the environment, or applications. In these scenarios, the system should be able ...
متن کاملNeural Networks: an Exploratory Data Analysis of Logistics Performance
Neural networks are a data processing technique that provides us a powerful tool to handle non-linear data and model complex relationships between data. Self-organising maps, a type of neural networks, has been used successfully as an exploratory data analysis method in applications like presenting the welfare states of the countries or analysing and representing financial data. Logistics inclu...
متن کاملDesign Patterns for Decentralised Coordination in Self-organising Emergent Systems
There is little or no guidance to systematically design a self-organising emergent solution that achieves the desired macroscopic behaviour. This paper describes decentralised coordination mechanisms such as gradient fields as design patterns, similar to patterns used in mainstream software engineering. As a consequence, a structured consolidation of best practice in using each coordination mec...
متن کامل0 M ar 2 00 6 Decentralised control of material or traffic flows in networks using phase - synchronisation
We present a self-organising, decentralised control method for material flows in networks. The concept applies to networks where time sharing mechanisms between conflicting flows in nodes are required and where a coordination of these local switches on a system-wide level can improve the performance. We show that, under certain assumptions, the control of nodes can be mapped to a network of pha...
