چکیده
According to the new tendencies in marketplace, such as the growth and spread of e-commerce and e-business, Supply chains and Logistics are naturally being modeled as distributed systems. Companies are organized as Demand and Supply network and the global logistics system is performed by a large-scale world-wide network of local service enterprises. Referring to such scenario, multiagents and operations research approaches in modelling classical and new complex problems are reviewed and illustrated. Operation Research techniques for centralized optimization are discussed with reference to classical resource allocation and workflow problems.
