Abstract:
Dynamics in logistics are a subject of increasing importance in logistic processes. The more detailed dynamics are considered, the more complicated it becomes to handle them in centralized planning. Therefore, decentralized approaches with autonomous cooperating entities might become more efficient.
This paper introduces some aspects of decentralized approaches, mainly focusing on the process of information acquisition which enables the autonomous entities to decide about the handling of routes and orders.
