Agent-based and Discrete Event Simulation of Autonomous Logistic Processes
نویسندگان
چکیده
The current trends and recent changes in logistics lead to new, complex and partially conflicting requirements on logistic planning and control systems. Currently available strategies and methodologies do not address these new requirements sufficiently. The concept of autonomous logistic processes intends to overcome these drawbacks together with latest information and communication technologies. Their analysis and design is subject to simulation studies. Two simulation systems for the analysis of autonomy in logistics with an agent-based and a discrete event approach are presented. Both systems are designed and suitable for different aspects of autonomous logistic processes.

متن کاملModelling Dynamics of Autonomous Logistic Processes: Discrete-event versus Continuous Approaches
For developing and benchmarking autonomous logistic processes, dynamic models are essential. The paper investigates two different modelling approaches regarding their abilities to describe an exemplary scenario – an autonomously controlled shop floor. A discrete-event simulation model is compared to a continuous System Dynamics model. An autonomous control strategy is developed and its effectiv...
متن کاملMethodology for Discrete Event Modeling/Simulation of Mobile Agent Systems
A mobile agent is an autonomous software agent capable of moving from one computer to another while performing its tasks. We view the agent as a discrete event system in the view of its computation and communication. This paper presents a methodology for modeling and simulation of such a mobile agent system as a discrete event system. The methodology is based on the Mobile Discrete Event System...
