This paper describes the application of distributed discrete event simulation in the study of an automated container terminal. The new model was developed to continue the study of large and complex logistic systems. In a previous study, a stand-alone model of the terminal was used that included all the characteristics of container handling between the ships and the container stack. A new distri...
