Many new technologies - like RFID, GPS, and sensor networks -
that dominate innovative developments in logistics are based on the
idea of autonomous cooperation and control. This
self-organisational concept describes ...processes of decentralized
decision-making in heterarchical structures. It presumes
interacting elements in non-deterministic systems, which possess
the capability and possibility to render decisions. The objective
of autonomous cooperation and control is the achievement of
increased robustness and positive emergence of the total system due
to distributed and flexible coping with dynamics and complexity"
(Hulsmann & Windt, 2007). In order to underlie these
technology-driven developments with a fundamental theoretical
foundation this edited volume asks for contributions and
limitations of applying the principles of autonomous cooperation
and control to logistics processes and systems. It intends to
identify, describe, and explain - in the context of production and
distribution logistics - the effects on performance and robustness,
the enablers and impediments for the feasibility, the essential
cause-effect-relations, etc. of concepts, methods, technologies,
and routines of autonomous cooperation and control in logistics.
Therefore, the analyses collected in this edited volume aim to
develop a framework for finding the optimal degree as well as the
upper and lower boundaries of autonomous cooperation and control of
logistics processes from the different perspectives of production
technology, electronics and communication engineering, informatics
and mathematics, as well as management sciences and economics.
