Abstract :
Due to fast development of e-commerce, logistics, network and cloud computing, many businesses have changed their traditional production and sale patterns. This brings big opportunities and challenges to logistics. Among the process of logistics, delivery is a key issue. This paper mainly focuses on logistics scheduling based on cloud business workflows. A constrained Dijkstra algorithm is proposed to select an optimal route for logistics transportation with various parameters. We then put forward a distribution logistics scheduling algorithm to solve tracking large numbers of expresses based on business workflows. The simulation indicates the effectiveness of our two novel algorithms.
