Enterprise Logistics Optimization under the Circumstance of E-commerce through the Multi-agent Systems

Although modern logistics networks (LNs) plays a major role in effectively cutting the cost of enterprise, studies that deal specifically with the dynamics of logistics networks are few, which is very common in circumstance of e-commerce. In order to provide a vehicle for dynamic modeling and analysis of logistics networks operations in vague and uncertain environments, we present our ongoing work on developing a multi-agent model for intra-organizational logistics management and using Lagrangian relaxation to decompose the problem into a set of subproblems.
