Abstract

Complex Adaptive System (CAS) approach is well suited for modelling supply chain system with structural and behavioural dynamics. This paper proposes to apply those relative works to study storage activities in a warehouse of dangerous goods. The warehouse is then viewed as a CAS and the physical persons are modelled by a Multi-Agent system, MAS. The goal is to study how reactive agents are able to maintain a segregation strategy and to propose a research direction to simulate accidents and then to develop further risk management strategies.
