SELF-ORGANIZING SUPPLY NETWORKS - Autonomous Agent Coordination based on Expectations

Abstract

Supply networks are faced with the contradictory requirements of achieving high operational eciency while retaining the ability to adapt to a changing environment. Decentralized approaches representing logistics entities by autonomous artificial agents must therefore be enabled to structure and operate supply networks efficiently according to the domain’s inherent dynamics caused, for instance, by changing customer demands and network participants entering or leaving the system. In this paper, a novel approach to self- organization for multiagent systems is presented, avoiding a priori assumptions of agent characteristics by generating expectations from observable behavior.
