Abstract
The concept of autonomous control requires on one hand logistic objects that are able to receive local information, process these information, and make a decision about their next action. On the other hand, the logistic structure has to provide distributed information about local states and different alternatives to enable decisions generally. These features will be made possible through the development of Ubiquitous Computing technologies (Fleisch et al. 2003).
