Autonomous Cooperation and Control in Logistics Contributions and Li
Many new technologies – like RFID, GPS, and sensor networks – that dominate innovative developments in logistics are based on the idea of autonomous cooperation and control. This self-organisational concept describes „...processes of decentralized decisio

Preface
The edited volume “Autonomous Cooperation and Control in Logistics: Contributions and Limitations – Theoretical and Practical Perspectives” consequently continues the previous publication “Understanding Autonomous Cooperation and Control in Logistics – The Impact of Autonomy on Management, Information, Communication, and Material Flow”, edited by Michael Hülsmann and Katja Windt. This first volume focuses on collating various understandings of self-organisation. It intends to establish a common perspective on basic ideas and their adoption and adaptability to logistics. Additionally, that publication identifies and compares the scope and depth of autonomous cooperation and control resulting from various, interdisciplinary understandings of self-organisation. Therefore, the first edited volume aims for developing a conceptual system for autonomous cooperation and control, which allows to interpret discipline-specifically, to functionalise, and to apply autonomous cooperation and control in the context of logistic systems. It is dedicated to provide logistics research as well as practice with first impulses for answering the question how logistics management can
