Popis:	Present evolution of logistics networks is characterized by a progressive increase of the network complexity and the opportunity of organizing management structures composed by local decision-makers (usually denoted “agents”). As much the system complexity and the number of intelligent agents grow, as much the system response uncertainty seems to grow also: this suggests to have greater attention to the agents autonomy and responsibility. Present paper first aims to verify if the increasing complexity of actual logistics systems is going to allow a greater and greater autonomy to individual agents.
