The growth of world population, limitation of resources, economic problems, and environmental issues force engineers to develop increasingly efficient solutions for logistic systems. Pure optimization for efficiency, however, has often led to technical solutions that are vulnerable to variations...

Nowadays the complexity of logistics is a buzzword spreading in business, media and everyday practice. However, the study of logistics networks from the point of view of complex dynamical systems theory has started only recently. In the past decade, physicists have been more and more interested...
