Abstract

The increasing dependency in the maritime transportation platforms brings into the spot the reliability aspect in container terminals (CT). In this paper agent’s technology integrated with decision support process in CT complex system. It is used to build intelligence in the containers as to manage the risk at its different levels. In this paper we address the containers control as a system where decision making is distributed among the various components especially the containers carrying dangerous materials. The multi-agent modeling is well suited to represent the complexity as a distributed system. The proposed model based on a complex process which targeting the highly risked containers based on multi agents’ systems and intelligent environment called CTRMS: Container Terminal Risk Management System. Diversity of communities and emergence play a major role in this approach. In this paper we define the CT environment as complex adaptive system (CAS) with respect to some CAS properties and mechanisms as aggregation and tagging in CT. The originality of our approach lies in the proposed new mechanisms for reasoning and coordination of agents in which we put special emphasis on the mechanisms of decision making for dynamic and autonomous system components.
