Abstract
Principles of design, development and evolution of distributed systems in several disparate domains are reviewed in this paper with the objective of shedding new light on control design in the domain of logistic systems for production, transportation, etc. The spectrum of available organizational structures is reviewed and the case is made for choosing heterarchical structures. Then, principles for designing control systems and building and evolving organizations with heterarchical structures are reviewed. Finally, the design of web services is reviewed, providing another set of principles that are expected to be useful for designing heterarchical controls for dynamic logistic systems.
