Multi-agent Simulation of the Resource Conversion Processes with the Sample Application to the Logistical Problem

The paper focuses on the problem of the logistical department of the hardware stores chain that is related to the delivery route planning, effective load of transportation vehicles, and decreasing of the idle time while loading at the warehouse. Thus, an actual problem is identification and application of the new principles for building and analysis of the multi-agent models of the resource conversion processes. The method for multi-agent delivery planning and the vehicle loading is based on the dynamic programming.
