Autonomous control of logistic processes is proposed as a means for enterprises to better face dynamics and complexity, caused e.g. by globalization. This conference contribution will first briefly sketch the idea of autonomous control of logistic processes. Second it will discuss existing modelling approaches on the basis of requirements to a suitable method and subsequently will outline our modelling method designed for engineering of autonomous logistic processes. The third part will detail the transformation of conceptual models constructed by using this method into a simulation on the basis of an industrial case study. Moreover some results of simulation studies will be presented and discussed. The paper is concluded by a summary and an outlook on future work.
