Research on logistics domain-oriented cloud resource management model and architecture

To address the challenges posed by resource shortage or surplus to enterprises productivity, Internet platforms have been widely used, which can balance shortage and surplus in broader environments. However, the existing resource management models lack openness, sharing ability and scalability, which make it difficult for many heterogeneous resources to co-exist in the same system. It is also difficult to resolve the conflicts between distributed self-management and centralized scheduling in the system. This paper analyzes the characteristics of resources in the distributed environment and proposes a new resource management architecture by considering the resource aggregation capacity of cloud computing. The architecture includes a universal resource scheduling optimization model which has been applied successfully in double-district multi-ship-scheduling multi-container-yard empty containers transporting of international shipping logistics. Applications in all these domains prove that this new resource management architecture is feasible and can achieve the expected effect.
