Introduces the concept of service-oriented agile logistics and presents a generic apparatus for the design of such systems. An analysis of future communication-based logistics leads to the logistic control and engineering system SERVICES. The logistic system is conceived as a "society" of interacting "self-responsible intelligent service-producing actors", where services or functions are taken as the system-base. This means that, instead of working with process-modules, the development of a service-oriented information-system primarily works with service-modules that program the operational interaction between client, service-producer and possibly sub-contracted service-producers. From this the supporting execution-control in the context of the service-producing units can be deduced. A case study of a high-performance deep-sea container terminal is given. This shows that the function-programming system of SERVICES is generic, adequate and effective and that it favours distributed control.
