The paper gives an insight into trends and solutions based on intelligent agent paradigm in logistics domain. Three kinds of systems are described: single agents constituting multi-agent systems, holonic systems and multi-multi-agent systems. Single agents and multiagent systems are used in various applications, holons mainly are designed for transportation scheduling while multi-multi-agent systems are the most suitable for supply chain management. The prototype of simulation tool based on holonic agents has been developed and used to simulate four different types of auctions.
