ALP uses a flexible object model. So they use around 20 classes called prototypes. Are there any objects that can hoist. Cluster A can allocate tasks but it is Cluster B s business how you do execute them. So far they have only modeled a little of the logistics domain.
Clusters are a unit of planning.
The focus this year is to provide feedback with reporting like, the best I can do is X with two days late cost. So you need human intervention. Right now clusters are hard-wired with physical location and plugins. In the future, you want to dynamically allocate plugins and allow clusters to migrate along with mobile battilion so DBMSs move with the troops. ALP has a lot in common with agent technology standards.
