Abstract: This paper proposes the concept of an intelligent logistics system (ILS) in the context of the Internet of Things (IoT), expounds the characteristics of the ILS, and constructs a logical framework of the ILS based on the IoT. In the dynamic IoT environment, in order to obtain a highly satisfied logistics service, a locally optimal choice of logistics service selection scheme is proposed. This scheme uses the traditional web service combination idea to solve the intelligent logistics service problem. First, model and calculate the Quality of Service (QoS) attributes in logistics, and then select an atomic solution with the best utility value from each logistics sub-process, perform service composition and execute. The feasibility and effectiveness of the model and algorithm under this scheme are verified by experiments.
