Abstract: The computational complexity of scheduling and decision on Container Terminal Logistics Systems (CTLS) have continued to move up with the development of port and shipping industry.Thereupon the optimal solution even the satisfactory solution of high quality for CTLS are difficult to obtain.Furthermore,the existing models and dependent algorithms usually have the limitation of poor universality,portability and extendibility.To solve these problems,a logistics computation for CTLS based on computational thinking and computational lens was defined.The design philosophy and operating principles of Operating Systems and Virtual Machines (OSVM) in the field of computer science were introduced to present the logistics computing architecture of Container Terminal Collection and Distribution Virtual Machines (CTCDVM) and the computing switch fabric of underlying Container Logistics Computing Engine Array (CLCEA) explicitly.The computational models of CTCDVM and CLCEA were designed and realized based on the operational instance of an international container hub terminal,and groups of computational experiments were executed and evaluated.Consequently,the feasibility and creditability of the CTCDVM computing architecture was tested and verified from the multidimensional perspectives.
