Multi-agent System for Cloud Manufacturing Process Planning

Negotiation Process for Multi-Agent DSS for Manufacturing System

Agents and multi-agent systems constitute nowadays a very active field of research. This field is very multidisciplinary since it is sustained by Artificial Intelligence, Distributed Systems, Software Engineering, etc. In most agent applications, the autonomous components need to interact. They need to communicate in order to solve differences of opinion and conflicts of interest. They also nee...

Flexible Manufacturing Process Planning based on the Multi-agent Technology

Flexible manufacturing systems working in highly dynamic modern markets requires innovative concepts towards flexible management, production scheduling and planning. The agent-based technology provides a desired flexibility, supports a short reaction time and can underlie the required planning mechanismes. Moreover it does not require any centralized elements allowing a distributed implementati...

Multi-agent System for Process Planning in Step-nc Based Manufacturing

In order to realize STEP-NC-oriented computer numerical control machining and achieve optimal performance in manufacturing, a multi-agent system for process planning in STEP-NC based manufacturing was designed. By analyzing the characteristic of STEP-NC data model, a manufacturing feature-oriented process planning method was proposed in this study and the distributed artificial intelligence met...

Cloud manufacturing system

Cloud manufacturing is defined as a relationship between the consumer and a flexible array of production services, managed by an intervening architecture that can match service providers to product and manufacturing processes Cloud manufacturing definitions typically make explicit or imply three groups of actors: consumers, who request and use cloud manufacturing processes; application provider...
