Architecture-Centric Development of an AGV Transportation System

چکیده
Architectural design plays a key role in software engineering. The software architecture is the backbone of the designed solution, it has the functional requirements of the system and satisfies the quality requirements. In our research, we put forward situated multiagent systems (situated MAS) as an approach to build distributed applications with demanding quality requirements such as flexibility and openness. In this paper we illustrate how we apply situated MAS to an Automatic Guided Vehicle (AGV) transportation system. We discuss the high-level structure of the software architecture and explain how the architecture aims to meet important quality requirements.

Architectural Design of a Situated Multiagent System for AGV Control 1 Architectural Design of a Situated Multiagent System for Controlling Automatic Guided Vehicles
Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are fully automated vehicles that are able to transport goods in an industrial environment. To cope with new and future system requirements such as flexibility and openness, we have applied a situated multiagent system to developed a decentralized control architecture for AGV transportation systems. In this paper, we give an overview of the software architecture...

This paper focuses on the design of a highly efficient Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) transportation system. Therefore, we attempt to construct detailed system management models that include agent cooperation, container storage scheduling, and container transportation planning. We then optimally design systems that are constructed with the use of these management models. The systems are compare...

متن کاملExperiences with Theme/UML for Architectural Design of a Multiagent System
In a recent R&D project, our research group developed an industrial AGV transportation system using a multiagent system (MAS). The software architecture of this system is modeled using several architectural views. In this paper, we study an alternative way of structuring of the architectural description using Theme/UML. Theme/UML is an aspect-oriented design approach that provides support for a...

In pursuit of flexible and agile automation within the domain of discrete manufacturing, a paint-shop with its surrounding logistics and handling processes is under construction as a laboratory prototype application. Holonic Manufacturing is argued to be a promising strategic paradigm and architecture to use for a system characterized by flexible production logistics and control. This paper des...
