Infrastructure for Virtual Enterprises in Large-Scale Open Systems

چکیده
This paper presents SALE, a middleware platform for mission-critical applications built upon the CORBA architecture and its extensions for real-time (RTCORBA), fault tolerance (FT-CORBA) and security (CORBASec). The SALE platform provides different reliability, security and real-time properties, which are specified by applications as quality of service (QoS) requirements. Preliminary results obtained through the implementation of this platform allow us to use it as an infrasctructure for business-to-business applications. This infrasctructure provides a multi-agent system for production scheduling of virtual enterprises, in which timing requirements must be enforced in order to execute a manufacturing process cooperatively.

Scheduling Problem of Virtual Cellular Manufacturing Systems (VCMS); Using Simulated Annealing and Genetic Algorithm based Heuristics
In this paper, we present a simulated annealing (SA) and a genetic algorithm (GA) based on heuristics for scheduling problem of jobs in virtual cellular manufacturing systems. A virtual manufacturing cell (VMC) is a group of resources that is dedicated to the manufacturing of a part family. Although this grouping is not reflected in the physical structure of the manufacturing system, but machin...

متن کاملA Hybrid Agent-Oriented Infrastructure for Modeling Manufacturing Enterprises
Manufacturing enterprises are now moving towards open architectures for integrating their activities with those of their suppliers and customers within wide supply chain networks. Traditional knowledge engineering approaches with large scale or very large scale knowledge bases are not suited for such widely distributed systems. Agent-based technology provides a natural way for resolving this pr...
متن کاملMobile Agent Support for Tracking Products in Virtual Enterprises
Mobile Agent systems appear to be a suitable approach for a large range of applications, differing in scale and construction. We are investigating the application of mobile agents within a Virtual Enterprise. Here, a promising idea is to map mobile agents to products and parts of products, which are moving across the enterprise. We identify certain advantages of this approach, like simplicity, ...
متن کاملSecure mobile agent system and its application in the trust building process of virtual enterprises
The paradigm of mobile agents may be used in large-scale distributed systems due to its flexibility that comes from the mobility notion. However, this promising technology brings some security concerns of its own. This paper focuses on mechanisms of the Mobile Agent Security Scheme – MASS – for protecting mobile agents against malicious platforms by considering large-scale systems. This propose...
