Temperature Equilibrium in Multi-Agent Manufacturing Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper explores some ideas on the maintenance of load equilibrium in a multi-agent manufacturing system, using concepts such as Temperature, Relative Heat and Latent Heat. The material presented here is based on work done as part of the international project on Holonic Manufacturing Systems. Furthermore, the paper investigates the nature of agent cooperation and examines whether a simple coordination domain infrastructure is sufficient to support a plethora of pragmatic interaction paradigms. This cooperation provides a resilient and stable operational environment.

Reducing Retrieval Time in Automated Storage and Retrieval System with a Gravitational Conveyor Based on Multi-Agent Systems
The main objective of this study is to reduce the retrieval time of a list of products by choosing the best combination of storage and retrieval rules at any time. This is why we start by implementing some storage rules in an Automated Storage/Retrieval System (Automated Storage and Retrieval System: AS/RS) fitted with a gravity conveyor while some of these rules are dedicated to storage and ot...
متن کاملA Game-Theoretic Analysis of Multi-Agent Systems for Shop Floor Routing
In recent years, the desire for a more robust basis for coordination in manufacturing environments has motivated research into agent-based approaches to manufacturing scheduling and control. We have been developing a series of such multi-agent systems inspired by models of social insect behavior for the problem of dynamic shop floor routing. To date, all of our results have been empirical in te...
متن کاملMetaMorph: An Adaptive Agent-Based Architecture for Intelligent Manufacturing
Global competition and rapidly changing customer requirements are forcing major changes in the production styles and configuration of manufacturing organizations. Traditional centralised manufacturing systems are not able to meet such requirements. This paper proposes an agent-based approach for dynamically creating and managing agent communities in such widely distributed and ever-changing man...
متن کاملA Layered Manufacturing System Architecture Supported with Semantic Agents Capabilities
Manufacturing control systems are a mission-critical application domain for semantic agents systems. While multi-agent systems have been explored in the manufacturing systems domain, there is very little work on semantically enabled agent systems. This chapter introduces a layered architecture for manufacturing systems based on agent systems and discusses relevant capabilities of the semantic a...
متن کاملProposal of Multi-Agent based Model for Dynamic Scheduling in Manufacturing
Some recent trends in manufacturing in particular and business in general, lead to new approaches regarding the organisation and software architecture, mainly adopting distributed solutions. Such organisations imply organisational and technological evolution through agility, distribution, decentralisation, reactivity and flexibility. New organisational and technological paradigms are needed in ...
