Team-Work based Architecture for Distributed Manufacturing Scheduling
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a Team-Work based architecture for Distributed Manufacturing Scheduling with Genetic Algorithms and Tabu Search. We consider that a good global solution for a scheduling problem may emerge from a community of machine agents solving locally their schedules and cooperating with other machine agents. Social aspects are considered when a community of autonomous agents cooperate to reach a common goal. Agents negotiate in a cooperative way, in order to find a consistent overall plan, while avoiding significant changes onto their current best possible local plans. A cooperative negotiation mechanism is proposed. Key-Words: Multi-Agent Systems, Dynamic and Distributed Scheduling, Meta-Heuristics, Manufacturing
