چکیده
Agent technology has been considered as an important approach for developing distributed intelligent manufacturing systems. This paper presents some preliminary results of our two ongoing research projects related to the development of a new collaborative agent system architecture for intelligent manufacturing systems. The main features of the proposed architecture are described; some domain independent mechanisms and components are briefly introduced; and a case study is presented.
