Proposal of Multi-Agent based Model for Dynamic Scheduling in Manufacturing

چکیده
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 order to reply to the modern manufacturing systems challenges. The Multi-Agent paradigm represents one of the most promising approaches to build complex, flexible, and cost-effective scheduling systems because of its distributed and dynamic nature. Modelling the Scheduling of Manufacturing Systems by means of two technologies like Meta-Heuristics and Multi-Agent Systems seems to be an interesting way to see Industrial Systems in the future. A multi-agent based model for support dynamic scheduling in manufacturing environments is proposed. Key-Words: Multi-Agent Systems, Dynamic and Distributed Scheduling, Meta-Heuristics, Manufacturing

متن کاملDynamic Cargo Trains Scheduling for Tackling Network Constraints and Costs Emanating from Tardiness and Earliness
This paper aims to develop a multi-objective model for scheduling cargo trains faced by the costs of tardiness and earliness, time limitations, queue priority and limited station lines. Based upon the Islamic Republic of Iran Railway Corporation (IRIRC) regulations, passenger trains enjoy priority over other trains for departure. Therefore, the timetable of cargo trains must be determined based...
