A Fuzzy Mathematics Approach to Modeling Emergent Holonic Structures
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper proposes fuzzy entropy minimization as an emergent property of holonic structures. When applied in the context of multi-agent systems this emergent property leads to automatic clustering of the agents into holonic organizations. When modeling enterprises as software agents the property turns into an inherent characteristic of holonic virtual organizations that enables clustering the best collaborative partners and/or resources at all levels of a holonic (virtual) enterprise. Applicability of the method to on-line reconfiguration of dynamic virtual organizations is proven by a simulation example. Key-words: Holonic structure; emergent virtual organization; multi-agent systems; fuzzy entropy minimization; metamorphic architecture; dynamic re-configuration.

متن کاملModeling Lateral Communication in Holonic Multi Agent Systems
Agents, in a multi agent system, communicate with each other through the process of exchanging messages which is called dialogue. Multi agent organization is generally used to optimize agents’ communications. Holonic organization demonstrates a self-similar recursive and hierarchical structure in which each holon may include some other holons. In a holonic system, lateral communication occurs b...
