Multi-agent Control of Holonic Manufacturing Systems Based on Petri Net
نویسنده
چکیده
Holonic manufacturing systems requires a robust and effective mechanism to reorganize available resources to cope with uncertainties to achieve the production goal. This paper combines the contract net protocol and Petri net to adaptively synthesize Petri net to control holonic manufacturing systems. The main results include: (1)a multi-agent model for holonic manufacturing systems based on contract net protocol, (2)a collaboration network formation process to reorganize resources to accomplish a task, (3)a collaborative Petri net model of collaborative networks and (4)characterization of liveness conditions to award contracts in multi-agent systems.

Fault Tolerant Analysis For Holonic Manufacturing Systems Based On Collaborative Petri Nets
Uncertainties are significant characteristics of today’s manufacturing systems. Holonic manufacturing systems are new paradigms to handle uncertainties and changes in manufacturing environments. Among many sources of uncertainties, failure prone machines are one of the most important ones. This paper focuses on handling machine failures in holonic manufacturing systems. Machine failure will red...
متن کاملFormal Specification of Holonic Control System ADACOR Product Holon, using High-Level Petri Nets
Holonic manufacturing and multi-agent paradigms are suitable to support tbe actual challenges of flexible manufac turing systems, due to their decentralisation, modularity and autonomy features. The formal specification assumes a critical role in order to understand and synthesise those complex systems. The Petri Nets formalism is adequate to model and validate the dynamic behaviour, but presen...
متن کاملModeling a holonic agent based solution by Petri nets
One of the key design issues for distributed systems is to find proper planning and coordination mechanisms when knowledge and decision capabilities are spread along the system. This contribution refers holonic manufacturing execution systems and highlights the way a proper modeling method – Petri nets – makes evident certain problems that can appear when agents have to simultaneously treat mor...
متن کاملTo a Formal Modeling Approach of Error Recovery in Production Systems Based on Holonic Multi-agent Systems Specification
Production systems must be reconfigurable and endowed with methods and tools allowing an automatic recovery of expected and unexpected errors. In this domain, error recovery in production systems is always an open problem. Multiagent systems seem to be adapted for representing this kind of problem in an attempt to arrive at a reconfigurable, adaptive, and “intelligent” manufacturing systems. Th...
متن کاملDesign of collaborative and reconfigurable control architecture for dispersed productive systems
In general, the control systems for conventional manufacturing systems are organized into hierarchical layers such as, enterprise control, factory control, and shop floor control. In an approach based on division in scope and breadth of the problems these levels are designed to act with relative autonomy. However, currently manufacturing systems must necessarily be reconfigurable to assure feat...
