Holonic Modeling of Environments for Situated Multi-agent Systems

چکیده
In a Multi-Agent Based Simulation (MABS) special attention must go to the analysis, modeling and implementation of the environment. Environments for simulation of real world problems may be complex. Seeing the environment as a monolithic structure only reduces our capacity to handle large scale, real-wold environments. In order to support this type of environments, we propose the use of an holonic perspective to represent the environment and the agents. In our approach, agents and environment are represented by holons. The environment defines an holarchy. Agents belong to a specific holon in this holarchy following their needs.

Modeling 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...
متن کاملFault 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 کاملA Fuzzy Mathematics Approach to Modeling Emergent Holonic Structures
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 ...
متن کاملAn Analysis and Design Concept for Self-organization in Holonic Multi-agent Systems
Holonic Multi-Agent Systems (HMAS) are a convenient way to engineer complex and open systems. HMAS are based upon selfsimilar entities, called holons, which define an organizational structure called holarchy. An open issue of HMAS is to give holons means of selforganization to satisfy their goals. Our works focus on modeling and engineering of complex systems using a holonic organizational appr...
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...
