Learning in Agent-Based Manufacturing Systems

چکیده
Agent-based technology has been taken as an important approach for developing advanced manufacturing systems. Learning is one of the key techniques for implementing such systems. This paper proposes some learning issues in agent-based manufacturing systems for further discussion in the working group. As examples, the paper describes two implemented learning mechanisms and presents some experimental results in an agent-based manufacturing system.

MetaMorph: An Adaptive Agent-Based Architecture for Intelligent Manufacturing
Global competition and rapidly changing customer requirements are forcing major changes in the production styles and configuration of manufacturing organizations. Traditional centralised manufacturing systems are not able to meet such requirements. This paper proposes an agent-based approach for dynamically creating and managing agent communities in such widely distributed and ever-changing man...
متن کاملVoltage Coordination of FACTS Devices in Power Systems Using RL-Based Multi-Agent Systems
This paper describes how multi-agent system technology can be used as the underpinning platform for voltage control in power systems. In this study, some FACTS (flexible AC transmission systems) devices are properly designed to coordinate their decisions and actions in order to provide a coordinated secondary voltage control mechanism based on multi-agent theory. Each device here is modeled as ...
متن کاملDecision Making in Agent-Based Manufacturing With A Reinforcement Learning Approach
Development of production systems, presents new ways of manufacturing. Agent-based systems are of emerging interest in the specification and implementation of manufacturing systems. In this paper, we have simulated a manufacturing system to introduce the role of intelligent decision making in manufacturing. The main idea is to develop independent agents which would create a formation for produc...
متن کاملManufacturing Scheduling Using Colored Petri Nets and Reinforcement Learning
Agent-based intelligent manufacturing control systems are capable to efficiently respond and adapt to environmental changes. Manufacturing system adaptation and evolution can be addressed with learning mechanisms that increase the intelligence of agents. In this paper a manufacturing scheduling method is presented based on Timed Colored Petri Nets (CTPNs) and reinforcement learning (RL). CTPNs ...
متن کاملImproving Agent Performance for Multi-Resource Negotiation Using Learning Automata and Case-Based Reasoning
In electronic commerce markets, agents often should acquire multiple resources to fulfil a high-level task. In order to attain such resources they need to compete with each other. In multi-agent environments, in which competition is involved, negotiation would be an interaction between agents in order to reach an agreement on resource allocation and to be coordinated with each other. In recent ...
