Knowledge-based Middleware as an Architecture for Planning and Scheduling Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an architecture that provides a robust, scalable and flexible software framework for planning and scheduling systems through the use of standardized industrial-strength middleware and multi-agent technology. It utilizes knowledgebased components that dynamically perform and verify the system’s configuration. The system is based on a proper formal account of hybrid planning, the integration of HTN and POCL planning, which allows to decouple flaw detection, modification computation, and search control. In adopting this methodology, planning and scheduling capabilities can be easily combined by orchestrating respective elementary modules and strategies without jeopardizing system consistency through interfering

متن کاملAccess control in ultra-large-scale systems using a data-centric middleware
The primary characteristic of an Ultra-Large-Scale (ULS) system is ultra-large size on any related dimension. A ULS system is generally considered as a system-of-systems with heterogeneous nodes and autonomous domains. As the size of a system-of-systems grows, and interoperability demand between sub-systems is increased, achieving more scalable and dynamic access control system becomes an im...
