Agent-Based Manufacturing and Control Systems
This book, spanning seven chapters, focuses on the newly-developed decentralized (heterarchical) management systems in manufacturing. In the first two chapters an introduction to agent technology and agent-based manufacturing systems is presented. This is followed by a chapter describing agents for planning, scheduling and control, where the classic concepts of production planning and scheduling are described alongside with the agent-based alternatives. The fourth chapter focuses on agent-based simulation, including modeling and implementation issues. The fifth chapter concentrates on the implementation of an agent system, which contains an extensive description of the abstract architecture and case study examples. The last two chapters present, respectively, past successes and future challenges and provide a very useful insight into the strengths and weaknesses of the proposed methodology when dealing with modern production systems. The authors give weight to both an up-to-date survey of the literature in the area and the practical applications of this new technology. Each chapter contains its own `conclusions' section, where a summary of the chapter is presented, and a extremely helpful list of references. The book concludes with an index.
