“…For instance, the principles of the ADACOR adaptive holonic production control architecture are applied in the context of a global value network [145]. The ExPlanTech framework [146] covers the functional dimension: it provides specialized modules to support complex planning, resource allocation and scheduling problems (so-called heavy duty planners). The system has its own ontology and, being implemented on the top of JADE, runs on various platforms.…”

“…Next, interoperability is expensive. Just due to the increased communication overhead, the performance of a MAS can degrade and especially rough-grained systems (consisting of sophisticated agents) can hardly be scaled up [146] [193]. Although the agent metaphor is useful in system design, and there also are several methodologies to support agent-oriented software engineering, industrial-strength support is still missing.…”

Agent-Based Systems for Manufacturing

The emerging paradigm of agent-based computation has revolutionized the building of intelligent and decentralized systems. The new technologies met well the requirements in all domains of manufacturing where problems of uncertainty and temporal dynamics, information sharing and distributed operation, or coordination and cooperation of autonomous entities had to be tackled. In the paper software agents and multi-agent systems are introduced and through a comprehensive survey, their potential manufacturing applications are outlined. Special emphasis is laid on methodological issues and deployed industrial systems. After discussing open issues and strategic research directions, we conclude that the evolution of agent technologies and manufacturing will probably proceed hand in hand. The former can receive real challenges from the latter, which, in turn, will have more and more benefits in applying agent technologies, presumably together with well-established or emerging approaches of other disciplines.

“…Based on intelligent holons, Fletcher et al (2001) present a conceptual architecture of a lumber processing system to improve flexibility and fault tolerance. The ExPlanTech architecture developed by the Czech Technical University (Pechoucek et al 2005) is a multiagent approach for decision-making support and simulation for manufacturing process. This approach integrates coordination and negotiation to deal with distributed environment.…”

The development of integrated supply chains and the use of interorganizalional information systems have increased business interdependencies. Thus, the ability to deal quickly and seamlessly with everyday unplanned events is critical to maintain the overall performance of the supply chain. In order to develop tools to promote the collaborative management of such events, agent-based technology takes advantage of agents' ability to make autonomous decisions in a distributed context. Collaborative Event Management (CEM) is an approach designed to improve agility in a context where planning decisions are supported by a distributed advanced planning system (d-APS). This paper proposes an agent model geared with tools to collaboratively picm operations to deal with unplanned events.
