Abstract-In this paper, we propose a new modeling methodology named MedPRO for addressing organization problems of health care systems. It is based on a meta-model with three different views: process view (care pathways of patients), resource view (activities of relevant resources), and organization view (dependencies and organization of resources). The resulting metamodel can be instantiated for a specific health care system and be converted into executable model for simulation by means of a special class of Petri nets, called Health Care Petri Nets (HCPN). HCPN models also serve as a basis for short-term planning and scheduling of health care activities. As a result, the MedPRO methodology leads to a fast-prototyping tool for easy and rigorous modeling and simulation of health care systems. A case study is presented to show the benefits of the MedPRO methodology.

“…A product holon stores the process and product knowledge needed to insure the correct manufacture of the product. It acts as an information server for the other holons in the HMS (P. Valckenaers et al 1996). An order holon represents a task in a manufacturing system.…”

Abstract. Manufacturing companies are more and more required to implement intelligent infrastructures to handle the dynamic nature of demands and make quick decisions. Very limited research has been reported on holonic control in a flow-line type manufacturing systems such as welding cells.In this paper we present a conceptual design of an intelligent welding cell using SysML (Systems Modeling Language). The holonic paradigm has been adopted to check the different configurations desired by the customers, which allows users to pre-define and pre-design the different configurations of the welding cell. The topdown modeling method based on SysML and the holonic control paradigm allows designers to define the different requirements of the manufacturing system and generate the appropriate dynamic configurations without complicating the design process. The approach has been applied to the case of a welding cell of the remedial parts of scaffolding systems. The objective in this case is to adapt the manufacturing system to the client needs for using either cylindrical or oval cross sectional traverse parts, and therefore to respond to the manufacturing company needs in terms of flexibility and productivity.

“…HMS is to strengthen autonomy and harmony for the basic unit, which is made up of basic Holon unit, the research areas covered enterprise, workshop supported mainly by information technology and standardization [4] Its topology structure is illustrated by figure 2, it has self-resemble topology structure. The topology relationship and function model is determined by fixed rules, the concreted action is determined by flexible strategy.…”

Nowadays, the change of marketplace require manufacturing system to diversify from mass customization style to step-mass customization style, thus lead to the manufacturing value orientation change from product oriented to custom oriented, main manufacturing strategy change from cost, quality etc. to deadline, manufacturing principle change from individual to cooperation, manufacturing direction change from technology-oriented to innovation and human centered. The proposed holonic control system for operating an automated material handling system attempts to combine both the advantages of hierarchical (global optimization) and heterarchical (real-time response when changing conditions occur) control architectures. Due to its architecture, the holonic system can work both as a hierarchical system, during normal operation when no disturbances are present, and as a heterarchical system, when facing sudden disturbances. In this paper, the negotiation Holon which is map to agent strategy is applied to cooperative activity among holons in a Holonic society. A novel algorithm based on PSO and GA for the order task Holon allocation problem is presented. Simulation results show that the architect and negotiation model is effective to the task allocation problem, the algorithm have good performance on settling task optimization problem.
