Agent Based Modelling and Simulation ofIntelligent Distributed Scheduling Systems

摘要

For responsiveness and agility disruptive events must be managed locally to avoidpropagating the effects along the value chain. In this work, emergent distributedscheduling is proposed to overcome the traditional separation between task schedulingand manufacturing execution systems. An interaction mechanism designed around theconcept of order and resource agents acting as autonomic managers is described.Results obtained for different scenarios using a simulation model of the mechanismimplemented in Netlogo are presented.
