DISTRIBUTED SELF-SIMULATION OF HOLONIC MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS

摘要

This paper details the development of a distributed simulation capability for holonic manufacturing systems based on the concept of self-simulation. Every holon in the system would Junction similar to an autonomous simulator that maintains its own clock and event execution. This paper discusses synchronization and other technical issues in designing such a simulator and puts forward the basic requirements and design options for its implementation. These are results of HMS project in IMS (Intelligent Manufacturing Systems) program.
