Industrial Application of Agent Systems: Lessons Learned and Future Challenges

摘要

Challenges in modern industry such as high complexity inside companies and in the environment, ever increasing dynamics to react to, integration of many different partners and world-wide distribution of supply and production networks seem to really demand for the promises of agent systems. Multi agent systems handle complex systems by dividing them into smaller pieces. Agents can react to changing environments. Distribution, autonomy and interaction are basic concepts at the heart of agent systems.
