Holonic and Multi-Agent Systems for Manufacturing
This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Conference on Industrial Applications of Holonic and Multi-Agent Systems held in September 2007. The 39 full papers were selected from among 63 submissions. They are organized into topical sections covering theoretical and methodological issues, algorithms and technologies, implementation and validation, applications, and supply chain management.
Holonic and Multi-Agent Systems for Manufacturing
The challenge faced in today’s manufacturing and business environments is the question of how to satisfy increasingly stringent customer requirements while managing growing system complexity. For example, customers expect high-quality, customizable, low-cost products that can be delivered quickly. The systems that deliver these expectations are by nature distributed, concurrent, and stochastic, and, as a result, increasingly difficult to manage. Unfortunately, the traditional hierarchical, strictly centralized approach to control used in these domains is characteristically inflexible, fragile, and difficult to maintain. These shortcomings have led to the development of a new class of manufacturing and supply-chain decision-making approaches in recent years. Solutions based on these approaches usually explore a set of highly distributed decision-making units that are capable of autonomous operations while cooperating interactively to resolve larger problems. The units, referred to as agents in classical computer science and software engineering, or holons if physically integrated with the manufacturing hardware, interact by exchanging information. These units are motivated by arriving at local solutions as well as collaborating and sharing resources and goals in solving the overall problem in question collectively.
Industrial Applications of Holonic and Multi-Agent Systems
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Industrial Applications of Holonic and Multi-Agent Systems, HoloMAS 2019, held in Linz, Austria, in August 2019. The 14 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 15 submissions, and 2 invited papers were also included. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: invited talks; methodologies and framework; agent-based production scheduling and control; data and knowledge; and MAS in various areas.
