Agent-Based Manufacturing and Control Systems - New Agile Manufacturing Solutions for Achieving Peak Performance

Informationen zum Autor Massimo Paolucci, Roberto Sacile Klappentext This title outlines when agent-based systems are appropriate! enumerates techniques to decompose a problem into entities that can be modeled as agents! provides a step-by-step guide to implementation! and offers hints for using simulation to design the system. Practical! applicative! and thoroughly modern! this text provides all the tools necessary for implementing an extremely flexible! robust! adaptive! and fault-tolerant manufacturing system. This is the perfect reference for AI researchers! industrial manufacturing engineers! operations researchers! and plant managers who wish to develop the most efficient manufacturing systems available. Zusammenfassung Traditional manufacturing systems rely upon centralized, hierarchical systems that are not responsive enough to the increasing demand for mass customization. This book offers a survey of both the literature and the practical applications of this technology. Inhaltsverzeichnis Agent Technology in Modern Production Systems. Issues in Designing Agent-Based Manufacturing Systems. Agents for Planning, Scheduling, and Control. Agent-Based Simulation. Agent System Implementation. Past Successes. Future Challenges.
