Holonic Execution: A BDI Approach
Holonic manufacturing has been an active area of research for the past decade. However, this work has been predominately in the areas of planning and scheduling on the one hand and control on the other. In this book we propose these two areas can be integrated through adopting a focus on execution.
Holonic and multi-agent systems for manufacturing ; 3rd International Conference on industrial applications of holonic and multi-agent systems, HoloMAS 2007, Regensburg, Germany, September 3-5, 2007, Proceedings
The research of holonic and agent-based systems is developing rapidly, as is the community around this R&D topic. Despite the fact that real-life practical implementations of such systems remain surprisingly rare, the leaders in different branches of industry feel that the holonic and agent-based systems represent the only way to manage and control very complex, highly distributed systems in the future.
ANEMONA : A Mulit-agent Methodology for Holonic Manufacturing Systems
ANEMONA is a multi-agent system (MAS) methodology for holonic manufacturing system (HMS) analysis and design, based on HMS requirements. The development process of ANEMONA provides clear and HMS-specific modeling guidelines for HMS designers, and complete development phases for the HMS life cycle.
