多智能体车间调度系统研究

Multi-agent based system for scheduling

现在制造业所面临的动态需求使得其必须具有更加灵活的应变机制,这使得车间调度问题变得越来越复杂。本文采取多智能体系统技术(MAS)设计了一个包含四个智能体(agent)的多智能体车间调度系统,分别为车间调度智能体、任务分配智能体、车间资源智能体以及拍卖智能体。通过这四个智能体的通信、交互和合作,系统可以给出一个满足当前制造需求的调度最优结果。

The workshop scheduling problem has become more and more complex and difficult as the modern manufacturing has to face dynamic change and needs more flexible mechanism. In this paper a new scheduling system is proposed which adopted multi-agent system technology. There are four types of agents in this system： scheduling agent, task agent, resource and auction agent, these four agents interact, communicate and cooperate with each other and then give an optimal scheduling result to face manufacturing needs.
