TL;DR: An agile and adaptive manufacturing control architecture is presented that addresses the need for the fast reaction to disturbances at the shop floor level, increasing the agility and flexibility of the enterprise, when it works in volatile environments.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a holonic approach to manufacturing scheduling, where the scheduling functions are distributed by several entities, combining their calculation power and local optimization capability, and the objective is to achieve fast and dynamic re-scheduling using a scheduling mechanism that evolves dynamically to combine centralized and distributed strategies, improving its responsiveness to emergence.

TL;DR: An analysis of the ADACor collaborative manufacturing control architecture from the point of view of the Collaborative Manufacturing Management paradigm shows how ADACOR (adaptive holonic control architecture for distributed manufacturing system) supports integration and extension across the manufacturing value chain.

TL;DR: The paper describes the implementation and experimental validation of an ADACOR-based holonic manufacturing control system in a real flexible manufacturing system, using multiagent systems technology.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on available efforts and solutions in the area of Service-Oriented Multi-Agent Systems (SoMAS) and explain the idea behind the service-oriented agents in industrial automation.
