TLDR
This work believes that methodologies from the Multi Agent Technology (MAS) are good candidates for modeling HMS, and has defined domain specific guidelines for the identification and specification of holons, to help the designer to identify domains cooperations and the system goals as use cases.Abstract:
ANEMONA is a multi-agent system (MAS) methodology for holonic manufacturing system (HMS) analysis and design. ANEMONA defines a mixed top-down and bottom-up development process, and provides HMS-specific guidelines to help designers identify and implement holons. The analysis phase is defined in two stages: System Requirements Analysis, and Holon Identification and Specification. This analysis provides high-level HMS specifications, adopting a top-down recursive approach which provides a set of elementary elements and assembling rules. The next stage is Holon Design, a bottom-up process to produce the system architecture from the analysis models. The Holons Implementation stage produces an Executable Code for the SetUp and Configuration stage. Finally, maintenances functions are executed in the Operation and Maintenance stage. The book will be of interest to researchers and students involved in artificial intelligence and software engineering, and manufacturing engineers in industry and academia.read more

Simultaneous scheduling of machines and transport robots in flexible job shop environment using hybrid metaheuristics based on clustered holonic multiagent model
TL;DR: In this article, a new disjunctive graph is presented to model simultaneously the flexible job shop scheduling problem with transportation times and many robots (FJSPT-MR) where a set of jobs have to be processed on a subset of alternative machines and additionally had to be transported between them by several transport robots.

A holonic approach to flexible flow shop scheduling under stochastic processing times
Kai Wang,S. H. Choi +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a decomposition-based holonic approach (DBHA) is proposed for flexible flow shop scheduling with stochastic processing times, which employs autonomous and cooperative holons to construct solutions.

MAS Modeling Based on Organizations
TL;DR: An agent organization model is proposed based on four main concepts: organizational unit, service, environment and norm in ANEMONA meta-models, which are extended in order to include all entities needed for describing the structure, functionality, dynamic, normalization and environment of an organization.
