This contribution reveals how the planning and coordination processes in Holonic Manufacturing Execution Systems entail the need of a centralized component, under the form of a staff holon. By using appropriate models (both monochrome and coloured Petri nets) and certain aspects of planning techniques in Artificial Intelligence, a PROSA based implementation is considered. In the obtained holonic scheme, named HAPBA, the solution of the manufacturing goals is attained by holons’ cooperation, according to an enhanced form of the Contract Net Protocol, so that certain drawbacks that are possible to appear in a holonic approach are avoided. Theoretical and experimental arguments are supporting the proposed solution.read more

Holonic coordination obtained by joining the contract net protocol with constraint satisfaction
Doru Panescu,Carlos Pascal +1 more
TL;DR: A coordination scheme for holonic systems, based on a mix between contract net protocol and distributed constraint satisfaction problems, can ensure the right trade-off between complexity and optimality, and the attached model can constitute the required link between design and implementation, thus contributing to an easier deployment of holonic system.

The Contract Net Protocol: High-Level Communication and Control in a Distributed Problem Solver
TL;DR: In this article, the contract net protocol has been developed to specify problem-solving communication and control for nodes in a distributed problem solver, where task distribution is affected by a negotiation process, a discussion carried on between nodes with tasks to be executed and nodes that may be able to execute those tasks.
