A multi-agent based cooperative approach to scheduling and routing
In this paper, we propose a general agent-based distributed framework where each agent is implementing a different metaheuristic/local search combination. Moreover, an agent continuously adapts itself during the search process using a direct cooperation protocol based on reinforcement learning and pattern matching. Good patterns that make up improving solutions are identified and shared by the ...
متن کاملAgent-based approach for cooperative scheduling
This paper studies the multi-factory production (MFP) network scheduling problem where a number of different individual factories join together to form a MFP network, in which these factories can operate more economically than operating individually. However, in such network which known as virtual production network with self-interested factories with transportation times, each individual facto...
متن کاملAgent-Based Cooperative Scheduling
Cooperative scheduling is concerned with integrating multiple problem-solving perspectives or objectives when generating solutions to a scheduling problem. Cooperation may involve interactions between humans, between scheduling agents, or between humans and agents. The purpose of this paper is to focus on the later two types of cooperation in which a team of software-based asynchronous agents p...
متن کاملMulti Machine Scheduling: An Agent-Based Approach
Scheduling of multiple parallel machines in the face of sequence dependent setups and downstream considerations is a hard problem. No single efficient algorithm is guaranteed to produce optimal results. We describe a solution for an instance of this problem, in the domain of paper manufacturing. The problem has additional job machine restrictions and fixed costs of assigning jobs to machines. W...
متن کاملMulti-agent-based agile scheduling
The multi-agent systems paradigm represents one of the most promising approaches to the development of agile scheduling systems in manufacturing. Innovative and balanced perspectives of multi-agent approaches to agile scheduling are discussed in this paper, and several achieved results and current developments are described. The description of the multi-agent framework emphasizes the use of neg...
