Corba-based Communications Architectures for Resource Holons in Hms
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Holonic Manufacturing Systems (HMS) represent a pragmatic solution to model and design modern production processes intended to be flexible in terms of to the volume and the diversity of the resulting consumer goods and adaptable to the availability of the processing resources. In order to increase the efficiency of HMS, the communication aspects like interoperability and reliability inside a genuine distributed system have to be carefully considered. This paper details the design aspects of a distributed service-oriented architecture based on CORBA standards intended to enhance the cooperation during the holarchies formation in a PROSA based architecture. It presents the communication architectural view and the basic rules to define the IDL generic interfaces and a client-server Java application that integrates a control system developed in JACK multiagent environment for the resource holons.

Design of reconfiguration mechanism for holonic manufacturing systems based on formal models
One of the key design issues of holonic manufacturing systems (HMS) is to effectively respond to resource failures based on the flexible holonic architecture. The objective of this paper is to propose a viable design methodology to implement reconfiguration mechanism in HMS. A reconfiguration mechanism is developed to accommodate changes based on collaboration of holons without leading to chaos...

متن کاملHow Intelligent Manufacturing Holons Configure Themselves
Due to customers' requirements for customized products that meet their unique needs, manufacturing companies have to be more agile with how their shopfloors are configured. One paradigm for ensuring such agility is that of Holonic Manufacturing Systems (HMS). In a HMS, artificially intelligent entities (called holons) act both autonomously and cooperatively to manage the shopfloor in a distribu...
