摘要: Nowadays there is a proliferation of research into multi-agent and holonic systems. These systems are being applied to environments including production, supply chain warehousing increase the flexibility, openness mass-customisation e-manufacturing operations. One such example Holonic Packing Cell demonstrator at Cambridge University’s Institute for Manufacturing. However, very little basis evaluating how well have been built or they will operate once deployed pragmatic shop-floor settings. This paper an initial step in filling this void by proposing framework evaluate with respect to: (i) performance their controlled operations, (ii) applicability software control systems, (iii) methodology used.
