摘要: This paper describes a responsive manufacturing system based on heterogeneous hierarchy of agents three types that reflect the managerial structure enterprises. The is not only capable responding rapidly to dynamic changes fulfil customer needs but enable utilization resources be dynamically optimized. In addition, improve efficiency, this also introduces called qua-base acquaintance model which might facilitate multi-agent internal communication.
