Information Sharing and Context Formation in Self-Organised Manufacturing Scheduling

Abstract

We proposed a self-organised manufacturing scheduling and proved the abilities of multi-agent paradigm with simple architecture and algorithm to move appropriately in relation to several process machines. This paper studies the effects of information sharing amongst agents to context formation in the self-organised scheduling Simulation experiments indicate the information sharing plays an important role to obtain efficient individual behaviour. The work agents are observed to naturally formulate the context with coordinated motions.
