Abstract

Facing global and dynamic competition, manufacturers need to coordinate with their partners to effectively fulfill their goal. The characteristics of agent and its running regulation is analyzed, and also, the communication mechanism among agents is researched in this paper; at the same time, mutual contact by means of KQML and circulate mechanism of multi-agent based are analyzed; a multi-agent based coordination system is proposed, which integrates with negotiation techniques to resolve the partners´ conflicts. By using which, the distributed partners can integrate and coordinate over the networked manufacturing environment.
