Abstract

The paper aims to present the authors´ research on the self-learning mechanism in the model of reconfigurable manufacturing system (RMS). First of all, a multi-agent model for RMS based on the complex adaptive system (CAS) is originally proposed. To make the model clear, the agent and its structure are provided. Then the paper goes to analyze the complex adaptive nature or mechanism which is self-learning in the model. Following the analysis, a detailed description of the reconfiguration algorithm in the reconfigurable workshop machining system model is given. Finally, the basic properties of the CAS in the model are discussed in the paper. The multi-agent model for RMS based on CAS reduces the data transmission amount and makes the model more simple and easier to realize
