Abstract :
Taking the shop floor based on group technology as research object, the functions of agents in multilevels are defined under the guidance of the principle of IPDI. And in result a shop floor management and control system based on multiagent systems is obtained. This system has the advantages of both distributed control structure and hierarchical control structure. A layered job-shop scheduling method based on the multiagent systems is proposed, which combines static scheduling optimization and dynamic scheduling optimization.
