Abstract :
This paper analyses production scheduling system in re-entrant line, and presents a simulation model of the manufacturing system which is based on MAS (multi agent simulation) and HLA (high level architecture). According to the model, a related simulation system is developed with Jade and Jess as developing tools to stimulate the manufacturing system, and a new model of constructing ant algorithm on multi-agent system (AAMAS) is proposed to find a satisfactory scheduling scheme.
