Autonomous agent system using dispatching rules in the negotiation protocol

2002

In this paper, the most important results obtained by the simulated application of autonomous agent paradigms to a. real factory are presented. The classical rules of dispatching are compared with the autonomous agents approach. In particular, the possibility of redesigning the negotiation rules in terms of currency in order to take into account even non-time-related costs is considered. Finally, a new project on the effective application of the autonomous agent system to a test bed, modelling a simplified firm, is proposed.
