Multi-Agent modeling on scheduling of multi-variety and multi-process job-shop

A new method for modeling and analyzing the scheduling of multi-variety and multi-process job-shop based on multi-Agent was proposed to effectively solve the dynamic and complex scheduling of multi-variety and multi-process job-shop problem.A physical and mathematic scheduling model of multi-variety and multi-process job-shop based on multi-Agent was established combined with the independence and coordination characteristics of multi-Agent technology according to the dynamic and complicated scheduling of multi-variety and multi-process job-shop.The analyzing scheduling system obtained the target function based on six kinds of agents such as planning Agent,searching Agent,negotiating Agent,deciding Agent,logistics Agent and database Agent.The scheduling results were gradually optimized with the integrated use of the tendering and bidding policy.A system was designed to realize the analyzing scheduling of multi-variety and multi-process job-shop with Java programming language.The scheduling of the job-shop in a certain national automobile liner production enterprise was taken as an example.Results proved the validity and reliability of multi-Agent model and scheduling system.
