Decision-making of task distribution in knowledgeable manufacturing system

An agent-based system structure of the knowledgeable manufacturing system (KMS) is proposed to (realize) the decision-making of task distribution. The concept of character control and an optimization algorithm based on Tabu search are presented. Based on the mathematical model, the dynamic process of character control is described, and the detailed steps of algorithm are given. The integration of this algorithm and character control makes the (decision-making) system of task distribution respond to the variation of tasks and agents dynamically. The simulation results testify the validity of this method.
