Production-outsourcing supply chain (POSC) is a kind of special supply chain in which the core enterprise transfer the manufacturing of products to the other enterprises. It results in the separation of two important stages - product designing and product manufacturing for forming product quality, that is product...
A critical challenge to create effective agent-based systems is allowing them to operate effectively when the design environment is complex, dynamic, and error-prone. Much research has been made on multi-agent system (MAS) in CSCD field, especially on conflict handling, which is not yet well-addressed due to its sophistication. Conflict resolution plays a central role in collaborative design. In this...
A supply chain (SC) is a world-wide complex network of suppliers, factories, warehouses, distribution centers and retailers. Due to the features of its production planning: distribution, autonomy, synchronism and openness, the traditional methods of production planning are unable to meet the demands of supply chain production planning (SCPP). Under collaborative environment, in order to eliminate...
Traditional contract net protocols can simply and flexibly solve the negotiation problem of multi-agent system (MAS). But they canpsilat work very well within the large scale system environment and is ineffective to solve the multi-issue negotiation problem. This paper investigates the reputation contract net protocol (RCNP) and proposes a novel contract net negotiation model based on RCNP. The model...
In this epoch of global economic markets, an intense world-wide competition has impelled manufacturing industry to move toward the agile and high-effective manufacturing paradigm. All require a flexible, requirement-driven, and reconfigurable production system to adapt to this open manufacturing environment and to be subject to the requirements of the increasing reduction in product life cycle and...
