Abstract
Manufacturing scheduling is a difficult problem, particularly when it takes place in an open and dynamic environment. In this paper Agent-based CAPP and PPC integrated architecture under network is proposed. The objective is to overcome the rigidity of conventional hierarchical structures and to introduce new integrated architectures that are able to adapt to a dynamic environment, at same time the agent technology and self-organized method of holonic manufacturing have been used in attempts to resolve scheduling problem, a bidding mechanism based on Contract Net protocol is proposed as a key solution component. Our approach is to combine a bidding mechanism based on Contract Net protocol with a mediation mechanism based on Mediator architecture, for dynamic manufacturing scheduling and rescheduling.
