ANEMONA: a multi-agent methodology for holonic manufacturing systems

ANEMONA is a multi-agent system (MAS) methodology for holonic manufacturing system (HMS) analysis and design, based on HMS requirements. ANEMONA defines a mixed top-down and bottom-up development process, and provides HMS-specific guidelines to help the designer in identifying and implementing holons. In ANEMONA, the specified HMS is divided into concrete aspects that form different ‘views’ of the system. The development process of ANEMONA provides clear and HMS-specific modelling guidelines for HMS designers, and complete development phases for the HMS life cycle. The analysis phase is defined in two stages: SystemRequirements Analysis, and Holon Identification and Specification. This analysis provides high-level HMS specifications from the requirements, adopting a top-down recursive approach. An advantage of this recursive analysis is that its results, i.e. the analysis models, provide a set of elementary elements and assembling rules. Provides clear modeling guidelines for designers of holonic manufacturing systems (HMS), and complete development phases for the HMS life cycle INDICE: Introduction.- Part I Backgrounds.- Holonic Manufacturing Systems.- Holons and Agents.- Part II Methodology for Holonic Manufacturing System.- HMS Development.- ANEMONA Notation.- ANEMONA Development Process.- Part III Evaluation and Case Study.- Evaluation of the ANEMONA Methodology.- Case Study.- Conclusions.
