....the next section. For more details on the overall descriptions or architectures of individual holons or their connection infrastructure systems, the reader is referred to [3] 4] 25] and particularly to reports on the so called Product Resource Order Staff Architecture (PROSA) proposed in [15]. In this paper we are not examining the way in which holons are designed and built but rather the way in which they interact in order to address production planning and control issues. 3.2 Holonic Production Planning and Control Review In this section we examine the different approaches being ....

....mechanisms have been explored to a degree within the different production control levels, and requirements for autonomy have been established, particularly with regard to the lower level control functions in Figure 5. Numerous architectures for holonic manufacturing systems have been proposed [3, 15, 73], but a rather prominent weakness in the research to date has been the lack of any discussions about the relative performance of the control mechanisms that they support. In particular, holonic manufacturing systems are frequently cited as performing well in the face of disturbances but there has ....

....manufacturing systems adapt flexibly to its ever changing environment. These paradigms include Holonic Manufacturing Systems (HMS) Bionic Manufacturing Systems (BMS) Fractal Factory and Multi Agent Systems (MAS) Holons are the basic entities in Holonic Manufacturing Systems. Van Brussel et al. [5] defined a holon as an autonomous and co operative building block of a manufacturing system for transforming, transporting, storing and or validating information and physical objects. A holon consists of an information processing part and often a physical processing part. A holon can be part of ....

Agents in Logistics Three types of agents in the domain of logistics can be identi ed (similar to Van Brussel et al. 1998)) which are described as followed: Resource Agent A resource can be either allocated by applying simple rules or managed in a more sophisticated manner by resource agents. Resource agents can be associated to groups. As long as there are more than one agents in a group, a master agent can be ....

....and disturbances. As such, their control requires constant adaptation and high flexibility. Holonic manufacturing is a highly distributed control paradigm that promises to handle these problems successfully. It is based on the concept of autonomous co operating agents, called holons. [18] A holon is an autonomous and co operative building block of a manufacturing system. The concept of autonomity emphasises the capability of a holon to create and control the execution of its own plans and strategies. It is, however, embedded in a holarchy, that is a system of holons that can ....

....block of a manufacturing system. The concept of autonomity emphasises the capability of a holon to create and control the execution of its own plans and strategies. It is, however, embedded in a holarchy, that is a system of holons that can co operate to achieve goals or objectives (compare [18, 17]) A holon may consists of a physical and an informational component. The informational component contains information, has decision making capabilities, and manages the physical component and the cooperation with other holons [7] We will concentrate on the informational component in the ....

Leuven ( Van Brussel et al. 1998 ] Wyns, 1999 ] As a reference architecture it speci es what kinds of holons should comprise the system, what are the general responsibilities of these holons, and what is the structure of the interactions in the holarchy.

It also indicates that in our context components may be composed of multiple other (atomic or also composite) components. This property is sometimes referred as self similarity in literature (VanBrussel et al. 1998). Furthermore a component may be connected to other components (via its interfaces) at the same level.

....messages complying with the FIPA standard, however it is unclear how the agent model can fulfill the architectural requirements of the HMS project. Recently there have been several papers that address the integration of agents and holonic manufacturing. The PROSA architecture of Brussel et al. [41] consists of three types of basic agent based holons: product, resource and order. These holons are structured using the object oriented concepts of specialisation and aggregation. Staff holons assist basic holons by providing expert knowledge. However due to its abstract nature, this model is ....
