....is a defining component of a social group (Fig. 3) 2.3 Groups as Agents At first glance, AALAADIN contrasts strongly with the holonic view of agent organization. A holon is an agent that may be made up of smaller holons and that may join together with other holons to form higher level holons [5, 17, 19, 20]. Thus the holonic model explicitly permits groups to be members of other groups. The resulting lattice of holons is called a holarchy, and is the dominant organizational metaphor in holonic systems [36] In AALAADIN, groups are related only through shared members, and there is no provision for ....

....systems based on agents. The within the factory planning and scheduling level. YAMS [18] is one of the earliest projects in this field. Since then, many research efforts followed, such as the AARIA project at the university of Cincinnati [20] and the INTERRAP based solution at the DFKI [9]. The physical units level. In this level, agents control the production units, such as robots, pick and place machines, NC machines, etc. 15] is an excellent survey of the existing agent based manufacturing systems. 2.3 The open nested transaction model Traditionally, database transactions ....

....a component for spatial reasoning SpaCE (Spatial Cognition Engine) was developed, which is currently being ported to RAJA. Deep Map is a multi agent system, and therefore, SpaCE as part of the system, was designed as an agent. Even more, it is a multi agent system of it s own, or a so called holon [12] consisting of several autonomous subagents, which cooperate in order to solve spatial reasoning problems. This nested or holonic architecture was chosen because there are many (concurrent) processes involved in spatial reasoning, which interact to solve a speci c problem. Figure 6 illustrates the ....

....bigger) fish. We call agents consisting of sub agents with the same inherent structure holonic agents. Section 2 gives a formal definition of multiagent systems in general. In Section 3, we extend this to a formal definition of holonic multiagent systems building on previous work in this area [5, 6, 8], and highlight the diversity of groupings (links of varying nature between agents and recursion) that are possible with this concept. Section 4 compares the notion of holonic multiagent systems to holonic manufacturing systems. 2 Abstract Specification of Multiagent Systems For any software ....
....The proposed theory has been iteratively tested, developed, and applied in a series of projects over several years with a big variation in requirements. In one 9 domain (flexible manufacturing) agents form holons because they have di#erent abilities and can only as a group achieve the task at hand [5]. A second example (train coupling and sharing) demonstrates that even in a setting where we have agents with identical abilities holonic structures can be beneficial [13] Several other projects focused on special aspects of holonic modelling (e.g. RoboCup [10] Socionics [15] The most striking ....
