A Game-Theoretic Analysis of Multi-Agent Systems for Shop Floor.. - Cicirello (2001)   (1 citation)  Self-citation (Cicirello)   (Correct)

....) Bonabeau et al. Bonabeau et al. 1999] provide a comprehensive survey of adaptive multi agent systems that have been inspired by social insect behavior 1 . We have developed a series of systems for the problem of dynamic shop floor routing based on such models of social insect behavior [Cicirello and Smith, 2001a; 2001d; 2001b] Empirically, these systems seem effective; but we have neither a theoretical basis for nor a theoretical understanding of the behavior of the individual agents of these systems nor of the global performance of these systems. In this paper, we model these systems in gametheoretic terms ....

....the paper and discusses potential future work. 2 Shop Floor Routing Formalized In this Section, we present terminology and formal definitions regarding the particular form of shop floor routing under analysis. 1 For a survey focused on manufacturing applications of social insect behavior see [Cicirello and Smith, 2001c] 2 The shop floor consists of a set of machines 2 M = fm 1 ; m 2 ; m n g. Each of the machines m i 2 M is multi purpose in that it is capable of performing some set of tasks T (m i ) ft i;1 ; t i;2 ; t i;p g. Furthermore, there may or may not be alternative machines ....
