A multi-agent system for sharing distributed manufacturing resources

作者：

Highlights：

• The problem of sharing distributed manufacturing resources is described.

• A shared multi-agent system including two main architectures is constructed.

• Two improved heuristic algorithms called MAS-MSDT and MAS-LSS are proposed for solving SSDMR.

• Experiment results prove the advantage of MAS-MSDT compared with MAS-LSS.
