Abstract

This paper addresses and introduces an overview on various multi-agent architectures applied to teams of metaheuristic agents for job shop scheduling applications, whose developed and examined on distributed problem solving environments. We reported a couple of topologies; ATEAM is a centrally coordinating method, which provides very good results when well-studied, on the other hand, architectures based on peer-to-peer technology provide wider flexibility in implementing various fashions. The experimentation for each targeted topology has revealed more details and attracts more attentions.
