Abstract

Combining the intelligent ant and reinforcement learning, an on-line job-shop scheduling model based on the adaptive agent was proposed. In the process of learning, the intelligent ant made decision according to the past rewards and an immediate reward. When the production environment changed, e.g. the machines or the orders were changed, the adaptive agent could make an adjustment and the optimal assignment of resources could be realized finally. The simulation results show that the method is effective.
