Abstract

The cooperation of autonomous agents is synthesized in order to satisfy demands imposed on a group of agents or on MAS (multi agent systems). Petri nets (PNs), especially place/transition PNs (P/T PNs), are used for modelling the agents. The modular approach is utilized on that way. PN-based methods of discrete event systems (DES) control and supervising are utilized in order to synthesize the cooperation of the agents. The usefulness and applicability of the approach is demonstrated by examples and case studies.
