Abstract

The paper outlines a discrete-event simulation environment for modeling agent-based manufacturing systems. Exploiting the advantages of a general discrete-event simulation package, in the developed system agent-based features are directly included in the simulation environment providing the possibility to build agent-based models inside the simulation. The paper describes the agent-based functionalities of the system by presenting the communication mechanisms and predefined collaboration protocols. The modeling system implements the heterarchical control concept that is based on the contract net protocol.
