Multi Agent System News Today

Agent-based scheduling refers to applying Multi-Agent System (MAS) to model the scheduling environment, where intelligent agents cooperate to determine the task scheduling, so as to achieve scheduling objectives autonomously. To date, agent-based scheduling approaches have been developed for multiple domains, such as cloud computing, manufacturing systems, and smart grids. However, with the applications of the Internet of Things (IoT) and advanced communication technologies, real-world schedulin...

Dynamic scheduling is a hot topic in recent years. Most existing dynamic scheduling algorithms process the rescheduling in an off-line way through the modification of created schedules in advance of further execution. However, in open and stochastic environments, such as manufacturing systems, streams of exogenous events may cause information changes inside of jobs and resources during the job execution stage, so as to increase the environmental uncertainties and rescheduling computational compl...
