Dynamic Agent scheduling model without contract net protocol
Zhao Liang-hu · Computer Integrated Manufacturing Systems · 2013
To search the more efficient scheduling method for dynamic Agent,a multi-Agent torrent scheduling model without employing contract-net-protocol was proposed.Different from the dynamic scheduling with public bidding,the machines'man-hours were formed as torrent by model for job Agent to choose.It evaded scheduling quality reduction leaded by concurrent-tendering operation of contract-net-protocol's scheduling,and reduced resource demand for inter-agents communication on the other hand.An optimizing module was introduced into the model,which could improve the allocation of machine time on jobs.The simulation test results validated the effectiveness of the proposed model.
