Abstract:

When establishing a multi-agent system model of distributed manufacturing information system (DMIS),it is necessary to study and analyze the control requirements and the functional requirements.In this paper,theflexible coupling automaton was adopted to establish the abstract model,the computational architecture and the al-gorithm of each DMIS unit in the multi-agent system model,The communication among the agents was then iustanti-ated bv the interaction between the machine and the material storage,and the interface based 0n the two-way au-tomaton with output was utilized during the interaction.The results indicate that the proposed Agent system can be used to analyze simultaneously the control requirements and the functional requirements of DMIS,and that it is con-venient for both the analysis and the design of the system.

Key words: distributed manufacturing, multi-agent system, abstract model, computational architecture, automaton
