Synopsis

Industrial Agents explains how multi-agent systems improve collaborative networks to offer dynamic service changes, customization, improved quality and reliability, and flexible infrastructure. Learn how these platforms can offer distributed intelligent management and control functions with communication, cooperation and synchronization capabilities, and also provide for the behavior specifications of the smart components of the system. The book offers not only an introduction to industrial agents, but also clarifies and positions the vision, on-going efforts, example applications, assessment and roadmap applicable to multiple industries. This edited work is guided and co-authored by leaders of the IEEE Technical Committee on Industrial Agents who represent both academic and industry perspectives and share the latest research along with their hands-on experiences prototyping and deploying industrial agents in industrial scenarios.

About this title

Review

An edited work presenting the latest research and industry applications of agent-based software systems

From the Back Cover

Agent-based software systems are becoming a key management and control software technology for smart production management and control systems. Collaborative networks must be redefined to meet market demands for dynamic service changes, customization, improved quality and reliability, and flexible infrastructure. A multi-agent based software platform can offer distributed intelligent management and control functions with communication, cooperation and synchronization capabilities, and also provide for the behavior specifications of the smart components of the system. For these reasons, industrial system and software engineers are looking to these multi-agent platforms as a potential answer.Agent-Based Software Systems clarifies and positions efforts within the industrial agent domain, discussing the vision, assessment and roadmap applicable to multiple industries. The book offers not only an introduction to industrial agents, but also focuses the application of agent technology in industrial scenarios, discussing the vision, on-going efforts, example applications, and hands-on experiences on prototyping and deployment of industrial agents in industrial scenarios. This edited work will be guided and co-authored by multiple experts from the domain, including leaders of the IEEE Technical Committee on Industrial Agents.
