Adaptive Simulation of Automated Guided Vehicle Systems Using Multi Agent Based Approach for Supplying Materials

Article Preview

Abstract:

Application of agent based approaches is frequent in systems with artificial intelligence. This method has been used in simulations as well, however application in this field is rather novel. The paper surveys formation possibilities of agent based structures in the simulation of an example material flow systems. Further, considerations are also presented, how these models can be made adaptive, which makes them capable of continuously modify their features to the modeled physical system. Finally a framework for a proposed modeling problem is introduced.
