A decentralized management system based on multi-agent model

The aim of the paper is the development of the new approach to designing a decentralized management system which performs the exchanges of industrial resources based on the model of collective behavior of intelligent agents. The results of the construction of a multi-agent architecture for the computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) management system are represented. The abstract intelligent agents underlay this model. Theirs interaction and activities determine a required intelligent behavior of the whole multi-agent system. These agents realize the creation of some required types of resources and interchange by them for reaching of the global purpose of the production system. For the research of interacting agents the intelligent simulation tools were used.
