Abstract

In this paper, a new approach to dynamic reconfiguration of holon controllers is presented. Based on metamorphic mechanisms for distributed decision-making in agent-based manufacturing systems, the concept of the dynamic virtual cluster is extended to manufacturing process control at the lower levels. Event-driven dynamic clustering of resource control services and cooperative autonomous activities are emphasized in this approach
