Multi-agent team formation and execution for a holonic palletizing scenario

This work presents in a structured manner the intelligent agent Belief Desire Intention (BDI) strategy enhancements applied in team programming and offers a practical multi-agent solution for a holonic assembling system. Standing with the advantages of the dynamic intentions reconsideration for reasoning goal oriented process at the individual agent level, the paper point out the mechanism of agent aggregation during team formation in multi-agent programming. It also argues the analogy team-holon and offers an example of a control and coordination multi-agent system for a holonic assembling process. The implementation was made in Goal ORIented TEams framework (GORITE), a multi-agent platform that supports team formation and goal based execution.
