Multiagent Systems for Manufacturing Control: A Design MethodologyPaperback, 8 December 2010

Developed at DaimlerChrysler's research labs in Berlin, DACS (Designing Agent-based Control Systems) is the first methodology specifically produced for the design of agent-based control systems. Beginning with a detailed overview of agent technologies, manufacturing control, and design methodologies, the book explains the DACS methodology and illustrates it by way of detailed case studies. The book will be of interest to researchers and practitioners in agent systems, manufacturing control, and software methodologies.
