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.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
From the reviews:
"This book provides a good introductory treatment of multiagent technology and production control systems. . This book also provides useful and timely references for manufacturing control engineers, computer scientists, and other researchers who are interested in studying multiagent systems and manufacturing control. . In conclusion, this book is well organized and easy to read. . This book is also an excellent reference to many of research efforts currently under way addressing various aspects of agent-based manufacturing control." (Dr. J. Ren, Robotica, Vol. 23, 2005)
"This is another book in the Springer Series on Agent Technology . . An excellent reference section finally completes, with a book index, an essential text for anyone working in this field. . All new methodology such as DACS deserves to be introduced in a competent manner and there is no doubt that the authors have achieved their aims and also their stated goal of enabling a control engineer with little experience to-apply successfully the results of their researches." (D. M. Hutton, Kybernetes, Vol. 35 (9), 2006)
