During the past years, a number of smart manufacturing concepts have been proposed, such as cloud manufacturing, Industry 4.0, and Industrial Internet. One of their common aims is to optimize the collaborative resource configuration across enterprises by establishing platforms that aggregate distributed resources. In all of these concepts, a complete manufacturing system consists of distributed physical manufacturing systems and a platform containing the virtual manufacturing systems mapped from the physical ones. We call such manufacturing systems platform-based smart manufacturing systems (PSMSs). A PSMS can therefore be regarded as a huge cyber-physical system with the cyber part being the platform and the physical part being the corresponding physical manufacturing system. A significant issue for a PSMS is how to optimally schedule the aggregated resources. Multi-agent technology provides an effective approach for solving this issue. In this paper we propose a multi-agent architecture for scheduling in PSMSs, which consists of a platform-level scheduling multi-agent system (MAS) and an enterprise-level scheduling MAS. Procedures, characteristics, and requirements of scheduling in PSMSs are presented. A model for sched-uling in a PSMS based on the architecture is proposed. A case study is conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed architecture and model.

The concept of affordances appeared in psychology during the late 60s, as an alternative perspective on the visual perception of the environment. More precisely, the term affordances was introduced by J. J. Gibson in 1966 [items 1)-3) of the Appendix]. Gibson defines the affordances of an object as “what it offers the animal, what it provides or furnishes, either for good or ill.” What the objects afford to the agent are action possibilities that are directly perceived through vision, in a precategorical and subconscious way, without the need to construct a fully detailed model of the world or to perform semantic reasoning or explicit object recognition. Central to Gibson’s theory is the notion that the sensorimotor capabilities of the agent dramatically influence perception: the concept of affordances is “something that refers to both the environment and the animal in a way that no existing term does. It implies the complementarity of the animal and the environment.” Notably, the human ability to perceive affordances emerges gradually during development, and it is the outcome of exploratory and observational learning; as this ability appears, predicting the effects of the actions becomes possible as well, eventually leading to problem solving skills.
We explore the problem of inferring the graph Laplacian of a weighted, undirected network from snapshots of a single or multiple discrete-time consensus dynamics, subject to parameter uncertainty, taking place on the ...
