Abstract

Multi-agent system technology has achieved enough development level to be applied in complex problem domains, such as manufacturing systems. This work contributes to demonstrate this applicability, evaluating its goodness and lacks. Thus we have employed a production task scheduling problem in a ceramic tile factory as a real case study. This complex problem requires robust and flexible software applications.
