Abstract
It is well known now that MAS are particularly adapted to deal with distributed and dynamic environment. The management of business workflow, data flow or flexible job shop manufacturing systems is typically a good application field for them. This kind of application requires flexibility to face with changes on the network. In the context of FMS, where products and resources entities can be seen as active, this paper presents an application of the volatile knowledge concept to the management of a flexible assembly cell. We illustrate our proposition on an emulator of the flexible assembly cell in our university.
