Abstract
The cooperation of hybrid agents is synthesized in this paper and applied to continuous manufacturing system. The hybrid agent makes a cooperation of continuous and discrete event devices possible. First Order Hybrid Petri Nets (FOHPN) are utilized in order to model the elementary autonomous hybrid agents. The cooperation of hybrid agents is based on the DES (discrete-event systems) control theory. It is realized by means of DES supervision methods and the agent negotiation. The proposed approach is illustrated in details on the cooperation of hybrid production lines in a real continuous manufacturing systems.
