Abstract | Summary form only given. A major trend in manufacturing today is the shift from fixed, mass production to customized, flexible manufacturing. The emergence of the Internet and associated software standards is enabling smart production management in a manufacturing enterprise through the integration of the supply chain and customer demand with manufacturing. Such integration requires manufacturing systems to support information integration standards to establish the links between suppliers and customers, design and support, and the factory and enterprise. Future highly connected and networked manufacturing systems need to be robust and flexible. We will summarize learning from a decade of R&D in multi-agent systems to enable highly distributed, autonomous, efficiently cooperating, and asynchronously communicating units of automation. Multi-agent systems are useful in applications where the number of possible configurations for the equipment and control system are too large to accommodate in traditional programming. We will provide illustrative application examples to highlight the domain for the application of multi-agent systems in manufacturing, and conclude with a summary of challenges for widespread application of such systems for flexible manufacturing. |

Resource Type | Synopsis |
National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
