摘要：

Inspired by the collective behaviour of ant colonies, a stigmergic cooperation mechanism for shop floor control is proposed. In stigmergic shop floor control systems, one piece agent takes charges of one work piece and chooses a manufacturing resource for it in the light of pheromones stored in information environment. Piece agents also update these pheromones to guide subsequent agents' routing. Experiments confirm that a stigmergic cooperation mechanism has an excellent scheduling performance in a static environment, good suitability for the stochastic machining-time problem and good adaptability to shop floor changes.
