【 摘 要 】

In order to depict internal mechanism of complex adaptive agent system and improve capabilities of computer-assisted modelling, a new modelling approach is presented by the combination of Time Petri Net (TPN) and multi-agent technology. In the methods, agent is viewed as basic modelling element and Petri net is used to describe the static rules of agent. Because of the TPN model combining the advantages of time Petri net and multi-agent technology, the state space explosion of complex adaptive agent system is prevented. As an example, the crane scheduling system is defined as complex adaptive agent system. The results that proposed system can complete scheduling task of the steel-making continuous casting and provide guidance for optimizing production systems and exploring operation mechanism.
