Abstract. Semiconductor manufacturing is a highly complex and asset intensive process. Solutions are needed to automate control of equipment and improve efficiency. We describe a symbiotic simulation control system which uses reactive what-if analysis to find a stable configuration of a wet bench tool set. This control system is based on a generic framework for symbiotic simulation. We show that symbiotic simulation can be used to make control decisions in near real-time. Furthermore, we show that our approach yields a notable performance improvement over common practise.

“…This interpretation of capability as ability follows [19], in which the notion of capability is investigated in the context of BDI logic. In agent programming, capabilities have been introduced as a modularisation construct [4,5] comparable to modules in GOAL. Capabilities allow for packaging a subset of beliefs, plans, and goals into an agent module and to reuse this module wherever needed.…”

Agreeing on Role Adoption in Open Organisations

The organisational specification of a multi-agent system supports agents' effectiveness in attaining their purpose, or prevent certain undesired behaviour from occurring. This requires that agents are able to find out about the organisational purpose and description and decide on its appropriateness for their own objectives. Organisational modeling languages are used to specify an agent system in terms of its roles, organizational structure, norms, etc. Agents take part in organisations by playing one or more of the specified roles for which they have the necessary capabilities.In this paper, we investigate the process of role adoption in the context of the well-known OperA organisational modelling language. In OperA, each organisation has a gatekeeper role responsible for admitting agents to the organisation. Agents playing the role of gatekeeper can interact with agents that want to enter the organisation in order to come to agreement on role adoption. That is, negotiate which roles they will play and under which conditions they will play them. This is possible by evaluating capability requirements for roles. We extend OperA to allow for the specification of role capabilities. This approach will be illustrated using the Blocks World for Teams (BW4T) domain.

“…These IT capabilities are developed over time through a series of linked strategic decisions about investments in IT in parallel with development of organizational processes and knowledge [10]. Busetta et al provide an agent-based formalization of capability and define capability as a cluster of plans, beliefs, events and scoping rules of them [31]. Prahalad and Hamel defined capability as "communication, involvement, and a deep commitment to working across organizational boundaries.…”

Value of digital information networks: a holonic framework

2011

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The worldwide extraordinary level of interest in digital information networks' deployment among nations is due to the strong perception that they bring economic, social and environmental value. Our literature review on studies aiming at clarifying the value of information networks, led us to conclude that these studies take speculative, elusive or limited conclusions. We identify the requirements to capture the value of information networks and indicate a possible theoretical ground to account for it. Based upon this, we propose a framework operationalized with data from Eurostat. Furthermore, we identify the added-value of our framework with a precise and comprehensive comparison with two state of the art reference frameworks. We demonstrate that our framework provides significant conceptual addedvalue and, more fundamentally, allows for traditional measures of economic value (e.g. productivity and growth), as well as for other measures of value (e.g. social and environmental). Finally, we demonstrate with examples the wider application range of our framework in comparison with existing work.
