GMAS-1DMCSP: Genetic multi-agent system for solving one-dimensional cutting stock problem with multiple stock sizes

Abstract

Multi-agent  systems  (MASs) as an emerging sub-field of  artificial intelligence  concern with interaction of agents to solve a common problem.  This paradigm has become more and more important in many aspects of computer science by  introducing the issues of distributed intelligence and interaction. They represent a  new way of analyzing, designing, and implementing complex software systems.  This paper introduces  a JADE-Based distributed Multi-agents system for solving One-Dimensional Cutting Stock Problem with Multiple Stock Sizes on the basis of the theoretical results presented in [1]. The system has effectively been operating in the industrial environment.
