Planning of work schedules through the use of a hierarchical multi-agent system

We propose a methodology to simulate every small task of a site-work with a multi-agent system. These agents handle resources as a way to perform transformations on their world. The system will simulate the construction of a building through the definition of the atomic elements of the system and the automatic recombination of these elements. This allows us to foresee parallel and sequential tasks and handle the creation of a graph, in the form of a Petri net, that facilitates the task of accurately planning the schedule of the site-work.

Research highlights
► Formal definition of a hierarchical multi-agent system.
► Automated creation of the planner agents.
► Agents are represented through Petri nets.
