Abstract

In order to minimize disturbance impact in complex organizations, a distributed scheduling repair method based on agent modelling approach and new cooperative repair behaviours between modelled actors are proposed. Repair operations and repair strategies are redefined, and illustrated on a case study in organization of building site, where the proposed multiagent model is isomorphic to the actual organization. The resulting multiagent system operates the repair behaviours in order to determine the solution which minimizes the disturbance impact on the system using JADE platform.
