Abstract
Our paper presents a new holonic coordination approach, which can be useful for the difficult case when more holons try to assign common resources. It is based on the Contract Net Protocol and this is combined with synchronous backtracking. The coordination scheme also implies an a priori established hierarchy of manager holons. The proposed method ensures a safe operation and was evaluated on a manufacturing scenario with four robots.
