Abstract
BDI reasoning mechanism is a well known AI inference approach. Even so, its use in solving the deliberative phase of holonic agents within Holonic Manufacturing Execution Systems still raises open problems. This paper presents the main issues on applying the BDI mechanism in a new holonic structure named HAPBA, which is an instantiation of PROSA reference architecture. The appropriate Petri net models are presented, allowing the analysis of the holonic scheme performance.
