Abstract: In this paper, we describe the development of a holonic job shop scheduling system that is based on Object-Oriented (O-O) and Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) approaches. In particular, this paper focuses on the holonic architecture (created primarily for system analysis purposes), the multi-agent architecture (created primarily for system design purposes) and the agent platform (Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents Open Source (FIPA-OS)). On the basis of our experience with this development project, we then reflect on the approach and provide some suggestions for the developers of the holonic systems.
