Sommario/riassunto

Modern production systems have become more flexible and agile. For them, a suitable control and planning method is needed. Agent-based systems offer the required characteristics. The contributions of these work are a remodeling of the Shifting Bottleneck heuristic to include limited buffers, the development of a decentralized multi-agent system for production planning, and the adaptation of the heuristic to the agent system. It concludes with evaluations of real-world production systems.

Sommario/riassunto

Written by an individual with experience as both a chemist and a patent attorney, The Chemist's Companion Guide to Patent Law covers everything the student or working chemist needs to know about patentability, explaining important concepts of patent law (such as novelty, non-obviousness, and freedom-to-operate) in easy-to-understand terms. Through abundant examples from case law as well as real-world situations with which a researcher might be faced, this book provides readers with a better understanding of how to put that



knowledge into practice.
