Abstract
In this paper recent results on intelligent communication protocols (ICP) tailored for applications within flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) are presented. These have been derived on the grounds of the concept of ICP emulation by using the technique of object oriented modelling and emulation programming. The resulting ICP have been tested through their application in parallel simulation of complex medium size FMS. Developed models have been derived using three alternatives: math-analytical queue, adequate Petri-net, and appropriate object-oriented models. Some of simulations results obtained illustrate this novel development in ICPs for FMSs. Copyright ©2001 IFAC
