Holonic manufacturing systems requires a robust and effective mechanism to reorganize available resources to cope with uncertainties to achieve the production goal. This paper combines the contract net protocol and Petri net to adaptively synthesize Petri net to control holonic manufacturing systems. The main results include: (1)a multi-agent model for holonic manufacturing systems based on contract net protocol, (2)a collaboration network formation process to reorganize resources to accomplish a task, (3)a collaborative Petri net model of collaborative networks and (4)characterization of liveness conditions to award contracts in multi-agent systems.
