Three (3) PhD Positions in Engineering, University of Lorraine, France (2016)

This phd is dealing with hybrid control system in manufacturing and logistic systems.
The aim is to take advantages from a centralized control system as "ERP" (Entreprise Ressource Planning) and a distributed control system as Kanban method or the multi-agent applications. The main issue for researchers is then to find out the best switching mechanism in order to combine those approaches on the same architecture. The aim of this Phd is to propose new architectures based on simulation in order to integrate an efficient switching mecanism

Research Fields
