The characteristics of flexible job shop scheduling problem( FJSP) are analyzed, and a multiagent approach based on a tabu search method is proposed. The proposed model is composed of following three classes of agents: job agents, resource agents and interface agent. The interface agent contains the tabu search core. Tests are carried out with the same instances from the literature, and results show that the multiagent approach based on a tabu search method can efficiently solve FJSP.
