Purpose: Development of the decision making architecture for the multi-agent societies with temporal restrictions. General ideas for the necessary architecture based on the blackboard one is presented. Design/methodology/approach: Fuzzy logic approach that makes it possible to reach suboptimal solutions within the acceptable timeframe. Development of the relevant systems calls for compiling the experience gathered over the years in the system served by human ‘agents’. Multiagent systems negotiation needs were analysed and cooperation issues in the form of clustering, cloning, and learning were analysed in search for the relevant tools. Findings: Detailed review of the approach to development of the agent based Intelligent Manufacturing from the fundamental considerations to the latest hands-on developments. Research limitations/implications: Many presented technologies call for detailed study before they can be implemented in practice. Originality/value: Analysis of the local interactions among agents meeting the real-time reaction requirements.
