The dynamics and throughput of a bucket brigade production system is studied when workersÕ speeds increase due to learning. It is shown that, if the rules of the bucket brigade s...
In a network of subassembly lines, balance becomes more difficult to achieve as it requires that all subassembly lines be synchronized to produce at the same rate. We show how to ...

Previous work on the dynamics of bucket brigades has focused on systems in which workers can be ordered with respect to their speeds and where this ordering does not change throug...
This paper investigates the adaptability of XCS in four different multiagent environments. The environments are realized in a simplified soccer game, and they include (1) singlea...
