The aim of the doctoral thesis is to develop an approach to the multi-agent system development that ensures the improvement of supply chain management efficiency. The developed approach allows creating a multi-agent system that can be used for various supply chain participants, as it reviews main supply chain processes and tasks to be solved. Various inventory management methods were used in the developed multi-agent system: forecasting algorithms, ABC analysis, and inventory replenishment point determination. Production scheduling and rescheduling were also used in the multi-agent system to reduce the total production time.

The focus of this chapter is the explanation of a method for allowing languages to emerge within a multi-agent system. The need for such a method tends to be in larger multi-agent systems that focus either on large domains or span across multiple domains. This method can also be adapted for interfacing multi-agent systems with humans through natural languages. Also addressed in this chapter are the necessary requirements for a multi-agent system to utilize an evolving communication system. A specification of an evolving vocabulary is presented along with an explanation of results from an experiment that contains an implementation of these specifications.
