Agent-based technology has been taken as an important approach for developing advanced manufacturing systems. Learning is one of the key techniques for implementing such systems. This paper proposes some learning issues in agent-based manufacturing systems for further discussion in the working group. As examples, the paper describes two implemented learning mechanisms and presents some experimental results in an agent-baseat manufacturing system.
