Considering the gent-based modeling and mapping in m anufacturing system, in this paper, some system models are described, which are including: Domain Based Hierarchical Structure (DBHS), Cascading Agent Struc ture (CAS), Proximity Relation structure (PRS), and Bus-based network structure (BNS). In DBHS, one sort of agent individually delegates Domain Agents, Res ources Agents, UserInterface Agents and Gateway Agents and the other one is a br oker of tasks and process flow. Static agents representing a subsystem may itsel f be an agent network and should learn as the mobile agents to deal with new sit uation. Mobile agents move around the network domains taking advantage of th e resources to fulfill their goals. In CAS, we use Unified Modelling Language (U ML) to build up the agent-based manufacturing system It is said Enterprise agen t (main agent) has factory agents together with some directly jurisdictional wor kshop agents, cell agents, and individual resource agents. Likewise, factory age nt has workshop agents together with some directly jurisdictional cell agents an d individual resource agents, and so on. In PRS, the resources agents are locate d together by it function and abilities. There is only one agent acts as the tas k-announcer. The communication just occurs among the Proximity Relational agent s. In BNS, It is very similar with the society of human being connected with a n etwork, some agents, such as ’cost calculating’, are just cope with the matter- of-fact job. And some agents run as the individual resources which can negotiat e with each other and advertise a necessary message within the whole domain or g iven group of agents. The administration just relies on the individual addre ss of agents and the group ID code of agents.
