PMS and MAS , can contribute into a Organization
Property Management Systems (PMS)
In the highly competitive hospitality industry, it is the intangibles that encourage guests to spend more, provide positive feedback and return to the property in the future. The most powerful of these intangibles is service. No amount of hiring, training or incentives can ensure top-notch service if employees don’t have appropriate systems providing information at their fingertips. In addition, as properties incorporate more services and amenities, the need to integrate these functions becomes increasingly challenging – and important.
Technology has raised the bar, and any department of organization is at the forefront of this change with guest-centric solutions that help you tap into new revenue streams and serve your guests in creative new ways. PMS now offers three property management systems, each of which is designed to meet the unique needs of a specific segment of the hospitality industry. Our systems automate every aspect of hotel operations at one or multiple properties and enable you to enhance the guest experience and maximize your profits. Agilysys property management systems are used by leading properties throughout the world and are particularly well suited for hotel casinos, full-service resorts, multi-site enterprises, convention centers, condominiums and much more.
All the operations like booking & reservations, check-ins, checkouts etc. are available on screen and can becarried out through a few clicks of mouse. Therefore, the overall efficiency of the hotel staff and the management system is increased by the PMS.
MULTI-AGENT SYSTEM ( MAS )
Multi-agent systems are applied in the real world to graphical applications such as computer games, Organization, Subject etc. . Agent systems have been used in film alsos. They are also used for coordinated defence systems. Other applications include transportation, logistics, graphics,as well as in many other fields. It is widely being advocated for use in networking and mobile technologies, to achieve automatic and dynamic load balancing, high scalability, and self-healing networks.
Although MAS is provide many potential advantages, they also present many difficult challenges. Here, I present problems inherent in the design and implementation of Multi - Agent System. The list of challenges includes problems first the inconvenient information about the organization it help to the company or an organization .It provides a framework for agent interactions through the definition of roles, behavior expectations, and authority relations.Organizations are general, conceptualized in terms of their structure, that is the pattern of information and control relations that exist among agents and the distribution of problemsolving capabilities among them. In cooperative problem solving
Market Control
Multi- Agent System can distributed to the agents that compete for tasks or resources through bidding and contractual mechanisms. Agents interact through one variable, price, which is used to value services Agents coordinate through mutual adjustment of prices.
Managing Resources
Another critical issue is effective allocation of limited resources to multiple agents. For example, we have all experienced large time lags in response to internet queries because of network congestion.
Multiagent System Applications
The first MAS applications appeared in the mid-1980s and increasingly cover a variety of domains, ranging from manufacturing to process control, airtraffic control, and information management. I give here a few representative examples. For a more detailed description of agent-based applications One of the earliest MAS applications was distributed vehicle monitoring (DVMT) (Durfee 1996, 1987; Durfee and Lesser 1989), where a set of geographically distributed agents monitor vehicles that pass through their respective areas, attempt to come up with interpretations of what vehicles are passing through the global area, and track vehicle movements. The DVMT
