  7. Abstract:
  8. Nowadays, one of the most challenging issues concerning the manufacturing industries is the shortage of available resources and their increased costs. As a matter of the fact, for these industries, optimizing the processes is not something to be ignored and one of the most important goals is reducing the costs of manufacturing and increasing the profits of sales. On the other hand, in actual situations, due to the complexities of optimization problem and numerous calculations, the classical methods would be limited to very simplistic cases in which most of the practical changes are ignored. In such problems, the need to use strong optimization techniques like the genetic algorithm is evident and it seems to be absolutely beneficial to use these algorithms in platforms which are capable of parallel processing and agent based computing. In this project, the object oriented, agent based optimizing platform for increasing the speed of optimization process has been implemented and verified by various test functions. At the end of this work, the designed platform was assessed in determining the optimum scenario of the output pressures of the compressors exist in a gas transmission system. In this problem, the bottleneck of optimization is assessment of the objective function which depends on the dynamic behavior of the gas transmission system. The platform has successfully calculated the goal function in a parallel form and noticeably decreased the required time for optimization
