“…In these cases, agents are an integration mechanism among systems designed separately (for example the ARCHON [8] architecture) or, like APACS [9], agents are designed as supervisors of the process. Some reasons for this lack of application can be found in [10]: automation applications need real-time requirements that are out of currently agent technology reach, difficult agent treatment about interrelations and lack of parallelism. Moreover, ontologies have even been less used in this discipline.…”

In this paper, a MAS for system identification and process control is presented. In particular, this MAS implements a self-tuning regulator (STR) scheme. It has adopted FIPA specifications because they have become a stronger standard in MAS development and they involve not only agent language specifications but also agent management and conversations. In this work, an Ontology Agent (OA) is included, using DAML+OIL as ontology language. The obtained results validate this approach in the implementation of well-known algorithms for control process.

This paper studies issues concerning the application of goal-oriented information agents to condition monitoring tasks in process automation. In the presented approach, an agent-based information access layer is operating as a mediator for various types of process-related information. The agent system may be seen as an active partner for human users in this information intensive application domain. In the future, more and more automation related information will be available in electronic form. Physical sensors provide not only measurements but also reliability information, and numerous configuration details are available in electronic form. The challenge is to integrate as much of the available information as possible, and to automate the processing of this information to enable easy decision-making for end users.

“…Nevertheless, researchers involved in process automation have not taken significantly advantage of this tool L2-4] . Some reasons for that can be found in [4]: automation applications need real-time requirements that are out of currently agent technology reach, difficult agent treatment about interrelations, lack of parallelism... The aim of this paper consists of presenting the development of a multiagent system oriented to process automation.…”
