Formal and modelling frameworks for Social Holonic Control Architectures

Abstract

For decades now, manufacturing systems have grown in size and complexity. Between new consumption habits and hypercompetitive markets, manufacturing systems have started a race towards the industry of the future. Still, many technological and societal issues are paving their way: connectivity, resilience and human integration being among the most critical ones. The idea of this paper is to bring a new framework to help answering these issues by bringing resilience to systems, improving their interoperability, enhancing Data acquisition, transmission & processing, enabling the establishment hierarchical levels among agents, or by facilitating the system acceptance by human agents and the human integration within the system. To this end, this article brings a new formal framework for Social Holonic Control Architectures, based on an analysis of the existing literature. An UML-based modelling framework will equally be proposed to ease understanding and implementation of this new Social Holonic Control Architecture, illustrated by a concrete application on a small-scale Multi-Agent System.

Análisis comparativo de la vivienda social en las ciudades de Passo Fundo (Brasil) y Tunja (Colombia) desde una perspectiva de diseño resiliente

“…Consequentemente, uma arquitetura social que impede o exercício da liberdade oferecendo instrumentos ou condições para a escolha livre destoa das condições de equidade distanciando-se na justiça, da democracia e do desenvolvimento humano e social (Valette et al, 2021). Especificamente, a concentração das políticas públicas de desenvolvimento no crescimento econômico impede uma visão alargada das necessidades humanas e condena parte da população às situações degradantes, necessitando de uma habitação no ambiento da sociedade (Kouadio & Gakpa, 2022).…”

Social Dimensions in CPS & IoT Based Automated Production Systems

“…It encompasses the definition of Society 5.0 already referred above. Valette et al [65] have proposed a transposition of those relationships to a Social Holonic Manufacturing control in CPS based factories It was defined by Shi and Zhuge (Figure 12) as a 'Cyber-Physical Socio-Ecosystem' (CPSE) where natural physical space, social space, mental space and cyberspace interact and co-evolve with each other [59]. CPSE deals with the relationships between individuals in a cyber-physical environment and cyber-physical social system.…”
