“…Concentrator agents represent group of agents, in order to encapsulate complex subsystems. An integration of the BEMI system, PowerMatcher and another MAS known as Magic, realized through a SOA, is proposed by Karnouskos et al [45]. Authors also performed a field testing of these three systems, publishing their results in another work [46].…”

The old electricity network infrastructure has proven to be inadequate, with respect to modern challenges such as alternative energy sources, electricity demand and energy saving policies. Moreover, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) seem to have reached an adequate level of reliability and flexibility in order to support a new concept of electricity network-the smart grid. In this work, we will analyse the state-of-the-art of smart grids, in their technical, management, security, and optimization aspects. We will also provide a brief overview of the regulatory aspects involved in the development of a smart grid, mainly from the viewpoint of the European Union.

AbstractComplexity Engineering encompasses a set of approaches to engineering systems which are typically composed of various interacting entities often exhibiting self-* behaviours and emergence. The engineer or designer uses methods that benefit from the findings of complexity science and often considerably differ from the classical engineering approach of “divide and conquer”.This article provides an overview on some very interdisciplinary and innovative research areas and projects in the field of Complexity Engineering, including synthetic biology, chemistry, artificial life, self-healing materials and others. It then classifies the presented work according to five types of nature-inspired technology, namely: (1) using technology to understand nature, (2) nature-inspiration for technology, (3) using technology on natural systems, (4) using biotechnology methods in software engineering, and (5) using technology to model nature. Finally, future trends in Complexity Engineering are indicated and related risks are discussed.

“…This tool was used in several followup projects, e.g., Integral and SmartHouse/SmartGrid projects. Integral focuses on the development of a MAS application to coordinate a cluster of devices to match its electricity supply and demand [56], and SmartHouse/SmartGrid utilized agent technology to autonomously monitor and control a power grid according to enterprise dynamically communicated needs [18,48,52]. In addition, for the last case, agents have been used for simulation of energy behaviors at system level e.g., smart grid cities [53].…”

“…MAS technology is being applied to several industrial applications in a CPS context, namely smart production (see for example [8,[11][12][13][14][15]), smart electric grids [16][17][18]), smart logistics [12]) and smart healthcare [19,20]). This section briefly surveys and discusses existing industrial agent-based applications focusing the smart production, smart electric grids, and smart logistics domains.…”

“…The More Microgrids project used MAS to implement the intelligent control of micro grid loads to maintain the balance between the energy demand and supply through a selective shedding of non-priority loads [18,52,55], and the Intelligent Distributed Autonomous Power Systems (IDAPS) project aims to supply the critical loads when a failure with the utility grid connection is detected [51]. The MASGrid project [57] applies MAS technology for the self-optimization in active power distribution grids aiming to reduce line losses and to maintain the power quality impacted by a high amount of fluctuating distributed generators.…”

Abstract-Future industrial systems can be realized using the Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) that advocate the co-existence of cyber and physical counterparts in a network structure to perform the system's functions in a collaborative manner. MultiAgent systems share common ground with CPS and can empower them with a multitude of capabilities in their efforts to achieve complexity management, decentralization, intelligence, modularity, flexibility, robustness, adaptation, and responsiveness. This work surveys and analyzes the current state of the industrial application of agent technology in CPS, and provides a vision on the way agents can effectively enable emerging CPS challenges.
