Abstract:In this paper, we summarize advantages of using agent technology in the design and operation of industrial control systems. To support appropriate responses to dynamically generated events, we divided the agent operation into two main levels: planning and real-time control. A higher-level software agent covers the planning phase and low-level distributed control agent provides the real-time control. The proposed architecture is targeted on applications where real-time response is essential but also more sophisticated higher-level control mechanisms are needed for efficient control. An implementation of such system is briefly described.

“…There are several architectures to accomplish this search. Examples of such approaches can be found in the Blackboard, Matchmaker, Brokering System, Mediator, Federated, and Acquaintance Models Architectures [Shen 2001]. Consistent with the FIPA standard, we use a Matchmaker-based architecture which is based on Directory Facilitators (DF).…”

“…The components employ models of primitive device behavior and enable agents to act on behalf of physical devices or complex processes. The approach of establishing application-specific agent behavior in a reusable and scalable manner finds counterparts in other research activities such as Multi-agent Systems (MAS), Autonomous Agents, Flexible Manufacturing, and Virtual Enterprise [Shen 2001 (Figure 2). …”
