Current automation systems need to be able to cope with the continuously changing requirements of the applications in terms of complexity, extensibility and dynamism. To match these challenging requirements, modern automation systems need to incorporate new software engineering techniques. These techniques must provide to the automation systems additional abilities such as diagnosis and reconfiguration. This paper describes an approach for the design of a Multi-Agent System (MAS) based supervisory architecture towards the design of reconfigurable automation systems; the reconfigured system will meet Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. In particular, in this paper the core of the supervisory architecture is presented. It is based on refreshing states and moving functionalities among the Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). Besides, the agents negotiate if a PLC failure is detected.

Modern manufacturing systems are expected to be flexible and efficient in order to cope with challenging market demands. Thus, they must be flexible enough as to meet changing requirements such as changes in production, energy efficiency, performance optimization, fault tolerance to process or controller faults, among others. Demanding requirements can be defined as a set of quality of service (QoS) requirements to be met. This paper proposes a generic and customizable multi-agent architecture that, making use of distributed agents, monitors QoS, triggering, if needed, a reconfiguration of the control system to recover QoS. As a proof of concept, the architecture has been implemented to provide availability of the control system understood as service continuity. The prototype has been tested in a case study consisting of an assembly cell where assessment of the approach has been conducted.
