“…This interpretation unveils the double facets of our interpretation of Holonic Systems that can be viewed both at an entity level (enrichment) and at a granular level (abstraction). Such twofold nature is in full accordance with the traditional holonic-based paradigm (Ulieru et al, 2002) and can be expressed in object-oriented notation as in Figure 3.1 While the concept of entity is quite intuitive and does not deserve further attention, the nuance of granule in our interpretation of Holonic Systems as supported by Claim 3.1 and 3.2 is indeed crucial for the following discussion.…”

“…This is done by adjusting the individual behavior to the overall goal of the network. Similar negative feedback is found in a holonic enterprise [23] that balances the autonomy of individual agents with the need to cooperate and compete to achieve the overall goal of the system.…”

Ubiquitous computing and communication environments connect systems and people in unprecedented ways, but also fundamentally challenge the mindset of traditional systems engineering. Complex techno-social systems exhibit spontaneous self-organization properties, based on decentralized interactions among a multitude of agents, that have preceded our ability as human designers to fully comprehend and control them. This should prompt us to steer away from managing details and, instead, focus on establishing the generic conditions for systems to develop and evolve under our guidance. In alignment with this paradigm shift we propose a methodological framework termed emergent engineering for deploying large-scale "eNetwork" systems, and illustrate it with self-organized security (SOS) scenarios. It involves an abstract model of programmable network self-construction in which nodes execute the same code, yet differentiate according to position. We illustrate these principles on a future application to SOS pointing to how this could lead to a new type of controllable self-organization, able to dynamically co-evolve the system with its environment.

“…In the engineering field, holonic solutions have also been shown to be essential for self-adapting and self-organising systems [Valckenaers et al 2008] such as traffic control [Fischer 1999], manufacturing [Ulieru et al 2002] and smart grids (subsection 4.6).…”

Designing the control infrastructure of future "smart" power grids is a challenging task. Future grids will integrate a wide variety of heterogeneous producers and consumers that are unpredictable and operate at various scales. ICT solutions will have to control these in order to attain global objectives at the macro-level, while also considering private interests at the micro-level. This paper proposes a generic holonic architecture to help the development of ICT control systems that meet these requirements. We show how this architecture can integrate heterogeneous control designs, including state-of-the-art smart grid solutions. To illustrate the applicability and utility of this generic architecture we exemplify its use via a concrete proof-of-concept implementation for a holonic controller, which integrates two types of control solutions and manages a multi-scale multi-objective grid simulator in several scenarios. We believe that the proposed contribution is essential for helping to understand, to reason about and to develop the "smart" side of future power grids.
