“…Moreover, we are also planning to show how our generic testing tool can be used for testing self-organizing MASs. The metrics for self-organization and emergence mechanisms for achieving self-*properties are given in recent works (Kaddoum et al, 2009 andRaibulet andMasciadri, 2009). We believe that the capabilities of our framework will be able to test and validate all the metrics given in these studies.…”

OATAO is an open access repository that collects the work of Toulouse researchers and makes it freely available over the web where possible. Agent-based modelling and simulation (ABMS) had an increasing attention during the last decade. However, the weak validation and verification of agent-based simulation models makes ABMS hard to trust. There is no comprehensive tool set for verification and validation of agent-based simulation models, which demonstrates that inaccuracies exist and/or reveals the existing errors in the model. Moreover, on the practical side, many ABMS frameworks are in use. In this sense, we designed and developed a generic testing framework for agent-based simulation models to conduct validation and verification of models. This paper presents our testing framework in detail and demonstrates its effectiveness by showing its applicability on a realistic agent-based simulation case study.

“…modularity and scalability. Raibulet et al [31] present several metrics for adaptivity from the perspective of computer science, classified according to architecture metrics, structural metrics, performance metrics and interaction metrics. Thereby, the main focus of architectural metrics lies on the costs of adaptivity.…”

“…The latter aspect is, in the following, adapted for production automation, formulated and evaluated. Regarding interaction Raibulet et al [31] distinguish between users, which are operators in our case, maintenance personnel and administrative interaction (engineering).…”

“…Therefore, in the following the performance metrics according to Raibulet et al [31] are adapted for the field of automation with focus on fault detection in real-time, since the adaption in an event of fault during runtime is mandatory in order to render the required quality of service in this respect as well. In the following we regard real-time techniques, which are able to identify faults, isolate faults and introduce countermeasures during runtime.…”

Industry 4.0 and Cyber Physical Production Systems (CPPS) are often discussed and partially already sold. One important feature of CPPS is fault tolerance and as a consequence self-configuration and restart to increase Overall Equipment Effectiveness. To understand this challenge at first the state of the art of fault handling in industrial automated production systems (aPS) is discussed as a result of a case study analysis in eight companies developing aPS. In the next step, metrics to evaluate the concept of self-configuration and restart for aPS focusing on real-time capabilities, fault coverage and effort to increase fault coverage are proposed. Finally, two different lab size case studies prove the applicability of the concepts of self-configuration, restart and the proposed metrics.
