A Multiagent Model for Intelligent Distributed Control Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
One approach for automating industrial processes is a Distributed Control System (DCS) based on a hierarchical architecture. In this hierarchy, each level is characterized by a group of different tasks to be carried out within the control system and by using and generating different information. In this article, a reference model for the development of Intelligent Distributed Control Systems based on Agents (IDCSA) inspired by this hierarchical architecture is presented. The agents of this model are classified in two categories: control agents and service management environment agents. To define these agents we have used an extension of the MAS-Common KADS methodology for MultiAgent Systems (MAS).

Agent-Based Distributed Resource Allocation in Continuous Dynamic Systems
The automation of complex large-scale systems is one of the most challenging tasks of modern control engineering. Such systems comprise a huge number of spatially distributed subsystems with both frequent and infrequent interactions, resulting in a complex overall behavior. In addition, numerous disturbances can occur leading to a high degree of uncertainty. The automation of such systems there...

متن کاملToward Distributed Context-Mediated Behavior for Multiagent Systems
Although much attention has been devoted to modeling and using context in intelligent agents, relatively little has been given to the problem for multiagent systems (MASs). Yet, just as with an individual agent, context affects how a MAS should behave. In this paper, we discuss an approach to distributed context management for multiagent systems. The approach is based on earlier work on context...
متن کاملA Formal Approach for the Modelling and Verification of Multiagent Plans Based on Model Checking and Petri Nets
Multiagent systems are characterized by decentralized control and agents that perform autonomous actions. The sequence of such actions are generally described by plans. An important issue in this context is how to verify the correctness of plans when agents have unpredicted actions. In this paper, formal modelling and verification guidelines to verify nondeterministic multiagent system plans ar...
