Abstract:- This article presents a design approach for control and supervision systems of industrial processes based on intelligent agents. First, the general platform supporting the whole multi-agent system for control and supervision is defined. From there, applica-tions are conceived like specialized multi-agent systems to coordinate, execute and evaluate control and supervision tasks needed for the distributed information processing and decision-making. The production units in industrial environments are also modeled as multi-agent systems implementing the logical and functional abstraction of the real processes. In this way, cooperation and negotiation for improving the production performance are achieved through the adequate interaction between the agents community.
