A hierarchical control system based on agent technology
Jie Dong, Yixin Yin, Kaixiang Peng · 2006
In this paper, we propose a multi-agent architecture for industrial control process and its software realization. We discuss the concepts and necessity of Distributed Intelligent Control (DIC) based on Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI) and Multi-agent System (MAS) respectively. A Multi-agent architecture for industrial control process is proposed. Moreover, function, components and their processing of every module in the architecture are discussed in detail. The object-oriented software structure is presented as well.
