Abstract
It is well known that manufacturing systems are complex, large-scale systems for a number of operational and structural reasons. This complexity makes such systems difficult to control and predict. Moreover, in order to meet the challenges of “new manufacturing” these systems will need to satisfy fundamental requirements such as [1, 4]: enterprise integration, distributed organization, heterogeneous environments, interoperability, open and dynamic structure, cooperation, integration of humans with software and hardware, agility, scalability, and fault tolerance.
