Abstract

The ARCHON ARchitecture for Cooperative Heterogeneous ON-Line systems project [9] is aiming to provide a distributed control system over existing industrial applications like Demand Management, Alarm Analysis, System Restoration Planning over huge networks i.e. the electricity distribution network. Those applications face the problem of distributed control since the control is spread all over the networks.

The paper explains the goals of ARCHON and describes in its first part the ARCHON platform by giving its architecture and implementation, while it is focused on two elements: the monitoring and the information management. In the second part the programming and debugging environment of the ARCHON platform is described through its four components: the agent instantiation tool, the Meta-data instantiation tool, the on-line tools and the data-browsing debug tools.

The work described has been carried out in the frame of the ESPRIT II project P2256 (ARCHON) whose partners are: Atlas Elektronik, JRC Ispra, Framentec-Cognitech, Labein, IRIDIA, Iberdrola, EA Technology, Amber, Tech. Univ. of Athens, Univ. of Amsterdam, CERN, Queen Mary and Westfield College, Univ. of Porto., and CAP-Volmac
