Abstract
A framework is presented, supporting calculation tasks specific to the control theory, allowing for a consolidation of theory-based calculations with real-world control systems by means of hardware sensors and actuators. A networking protocol was designed specifically for this task, employing producer-distributor-consumer data distribution scheme over Ethernet network to enable synchronised execution of spatially distributed mathematical models implemented as intelligent blackboard-based agent system, in order to properly cooperate with sampled real-world continuous dynamical systems. Comprehensive data on internal structure of distributed system is available by monitoring web service, so it is possible to integrate framework’s output in other software.
