Application of the Holonic Approach in Distributed Control Systems Designing

  • Conference paper
Holonic and Multi-Agent Systems for Manufacturing (HoloMAS 2007)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 4659))

Abstract

Design of a multidisciplinary project is a complicated process requiring cooperation of different designers specialized in particular branches of engineering. The paper proposes a holonic approach to testify that a solution of distributed control systems is compliant with dynamically changing technology rules with ontology-based decomposition. The proposed holarchy includes a multi-agent system considering also its hybrid control architecture connected with a self-organization database. The proposed approach was implemented for a biotechnological pilot-plant continuously working as a platform for several process investigations.
