....imaging data [54] electricity distribution management [31] air traffic control [34] business process management [29] electronic commerce [26] and computer games [25] to name a few. Moreover, significant commercial and industrial research and development efforts have been underway for some time [9, 11, 44, 45], and are set to grow further. However, the field of agents and multi agent systems is still relatively young, and there are many problems that may have a potentially deleterious impact on the progress of the area. These problems have arisen primarily through the lack of a common structure and ....

.... 2 New Control Approach Architecture The multi agent systems are suitable to the distributed manufacturing environment, since the manufacturing applications presents characteristics like modular, decentralised, changeable, ill structured and complex, for what the agents are best suited to solve [21]. Analysing the benefits of multi agent technology it is possible to conclude that fulfil some of requirements defined in section 2: autonomy (an agent can operate without the direct intervention of external entities, and has some kind of control over their behaviour) cooperation (the agents ....

.... Architecture Platform The multi agent systems are a suitable approach to the distributed manufacturing environment, since the manufacturing applications present characteristics like modular, decentralised, changeable, ill structured and complex functions, for what the agents are best suited (Parunak, 1998). It is possible to analyse some requirements, defined in section 2, and compare them with the benefits of multi agent technology: Autonomy (and modularity) An agent can operate without the direct intervention of external entities, such as humans, and has some kind of control over their ....

....tables, PLC devices and sensors. The multi agent technology is suitable to the distributed manufacturing environment, since the automation and manufacturing applications characteristics like modular, decentralised, changeable, ill structured and complex, are best suited for agents to solve [10]. Analysing the benefits of multi agent technology it is possible to conclude that they overcome problems presented by traditional approaches: autonomy (an agent can operate without the direct intervention of external entities, and has some kind of control over their behaviour) cooperation (the ....

....still an effort to provide a sound conceptual foundation despite the onward march of applications development. Indeed, while there are still disagreements over the nature of agents themselves, significant commercial and industrial research and development efforts have been underway for some time [3, 4, 5, 6], and are set to grow further. A recurrent theme that is raised in one form or another at many agent conferences and workshops is the lack of agreement over what it is that actually constitutes an agent. It is difficult to know if this is a help or hindrance, but the truth is that it is probably ....

....interactions. For instance, the Gaia methodology [16] analyzes a system in terms of roles and interactions, and produces a design around the services that individual agents perform and the acquaintances of each agent. The binary distinction characterizes our own ontology of agent applications [7, 9], and is reflected in Jennings distinction between the knowledge level and social level in agent systems [4] Holarchic [14] and compositional [1] approaches emphasize that more layers can exist than just agent and system, and discuss interactions as the mechanism by which entities at one ....
