....agents were developed. 4. PARTICLE ACCELERATOR CONTROL This section describes the ARCHON application which was developed at CERN, the world s largest high energy research institute, for controlling and diagnosing faults in one of their particle accelerators (called the Proton Synchrotron (PS) (Perriollat et al. 1993). The PS complex is the heart of CERN s accelerators and experimental facilities and also acts as an injector for the larger accelerators. Particle accelerators, in general, are complex systems which provide physicists with beams for their experiments they can be seen as a factory where particle ....

....technology because it has several features which are well suited to managing this inherent complexity. It offers a means of decomposing complex knowledge, assigning it to multiple processing entities (agents) and then recombining it, and adding value, through cooperative interactions (Perriollat and Skarek, 1993). A second motive for a DAI approach is that modern control systems for large accelerators are inherently decentralized and distributed. In CERN s current control system, for instance, there are a number 23 of heterogeneous subsystems including a database system which contains details of the ....
