Abstract: Distributed control architectures are becoming increasingly popular because their modularity makes them easy to install, configure, and modify. These benefits do not come for free. A population of asynchronously executing processes without central top-down control can exhibit unexpected or "emergent" behavior at the system level. To the plant engineer, this behavior may look like noise or error conditions, but it is generated by deterministic interactions among control elements, not random... (Update)

...than command over centralized master slave structures. As a result, the behavior of the overall system is emergent rather than pre defined [12], and modeling is even more important in understanding and analyzing it. This paper reports on the results of a simple model of a...
