| Abstract [eng] |
The new trends in the market and business, new requirements of customers, short life cycle of products, e-business technologies require re-usable, distributed automation systems, that improve competitiveness of the business. The new requirements for the new control systems are the distribution and decentralisation of system units, knowledge and skills, definite communication mechanisms for the integration of distributed system units, the fast adaptation in the control and the reaction to disturbances (failures and changes of organization) and interaction between physical devices. After comparing both traditional approach and agent-based approach, it is possible to find out the benefits of each approach: platform independency, code re-usability, distribution and autonomy, plugging intelligence. |
