Abstract

This paper introduces a possibility of integration of Distributed Control System (DCS) by Multi-Agent System (MAS). Proposed solution is based on Java Agent Development (JADE) framework a Java based tool that supports creation of FIPA (Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents) compliant agents. In the proposed Multi-Agent heterogeneous system the OPC plays an important role as a powerful communication technology especially dedicated for real-time DCS. Presented agents are capable of sharing their knowledge with other agents; they are capable of accomplishing tasks according to actual environment conditions. Proposed solution of the MAS implementation is a highly efficient, scalable and robust it utilizes mobility in order to ensure cooperativeness during distributed problem solving task. Finally, it has been proved that assumed Multi-Agent System considerably improves system quality, accuracy and reliability.
