Abstract

This paper describes how Software Agents technology can be used to increase the reliability of a control system. Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems are established as means to exercise supervisory control over an industrial process. Software Agent technology can improve SCADA systems as it allows distribution, which inherently promotes redundancy, and modularity, which promotes versatility.
