Abstract

This paper focuses on the important holonic manufacturing systems issue of automatic and dynamic adaptability to change at the physical machine level of control. We propose a model to support configuration and reconfiguration of real-time distributed control systems that is built upon recent models for distributed intelligent control and provide an example of its implementation on a real-time Java platform.
