Abstract:
A solution based on Multi-Agent Systems properties has been proposed. The presented structure is designed to Distributed Control System behaviour abstraction and encapsulation of the technical characteristics of its individual elements such as OPC (OLE for process control) servers. An ontology facilitating the creation of user interface for Multi-Agent System environment has been proposed. This ontology is based on a set of concepts and symbols understandable for the operator and the knowledge defining the hierarchical structure of object. Presented solution is not only a conception but it is a real, cross platform implementation based on the both Java and .Net programming platform. It practically shows how new programming solutions, tools and methodologies can be integrated and reused to solve real life, practical automation system problems.
