Distributed control systems integration and management with an ontology-based multi-agent system

摘要

The purpose of this study is to create,analyze and reuse an ontology-based approach during implementation of a multi-agent system(MAS)capable of integrating different elements of a distributed control system(DCS).Ontology is considered as knowledge about a particular domain.It includes static description of the domain's structure and properties,by means of which it is possible to define the domain's dynamic states,transitions between those states and conditions of those transitions.Because of that,it is possible to analyze such ontology in terms of modal logic in predicate logic settings.
