MOBILE REPORTING FOR DATA ANALYSIS IN INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION SYSTEM

摘要

In morden power systems and other industrial concerns, a large quantity of data is produced by condition monitoring and control systems. this data is used for a variety of purposes, and if often distributed over a number of sites. this device describes part of a prototype system which combines mobile agents with a foundation for intelligent physical agents (FIPA)-based multi-agent system to provide remote analysis and reporting functions for data stored in power substation databases. a model of mobile agent performance in this application is derived, and a number of experimental resultsn regarding the relative performance of mobile agent and static client-server agents are presented. these results suggest that in certain circumstances mobile agents have the potential to greatly increase the performance of this application. a comparison between using wrapper agents and direct database access for data retrieval is also performed
