Abstract(s)
Industrial agent technologies have been integrated
in key elements coupling industrial systems and software logic,
which is an important issue in the design of cyber-physical
systems. Although several efforts have been tried out over the
last decades to integrate software agents with physical hardware
devices, and some commonalities can be observed among the
existing practices, there is no uniform way overall. This work
presents an empirical survey of existing practices in three application
area, namely factory automation, power & energy systems
and building automation. It identifies pertaining common issues
and discusses how they integrate low level automation functions
by utilizing industrial agents. The surveyed practices reveal high
diversity, customized traditional integration focusing mostly on
I/O functions, without security, and an overall approach that is
mostly coupled rather than embedded.
