| Resumo: | Multi-agent system (MAS) is being pointed out as a suitable technology to develop systems that demand flexibility, robustness and re-configurability. Consequently, a significant effort has been noticed to apply MAS to industrial domains exhibiting these characteristics, like manufacturing and smart grids. In spite of the adequacy of the MAS principles to solve the industrial requirements, the truly deployment of MAS for industrial applications is far to be solved. This paper discusses the current challenges for the deployment of MAS in the context of industrial applications, mainly focusing the integration of agents with physical equipment and the ability to run agents directly in industrial or low cost controllers. An experimental MAS solution for a smart grid case study was deployed aiming to support the discussion. |
