Autonomic machine control: a case study

This paper describes an autonomic machine control system applied to the adaptive control of a modular soldering machine. The particular case concerns the creation of a novel modular production machine with an integrated distributed agent control system, which will be sold worldwide from mid 2008. The agent model is described in terms of the specific customer requirements and specific advantages of the approach discussed. Categories and Subject Descriptors I.2.11 [Distributed Artificial Intelligence]: Multiagent systems. Keywords Production machines, soldering, software agents, autonomic, control system, optimization.
