“…This resulted, in combination with applying ARTI to smart energy, in a correct positioning of D-MAS as a decision making technology (green) rather than part of some digital twin (blue). He also suggested modifying the original ARTI cube (Valckenaers, 2019), which has been further enhanced in this paper.…”

Looking back at 30 years of research into holonic manufacturing systems, these explorations made a lasting scientific contribution to the overall architecture of intelligent manufacturing systems. Most notably, holonic architectures are defined in terms of their world-of-interest (Van Brussel, 1998). They do not have an information layer, a communication layer, etc. Instead, they have components that relate to real-world assets (e.g. machine tools) and activities (e.g. assembly). And, they mirror and track the structure of their world-of-interest, which allows them to scale and adapt accordingly. This research has wandered around, at times learning from its mistakes, and progressively carved out an invariant structure while it translated and applied scientific insights from complex-adaptive systems theory (e.g. autocatalytic sets) and from bounded rationality (e.g. holons). This paper presents and discusses the outcome of these research efforts.At the top level, the holonic structure distinguishes intelligent beings (or digital twins) from intelligent agents. These digital twins inherit the consistency from reality, which they mirror. They are intelligent beings when they reflect what exists in the world without imposing artificial limitations in this reality. Consequently, a conflict with a digital twin is a conflict with reality.In contrast, intelligent agents typically transform NP-hard challenges into computations with lowpolynomial complexity. Unavoidably, this involves arbitrariness (e.g. don't care choices). Likewise, relying on case-specific properties, to ensure an outcome in polynomial time, usually renders the validity of an agent's choices both short-lived and situation-dependent. Here, intelligent agents create conflicts by imposing limitations of their own making in their world-of-interest.Real-world smart systems are aggregates comprising both intelligent beings and intelligent agents. They are performers. Inside these performers, digital twins may constitute the foundations, supporting walls, support beams and pillars because these intelligent beings are protected by their real-world counterpart. Further refining the top-level of this architecture, a holonic structure enables these digital twins to shadow their real-world counterpart whenever it changes, adapts and evolves.In contrast, the artificial limitations, imposed by the intelligent agents, cannot be allowed to build up inertia, which would hamper the undoing of arbitrary or case-specific limitations. To this end, performers explicitly manage the rights over their assets. Revoking such rights from a limitationimposing agent will free the assets. This will be at the cost of reduced services from the agent. When other service providers rely on this agent, their services may be affected as well; that's how the inertia builds up and how harmful legacy is created. Thus, the services of digital twins are to be preferred over the services of an intelligent agent by developers of holonic manufacturing systems.Finally, digital twins corresponding to...

“…In [58], the author discusses the history of PROSA and presents its evolution named ARTI -Activity Resource Type Instance. ARTI makes a strong separation between the Intelligent Agents and Intelligent Beings, emphasizing the fact that the Intelligent Beings are describing what is more than what is decided.…”

In the framework of the SOHOMA 2020 special session "SOHOMA 10 th -year anniversary", this paper aims to make a review of the evolution of one important concept studied in the SOHOMA community, namely the Intelligent Product concept. This paper is not review of Intelligent Products -there are several of these already -but rather examines the history of the development of this concept through the 1 st to 9 th editions of SOHOMA, while also proposing future developments on this concept.

Many initiatives aim at describing the objectives and functionalities of the so-called digital twin of manufacturing systems. Considering the assets, the twin is meant to be able to both exhibit the actual and current states of the resources, and provide some estimates about the future behavior of these resources. To target the sustainability pillar of future industrial systems, the energy monitoring and management are critical issues. Consequently, the integration of multiphysics models helping to model the resources inside the twin is a major issue to deal with. This article intends to introduce a framework integrating the models inside the twin of the ARTI architecture, propose a methodology to implement the twin on a resource and illustrate these on a case study on injection molding machines.
