“…Relational Model Multi-Agent System (RMAS) [38] is a database-centric approach for multi-agent systems suitable for the embodiment of reasoning and control in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). Initial implementation of RMAS is proposed by the coupling of the Matlab environment and the SQLite database language.…”

Intelligent and autonomous agents is a subarea of symbolic artificial intelligence where these agents decide, either reactively or proactively, upon a course of action by reasoning about the information that is available about the world (including the environment, the agent itself, and other agents). It encompasses a multitude of techniques, such as negotiation protocols, agent simulation, multi-agent argumentation, multi-agent planning, and many others. In this paper, we focus on agent programming and we provide a systematic review of the literature in agent-based programming for multi-agent systems. In particular, we discuss both veteran (still maintained) and novel agent programming languages, their extensions, work on comparing some of these languages, and applications found in the literature that make use of agent programming.

“…In the seminal work of the methodology, Pirani (2016) firstly proposed the adoption of this technique in the context of low cost and low size embedded electronics devices. Nowadays, tiny intelligent devices tend to constitute a major part of reference architectures of distributed control in industrial context, where intelligence permeates at different levels by means of holonic representations under the relational model (Bonci, 2016;Bonci, 2018d;Bonci, 2018e). In all of its versions, the proposed approach relies heavily on the simplification obtained by means of the leveraging of the assumption of self-similarity across the numerous components of the production process.…”

This paper presents the detailed definition of technique for the automation of the management of complex business systems, whether they are constituted of services and productions. The technique has been referred here for the first time as Holonic Management Tree (HMT) and has been consistently contextualized into undergoing research on technological frameworks for the management cybernetics, in which the concept of viable system represents a fundamental stance. HMT is based on the use of recursive formulas over self-similar holonic structures for the attainment of continuous performance improvement in a complex and continuously evolving process. The problem is associated to a recursive tree of self-similar structures of which in this paper we discuss the interpretation with respect to knowledge modeling domain. The basic expressions for the computation of the 2nd degree trees are provided and explained in detail by means of an example in lean management context. Moreover, this work presents and discusses the expressions that handle the implementation of the n-th degree case as a recurrent abstraction of the basic and simple 2nd degree computation.
