“…All the components of the framework can be exchanged if they follow the general architecture of how the components and their interfaces are structured and described. The MAS used in the project is based on the Janus runtime for the general-purpose agent-oriented programming language SARL (Galland et al, 2020 ). The decision in favor of SARL has been made because of its explicit support of holonic architectures.…”

Volatility and uncertainty of today's value chains along with the market's demands for low-batch customized products mandate production systems to become smarter and more resilient, dynamically and even autonomously adapting to both external and internal disturbances. Such resilient behavior can be partially enabled by highly interconnected Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS) incorporating advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies. Multi-agent solutions can provide better planning and control, improving flexibility and responsiveness in production systems. Small modular parts can autonomously take intelligent decisions and react to local events. The main goal of decentralization and interconnectivity is to enable autonomous and cooperative decision-making. Nevertheless, a more efficient orchestration of various AI components and deeper human integration are required. In addition, global behaviors of coalitions of autonomous agents are not easily comprehensible by workers. Furthermore, it is challenging to implement an Industry 4.0 paradigm where a human should be in charge of decision-making and execution. This paper discusses a Multi-Agent System (MAS) where several software agents cooperate with smart workers to enable a dynamic and reconfigurable production paradigm. Asset Administration Shell (AAS) submodels hold smart workers' descriptions in machine-readable format, serving as an integration layer between various system's components. The self-description capability of the AAS supports the system's adaptability and self-configuration. The proposed concept supports the plug-and-produce functionality of the production modules and improves human-machine integration in the shared assembly tasks.

“…Furthermore, simulators are currently utilized as both software applications and online resources accessible through the internet. A conservative synchronization approach is made available for the SARL computer language and Janus runtime system, as documented in [27]. The utilization of the Janus system for agent-oriented programming that involves time is not feasible without the provision of a dedicated synchronization technique.…”

The effectiveness of agent-based modeling as a simulation modeling methodology has resulted in its application in diverse settings, including the resolution of pragmatic business challenges, in recent times. The domain of symbolic artificial intelligence, which investigates intelligent and self-governing entities, is preoccupied with the mechanisms by which these entities arrive at determinations regarding their conduct in reaction to, or in expectation of, stimuli from the external environment. The scope of the methods employed encompasses a diverse array of techniques, spanning from negotiations to agent simulations, as well as multi-agent argumentation and planning. The present article scrutinizes the utilization of agent-based computing in multi-agent systems and provides an all-encompassing analysis of the relevant literature. This study delves into the examination of both traditional and contemporary agent programming languages, including their respective extensions, comparative analyses, and instances of their application in published literature.

“…It corresponds to the event handler on SmartPanelBehavior that defines the general behavior of the smart panel. When the panel detects fog, i.e., it is located in a foggy weather zone, it assumes that the maximum speed for a vehicle is the result of (14). At the same time, the panel broadcasts a communication message to the neighbor panels with its position.…”

“…The proposed ABM follows the latest advancements in the fields of agent-oriented software engineering and agent-based simulation. The Janus platform [11,14,15] and its associated SARL meta-model and agent programming language 1 [6,8,10,29] are used for building the simulator. The source code of the simulator is published as open source code on Bitbucket.…”

The lack of visibility due to foggy conditions is known to cause of a lot of accidents every year in the United Arab Emirates, eventually leading to fatal injuries. Yet, today's technology can help to overcome these visibility issues by providing dynamic information to the driver about the current weather and an appropriate speed limit. This paper explores four strategies, ranging from static road signs to advanced inter-vehicular communication, to better warn the drivers and make them adapt their speed depending on the weather. To evaluate the impact of each policy, agent-based simulations are designed and performed. The results show that a dynamic communication about the weather conditions, supported by either an infrastructure-to-vehicle or a vehicle-to-vehicle protocol, can reduce the probability of occurrence of accidents.
