Service Oriented Architecture in PROSIS holonic control
Résumé
Ambient intelligence applied to manufacturing systems will deeply transform approaches to production organization and control. Infotronics technologies will enlarge the capabilities to interact, to react and to customize control systems with innovative possibilities that should already be envisaged and thoroughly studied. Indeed, beyond identification, traceability and security applications that are generally considered, these technologies offer the possibility to associate to each entity, constituting a production system, a decisional intelligence. Autonomy properties are thus associated to the entity. Under these new advances, a control system based on the holonic paradigm and an isoarchic architecture, named PROSIS (Product, Resource, Order, Simulation Isoarchical System), was proposed. This approach provides a range of ambient services to the holonic entities. The aim of this paper is to present the service oriented architecture in the PROSIS control system. After presenting the holonic control system (PROSIS) model, the ambient services that can be provided are described and the way these services could be delivered are presented.
