Formal and modelling frameworks for social holonic control architectures
Résumé
For decades now, manufacturing systems have grown in size and complexity. Between new consumption habits and hypercompetitive markets, manufacturing systems have started a race towards the industry of the future. Still, many technological and societal issues are paving their way: connectivity, resilience and human integration being among the most critical ones. The idea of this paper is to bring a new framework to help answering these issues by bringing resilience to systems, improving their interoperability, enhancing Data acquisition, transmission & processing, enabling the establishment hierarchical levels among agents, or by facilitating the system acceptance by human agents and the human integration within the system. To this end, this article brings a new formal framework for Social Holonic Control Architectures, based on an analysis of the existing literature. An UML-based modelling framework will equally be proposed to ease understanding and implementation of this new Social Holonic Control Architecture, illustrated by a concrete application on a small-scale Multi-Agent System.
