The current holon structures that exist so far are built to take advantage of holon dynamism through self-reconfiguration, but not in case of unexpected situations when holon behaviour is unpredicted and the dynamism is lost. In this paper, we propose a way to fill this gap by adding a model layer and a KPI layer to the holon internal structure. Th...

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 behaviour of these resources. To target the sustainability pill...
A gas pipeline is a relatively simple physical system, but the optimality of the control is difficult to achieve. When switching from one kind of gas to another , a volume of useless mixture is generated. Therefore, the control needs to both respond to the demand and minimize the volume of lost gas. In case of stable and perfectly known demand, sch...

The application of holonic paradigm to the hybrid control system class is a promising way to give flexibility to the control of such systems, leading to new industrial intelligent processes. However, there is a need for performance evaluation of such solutions in order to give them credit among the multiple formalisms used in the literature. This a...
While cyber-physical systems probably represent the future of industrial systems, their development might take some time to be extensively applied in industry. This paper presents the implementation of a service-oriented holonic control on a pre-existing system. The development of the control system is based on a virtual commissioning phase, develo...
Distributed control systems such as the holonic manufacturing systems and service-oriented architectures have demonstrated to provide higher levels of flexibility, notably in the planning and scheduling functionalities, if well exploited. In scheduling, the use of fixed process plans generated by traditional planning approaches, usually leads to un...
The smart grid concept defines a new way to architect the power energy system. This evolution is dictated, at large extent, by the need to integrate distributed generation systems, mainly based on renewable energy sources, consider electrical vehicles and enhance the power system infrastructure in degraded conditions. This change of paradigm implie...
Process models are usually represented by linear sequences, where the order of the conforming operations is fixed a priori. In a FMS, flexibility can be considered as proportional to the number of alternatives the system has when a decision needs to be made. Considering only flexibility related to the choice and the order in which the products are...
Hybrid system class, which includes systems with piecewise continuous evolution and whose changes are related to the evolution of discrete variables are classically structured in three different levels, the controller, the system and the interface. This kind of system is usually modeled through commutation models representing the whole system. Any...
Nowadays, industrials are seeking for models and methods that are not only able to provide efficient overall production performance, but also for reactive systems facing a growing set of unpredicted events. One important research activity in that field focuses on holonic/multi-agent control systems that couple predictive/proactive and reactive mech...
Holonic and service-oriented architectures have been proposed as solutions for the conception of flexible and reactive systems. Flexibility being one of their main objectives depends greatly on the way information is presented to the system which can limit the flexibility of strategies at higher levels, as in process planning and reconfiguration. A...
