Multi-agent modeling of a complex system

Abstract

In this paper we propose a multi-agent approach for modeling an industrial system (boiler). A Multi-Agent System (MAS) are used in order to modeling a complex system which requires the consideration of its several parts. A system which can often be tackled from different angles. We have identified the set of problems to solve, searched and find convenient multi agent models for their resolution. Then, we implemented our application by using a MADKIT platform. Thus, the goal of our work is to build a data processing simulator containing agents enable to translate this complex industrial system into a data processing program that can represents its behavior, its interaction, its control loops and verify the integrity and proper functioning of the system, it can also be used as a means of mastering the complexity of these systems. Thus, we are basing on multi-agent formalism. This formalism is very used for the modeling of complicated systems.
