Abstract: 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.
Abstract: An approach that relies on the use of the holonic paradigm, on an isoarchic architecture and on a decision-making capacity based on a multicriteria analysis is presented. The various concepts of this approach are addressed first. Then, the multicriteria decision methods based on AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) and its generalization ANP (Analytic Network Process) are detailed, as well as the implementation phases. The first obtained results on a case study are presented.
