A monitoring system based on a multi-agent platform [DC motor drive example]

The monitoring and diagnostics of distributed systems puts significant challenges on the management and computation of data. An approach based on multiprocessing structures, implementing an agency-agent framework, has been introduced in the literature. In this work, we propose the introduction of a "simulation agent" as the active part of the monitoring system. The simulation agent runs remotely in parallel to the real system, receiving the same input as the real system.
