Abstract :
The kernel of modern industrial technology, particularly CIM and FMS is distributed artificial intelligence (DAI). This paper considers the concept, construction principles, architecture, and interaction mechanisms of agents of distributed intelligent systems for continuous industrial branches, particularly, oil-refinery plants. The environment of such plants is characterized by uncertainty, imprecision, missing and incomplete data and knowledge, and is supposed to be fuzzy. Thus, a fuzzy distributed multi-agent intelligent system (FDIS) is considered. Rules and conventions of interactions between intelligent agents, organization, structure, control strategy and communication in FDIS for an oil refinery plant, are considered. Experimental results are given concerning the FDIS in an oil-refinery plant
