Abstract

By means of software agents, user relevant information in process control systems should be searched for and presented in a user-friendly manner. In this paper the first steps of the design of the individual agents along with the suitable framework and the basic structure for the agent communication, are presented. The emphasis of the work lies, on one hand, on the special requirements of the agent oriented software design in the process control, and on the other hand, on designing an open architecture for communication and integration of the agent in the existing structure of the system process control.
