Abstract

Agent technology and multi-agent theories are widely applied to distributed intelligent control systems. Considering the similarities between an immune system and a multi-agent system, we have proposed an immune agent. The immune agent is an agent with immune mechanisms, such as, cognition, learning, and evolution. And its formalization description is discussed. A model of distributed collaborative intelligent control system is designed and implemented based on a multi-immune agent. Comparing to the general distributed control system, the system has better performance, such as reconfiguration, scalability, real-time capability, and intelligence. The experiment results show that the scheme is feasible and effective.
