Abstract
The key issue of a multi agent system is the decentralized control and optimization of a given global system which is normally of large scale. In this connection features like stability, controllability, and observability are important aspects. The paper deals with control structures of decentralized agent driven hybrid systems. In addition some stability features of decentralized hybrid systems are discussed. An example of agent control of two coupled heaters shows that even stable systems may show periodic behavior
