Abstract :
This paper reports on the design and realization of an agent-oriented control system dedicated to material flow systems. The implementation is based on DCOM (Distributed Component Object Model). Regarding the increasing availability, performance and acceptance of distributed object-oriented systems, as well as the growing number of agent-oriented software packages, it is natural to adapt and use the capabilities of both object-oriented and agent-oriented software as a platform for distributed industrial applications
