Abstract
The paper deals with the design process supported by sharing information through a Multi-Agent System environment. SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) software systems are one of the typical applications in automation industry and are used for monitoring, measurement and control systems. The presented solutions are intended to enable collaborative control for automated plants in a platform independent way. In the proposed Multi-Agent heterogeneous system the OPC plays an important role as a powerful communication technology especially dedicated for real-time distributed control systems. Based on the OPC native protocol OPC Agents Ontology brings this automation communication protocol idea into pure Java JADE Agents environment and also supports in decision making process while participating in concurrent engineering process.
