A mobile agent is a software program with the capability to suspend
its execution and resume it on another computer. Agents are a
relatively recent development in computer science, which have
become a popular and useful methodology for the modelling and
implementation of distributed systems, particularly those
consisting of a number of largely autonomous components. The
extensive use of multi-agent systems in various areas including
information management, industrial control and manufacturing
systems, suggests that the multi-agent systems methodology may also
be appropriate for the design of power system automation systems.
IP Network-based Multi-agent Systems for Industrial Automation:
Information Management, Condition Monitoring and Control of Power
Systems is the first book to present an introduction to the use of
the Internet protocol suite and multi-agent systems for the
information management, online monitoring and control of
distributed power system substations. It proposes an open
architecture for information management and control, based on the
concepts of multi-agent systems and mobile agents. In this book,
mobile agents are applied to the retrieval and analysis of
substation data, and to remote operator intervention. This book
also describes a prototype implementation of the architecture, in
the form of a substation information management system, which has
been demonstrated and evaluated using a substation simulator. The
architecture is also evaluated theoretically with respect to its
performance, modifiability, functionality and reliability.
As mobile agent technologies are in the early stages the real
applications of these technologies are rare; IPNetwork-based
Multi-agent Systems for Industrial Automation: Information
Management, Condition Monitoring and Control of Power Systems will
be an excellent reference for postgraduates, researchers and
academics in engineering and computer science, as well as engineers
in system automation and managers in distributed industrial
systems.
