Abstract
We are interested in providing an agent infrastructure for truly distributed control. Requirements include multiple language implementations so that this agent host environment can exist in real-time controllers. Our first infrastructure, the Autonomous Cooperative System (ACS) was built as a low, priority control task within the operating system of the automation controllers. The environment added the, functionality to host a set of agents This ACS kernel evolved for a long time almost independently of the controller operating system. New releases of the controllers will cause complications in the integration of the software and adoption of new functionality. We need to evolve ACS to be seamless integrated with the controllers. These changes will affect the infrastructure. In this document, we discuss the implications and results of the transformation.
