ResumoThis paper discusses the role of the simulation in agent-based control systems. It is argued that there is a call for a new class of agent-oriented simulation tools that combine the emulation of the controlled process/manufacturing equipment with the emulation of agent-control activities. It should contain a run-time interface connecting these two emulation systems that allows a smooth shift from the simulation to real-life control reusing completely the agent algorithms. The Manufacturing Agent Simulation Tool (MAST) and the brief description of its extension for the Cambridge packing cell testbed are presented as a case study.
