Merging Agents and Cloud Services in Industrial Applications

Merging Agents and Cloud Services in Industrial Applications

A novel idea to combine agent technology and cloud computing for monitoring a plant floor system is presented. Cloud infrastructure has been leveraged as the main mechanism for hosting the data and processing needs of a modern industrial information system. The cloud offers unlimited storage and dat...
