Abstract

Mobile agent technology has a number of characteristics that make it well suited for distributed information retrieval and monitoring tasks. We present an agent-based environment that provides facilities and tools for remote diagnosis, supervision and control of process automation systems. The environment allows remote and dynamic configuration of diagnosis and supervision tasks, offers a framework for observing and controlling existing (legacy) software, and is also suited for other application domains than process automation.
