Abstract
This paper presents a formalization of a solution to control the myopia and its impact on performances of Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS) controlled by intelligent products. The model is based on the concept of the functional roles in Multi-Agent Systems which is described through a brief state of the art. Then this concept is applied to the control of a FMS. Entities, their roles, their knowledge and behaviors are explained in details. Finally, the proposed solution is implemented at the AIP-PRIMECA FMS of Valenciennes and some experimental results are given.
