Multi-agent system architecture for coordination of the real-time control functions in complex industrial systems is presented. The problem which must be solved out is how efficiently to organize the interactions between tasks in order to satisfy the functionality and the time restriction of the system. In order to solve this problem, the treatment of the task interactions is separated from the tasks and is implemented by the proposed multi-agent system. A general three level multi-agent system is introduced to manage the interactions and schedule of tasks. A framework of building of the schedule of the tasks is also presented. Finally, the benefits of the proposed architecture are discussed.

We propose a layered, multi-agent model as a method for establishing an intelligent control system. The model handles each task, which constitutes control processing, as a group of agents operating autonomously, and organizes the agents in a layered structure from the viewpoint of real-time constraints. This enables real-time control processing and knowledge information processing simultaneously. We will describe a method for building the layered multiagent model using a concurrent rule set. The concurrent rule set can be processed by extending the expert shell and can realize the layered agent model in various computer environments through the use of the shell.

Developing a microcontroller-based system for controlling the flywheel motor of high-dynamics spacecraft using Russian-made parts and components made it possible to make statement of the problem of searching control function for a preset rotation rate of the flywheel rotor. This paper discusses one of the possible options for mathematical study of the stated problem, namely, application of structural analysis based on graph theory. Within the framework of the stated problem a graph was constructed for generating the new required rate, while in order to consider the stochastic case option the incidence and adjacency matrices were constructed. The stated problem was solved using a power matrix which transforms a set of contiguous matrices of the graph of admissible solution edge sequences, the real-time control function was found. Based on the results of this work, operational trials were run for the developed control function of the flywheel motor rotor rotation rate, a math model was constructed for the real-time control function, and conclusions were drawn about the feasibility of implementing the results of this study. Key words: Control function, graph, incidence matrix, adjacency matrix, power matrix, microcontroller control of the flywheel motor, highly dynamic spacecraft.
