We propose a self-managing services architecture for automated manufacturing systems to enable sustainable manufacturing operations. The architecture utilises both software agents and IEC 61499 function blocks to realise manufacturing systems that quickly respond to change while maintaining stable system operation and efficient use of available resources. To explore the system's ability to adapt to disturbances, a stochastic agent-based simulation of the automated manufacturing system with random equipment failures was developed. The results of the simulation demonstrate that the proposed self-managing services architecture is capable of rapidly reconfiguring part routings in order to reduce work in progress and maintain stable system operation.

Energy inflation and the need to de-carbonise and address existential climate change pressures, have focussed the attention of the international community upon ways to improve energy consumption and supply dynamics. Significantly improved efficiencies in electricity supply and consumption in both developed and less developed regions is possible through the digital transformation of electricity markets which apply automation and control solutions in new ways. One ofthe most promising solutions is peer-to-peer (P2P) energy market which enables prosumers, such as microgenerators who use solar PV but who must supplement this with electricity from other sources, to trade their solar-generated excess energy with their peers elsewhere in region. This paper is a global industry and academic survey of the current state of peer-to-peer energy trading projects world-wide, including a meta-analysis of the scholarship as well as project implementations. It draws conclusions as to current trends and future research for IFAC. Copyright (c) 2022 The Authors.

This paper covers acquisition cost control optimization in the insurance sector through managerial tools that include optimization models applied method, and analysis within the insurance companies to achieve higher efficiency. The model development with presented costs volume and supposed market volume in each product branch is needed to optimize acquisition costs in insurance companies. The model has been simplified due to the presence of big data in each product branch. Our study is based on classic works and textbooks on optimization and non-linear programming The results of digital computer calculations for two types of insurance activity are present here. The applied software tool for the acquisition costs allocation is also considered. Copyright (C) 2021 The Authors.

The definition of the growth limit of an economic system uses a formalized measure of the effectiveness of structural innovation within the technology core model, as well as mathematical methods of its analysis. The basis of the developed model is the cross-sectoral balance of the system of national accounting. The analysis of the model consists in calculating the preferred structure of the technological core and determining the limits of productivity and growth of the multi-sector model of the economy. The practical realization of the received results should be linked to the selection of priority areas for the development of the technological core and to the formulation of strategic paths for the development of the economy.

The paper is devoted to a control science view of attitude change. We can think about it as an "attitude control". Here we are interested not in attitude change modeling like "what will be change of the attitude if we influence on some parameters of the human psychology". We are interested in control question like "what can be a control situation in case of control subject knows the human's attitude change model" and the human knows about subject's intention to control his attitude. In other words, let psychologists give us model of attitude change, and we concentrate on control problems about attitude: control subject's goal and possibilities to control, the human's goal and possible actions, mutual awareness and so on. We state control structure similar to one from organizational control models and append to it strategic thinking model as bounded rationality pattern. Copyright (C) 2021 The Authors.

Currently, multi-agent mobile robotic testbeds are expensive, inaccessible, and restricted characteristics. Besides, the remotely accessible testbeds have limitations for specific tasks and limited time of implementation. For these reasons, we designed, produced, and implemented a testbed with excellent qualities for everybody. The ARGroHBotS is an inexpensive, robust, accessible, and flexible testing scenario where anyone can test control and motion theories. ARGroHBotS could be adjusted and set up for specific implementations. Due to the ability to modify both the hardware and the software, it is possible to change both the peripherals and the control technique used. This paper describes the design, operation, and advantages of ARGroHBotS. This system is specifically designed as an excellent possibility to produce an institutional platform where multi-agent and swarm algorithms could be implemented and tested. The used components and technologies allow easy replication and low-cost access, regardless of the global location. ARGroHBotS provides excellent advantages to research groups compared with commercial Robots. Copyright (C) 2021 The Authors.
