Managing Fault Monitoring and Recovery in Distributed Real-Time Control Systems

In this paper we describe a holonic approach to managing distributed real-time control applications for manufacturing. The main feature of the architecture are layering (to support functional decomposition) and clustering (to support task propagation).
