Open-control: a new concept for integrated product-driven manufacturing control

Abstract This paper introduces the “open-control” concept. This new concept and its associated framework allow description of a broad range of architecture control systems from CIM to Holonic and Stigmergic architectures. This concept is quite appropriate for use in a manufacturing system context in which active products play a central role. Open-control is finally instantiated on a stigmergic case.
