Popis: This paper studies issues concerning the application of agent technology to process automation systems. We present an approach to achieve increased flexibility and fault-tolerance in process control operations, as well as enhanced systems configuration and maintenance. A functional specification of an agent based system as an extension to traditional process automation systems is described. The software architecture for the implementation of the required functionality is also presented. Furthermore, the connection of a novel type of mobile instrumentation to this concept is presented.
