This editorial introduces the special issue of the Elsevier journal, Engineering Application of Artificial Intelligence, on Distributed control of production systems. The current technology in communication and embedded systems allows products and production resources to play a more active role in the production process. This new active capacity will generate major changes in organizations and information systems (e.g., Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES)). New approaches are now required for modelling, testing and assessing the features made possible by the decisional and informational capabilities of these new active entities. One among the many possibilities is to use agents and holons, since agent and holon-based approaches assume interaction between intelligent entities to facilitate the emergence of a global behavior. This special issue thus focuses on the possible applications of distributed approaches for the design, evaluation and implementation of new control architectures for production systems. Both fundamental and applied research papers are presented.
