Abstract—An intelligent agent system for the control of greenhouse automation is presented in this paper and a prototype multi-agent-based control system has been developed for greenhouse as an example. The developed automation consist of temperature, humidity, CO2, light, wind sensors, ventilation, irrigation, shading, lighting control systems and communicates with the computer over RS232. These sensors are modeled as intelligent agents and the greenhouse automation system architecture to implement the multi-agent-based control system is proposed and the coordination model of the reactive agents is developed. Finally, this study explains how to model these agents with JADE.NET which is one of the agent development platforms.
Index Terms—Intelligent agent system, reactive agent, agent development platform, greenhouse control, JADE.NET.
