Modeling and Implementation of a Reactive Multi-Agents Based Greenhouse Control System

This paper presents development of a greenhouse
model, which has a reactive multi-agent system, for the
optimization of ambient agents such as temperature, light, humidity, and CO2 ratio and it has been validated on a prototype. The greenhouses are substantial agricultural structures whose internal ecosystem characteristics show continuous dynamic changes. Multi agent systems are computer systems that can autonomy control systems with dynamic environmental
characteristics by interacting with other agents. In the
conceptual design of the developed model, the state and control variables of the greenhouse automation have been modeled as reactive multi agents and the behavior, duty, message and input/output features of these agents have been identified. In its software design, the conceptual design features have been
modeled with UML class diagrams, sequence diagrams and pseudo codes. The models have been applied to a prototype with JADE.NET. It was observed that the agents in PC user interface successfully and autonomy controlled the greenhouse by interacting with each other.
