Abstract
Agent technology and model-based engineering have proven potential in various prototypical implementations and academic environments but are not yet well accepted in industrial practice. However, it is evident that upcoming manufacturing systems need to integrate more rigorous foundations of semantics than currently applied data models and architectures but the conformance with industrial standards is crucial for their acceptance.
This paper presents a survey on standards and ontologies for the process domain carried out during the first phase of the project BatMAS, which aims at the integration of a system ontology for providing an extensive knowledge base. On the one hand, the knowledge base should be accessed by an agent-based system for batch process automation and on the other hand, it should provide access for various functionalities of a complete automation solution.
