On the Synthesis of Holonic Management Trees

Abstract

This paper presents current research on automated synthesis in the context of the Holonic Management Tree (HMT) technique. HMT has been currently challenged in robotics, manufacturing, construction, but in general this technique concerns the management of complexity that emerges in cyber-physical systems context. Although effective, the technique lacks a systematic and possibly automatic process of construction of the HMT, which impinges with artificial and extended intelligence concerns. A methodological work-in-progress position for the automation of HMT synthesis is proposed for the first time, and as a first step for an enduring but disruptive research effort.
