Introduction

Holonic and multi-agent systems provide a novel paradigm for managing, modelling and supporting complex systems. This concept has proved to be successful in a number of industrial domains such as manufacturing, real-time control, supply chain management, logistics, production planning and scheduling, air traffic control, smart grids, and others. Multi-agent systems play the role of a key technology in the field of future manufacturing within the frame of the Industrie 4.0 visions.

The conference aims to bring together researchers active in the area of Holonic and Multi-agent Systems, Service-Oriented Architectures, Knowledge-based System Integration as well as Cyber-Physical Systems, and together with key engineers and industrial decision makers to share their views and experience in design, development and application of Holonic and Multi-agent Systems for Industrie 4.0 solutions.

Technical co-sponsorships of the IEEE SMC TC on Distributed Intelligent Systems (TC-DIS), the IEEE SMC TC on Intelligent Industrial Systems (TC-IIS), and the IEEE IES TC on Industrial Agents (TC-IA) are expected.
