MAS solutions differ from the traditional ones due to their inherent capabilities to respond promptly to changing
conditions without external intervention [4]. In particular,
MAS technology can play a crucial role in the implementation
of the cyber-physical systems (CPSs) paradigm, which is
a way to realize the Industrie 4.0 initiative. CPSs concern the
combination of real-world physical processes and computing
systems, forming an extensive network of embedded systems
that integrates sensing, actuation, computation, and physical
processes [5].
