Modeling a hazardous waste monitoring system with INGENIAS methodology

Abstract

Nowadays, information and communication technology has become a necessary component in the planning, design and management of the different processes in the industry sector. To manufacturing companies, the use of multi-agent systems aiming to develop hazardous waste monitoring systems facilitates the planning, monitoring, collection, and management of hazardous waste. Intelligent agents have proven to be an efficient solution, since they can do tasks on behalf of the users. Moreover, these agents can use different intelligent techniques and communicate among themselves. For this reason, this work proposes the use of software agents for hazardous waste monitoring in manufacturing companies. This article will describe the analysis and design of our proposal using the INGENIAS methodology.
