Abstract
The paper provides a review of application research of multi-agent theories in industrial process control. Firstly, we introduce characteristics of industrial process control. Then, a comprehensive description of some research achievements for multi-agent theory problems, such as the architecture, algorithm, coordination, cooperation, negotiation, and communication, applied in industrial process control, is introduced to identify main research lines. Further multi-agent theories and applications in industrial process control are discussed in detail, and their significance is revealed, which applies directions for the further research and improvement.
