Holonic Control System on Universal Learning Network

Abstract

A new control method is presented using holonic concept on Universal Learning Network (U. L. N.). Holonic concept was proposed by Arthur Koestler in 1905. Its aim is to harmonize hole systems with partial systems, which have hierarchal structures. On the other hand, U. L. N. which models and controls large-scale complicated systems such as industrial plants, economic, social and life phenomena is proposed. In this paper. holonic control system based on holonic concept and U. L. N. is presented. From simulation results of a nonlinear crane system, it has been proved that holonic control can harmonize the system rather than optimize it, which used to be the conventional method of control engineering.
