Abstract - Authors investigate how distributed artificial intelligence (DAI)
techniques can contribute to the today's complex and distributed measuring
systems. The blackboard architecture suits well to the measurement design,
where several aspects of the same problem should be considered simultaneously.
On the other hand, intelligent agents can help to exploit the emerging
knowledge resources in computer networks (like the Internet), and agent
cooperation methods can open a promising new perspective to the communication
between measuring devices and controllers.
