8 CONCLUSIONS
In this paper, we propose an agent-based approach to
resolve the faults in power systems which run accord-
ing to the following rules; (i) detect and localize the
problem,(ii) identify the problem by checking con-
straints, (iii) categorize the occurred faults and (iv)
choose the suitable strategy of search for solution (lo-
cal through RAgent or distributed through MAgent)
to accelerate the resolution. In future works, we are
interested in reducing the number of the deployed
agents by integrating a knowledge base in RAgents to
store local solutions in order to reduce the requesting
time. We are, also, interested in investigating multi-
ple and even concurrent faults at the same time. The
use of smart storage devices present, also, an interest-
ing issue for us as well as the failure rates to forecast
failures.
