This joint paper is the result of the work of cluster 3-4 within the Esprit WG No. 21955 on Intelligent Manufacturing Systems (IMS) working group. The paper conveys the results of a
co-operative research effort between LAR Patras (Greece), DTU (Denmark), CRAN/GSIP (France) and Aachen WZL (Germany). It aims at highlighting the contribution of each of the partners to some common issues related to the modelling and control of an autonomous and co-operative system under dynamically changing conditions. Yet, it does not provide a global solution since this would require further investigations and research, but it stimulated us to continue working towards the integration of our individual approaches within the IMS perspective.
