  abstract = {In complex systems, multiple aspects interact and influence each other. A vast number of entities are present in the system. Traditional modeling and simulation techniques fail to capture interactions between loosely coupled aspects of a complex system. In this work, we describe a generic framework for modeling and analysis of naturally distributed and complex systems based on Holonic Multi-Agent paradigm. We illustrate the suitability of our generic model by applying it to the modeling and simulation of an important industrial plant in the east of france.}
