Abstract (EN): Industrial companies are faced today with strong competition and fast changing markets. To reduce the risk and evaluate alternatives, simulation is considered to be a good tool. Industrial company's simulation must have sufficient detail to be useful but, at the same time, take into account the external environmental behaviour. Distributed simulation has specific characteristics to study these problems but its complexity limits its use in industry as stated in the literature. To overcome these difficulties, a framework is proposed, offering communication and synchronization mechanisms, which allow the integration of simulation models in the industrial area. To promote semantic interoperability, a business language is also proposed based on the OASIS Universal Business Language (UBL). As industrial companies have a high level of complexity and autonomy, the simulation models work as agents using Agent-based Modelling and Simulation (ABMS) techniques to achieve a more realistic behaviour of the whole system.
