In this chapter we present a new generalized agent-based model to implement fuzzy logic controllers (FLCs) distributed according to the Agents Paradigm. The discussed model is presented along with FIS2JADE, a tool developed to convert Simulink®; FIS-format controllers into a Multi-Agent System adhering to the defined model, in order to improve developers efficiency when dealing with distributed control. We present the model describing first its founding elements and concepts. Then we present the model design by means of a simple and well-known case study, the stationary inverted pendulum control problem, allowing us to focus on the model definition rather than on the control problem to which it is applied. Lastly, we show snapshots from the detailed design and implementation process when choosing the JADE Agents Platform to implement the derived Multi-Agent System.
