Abstract
The paper presents requirements for a layer supervising the transition between different agents controlling a dynamical system. Dynamical systems often require uninterrupted control over certain parts of the process, for which different control algorithm may be applied. Transition of control from one agent to another is possible and may sometimes be desired. Therefore, it must be ensured that the transition does not result in process deterioration. The paper presents data structure and basic mechanisms that enable transition of dynamical system control between different agents to be performed in a desired way.
