Fabricare is the Latim word for "to manufacture".
A side result of this work was the development of an infrastructure, in C++, for the implementation of Holonic Systems: HFW - Holonic FrameWork.
The original name of the project was MADROX. Madrox is the name of a X-Men character, the "multiple man". This code name came from the fact that this project has to do with Multi-Agent Systems / Holonic Manufacturing Systems.
