Abstract Heterarchical Control Architectures (HeCA) have shown various benefits such as agility and reactivity, but have to face some drawbacks in order to be implemented in the industrial world. Precisely, one of the problems encounter in heterarchical systems is referred as the lack of a global view and reference of the whole system, to actually guarantee optimal decisionmaking. This behavior had been labeled by some researchers as “Myopia”. This paper is intended to look for this kind of behavior in other domains, and then
