Systems and methods are provided for generating a flow control plan for a plurality of components in a flow control system. A decentralized multi-agent control framework is used to plan and schedule for each agent independently without a central processor. Each agent of the multi-agent control framework separately optimizes a local portion of the system as a function of values for one or more parameters. Agents communicate with other connected agents, sharing values for parameters. The communication provides a negotiation and consensus for values of the shared parameters that are used by the agent to recalculate optimized parameters values for the local portion of the system.
