In this context, we propose a multi-agent architecture, named EasySched, aiming at elaborating predictive and reactive scheduling as the result of a coordination between systems producing goods and systems producing renewable energy. The validation of this architecture is original, and was conducted in a completely and physically distributed way, using networked embedded systems. This validation was done on a series of instances inspired by the literature. The results showed that EasySched succeeds in adapting the production of goods according to the available renewable energy.}}
