This paper studies the influence of accessible information and communication in distributed control systems for Industry 4.0 applications. To this end, we compare a purely decentralized and a hybrid heuristic in a multi-agent system in order to solve graph colouring dynamics. By means of simulations, both heuristics are compared, and while no heuristic clearly dominates the other, insights on design challenges in distributed control are derived.
