基于Multi-Agent技术的CAPP系统的研究

Research on Multi-Agent Based Intelligent CAPP System

CAPP(Computer Aided Process Planning)系统在CIMS(Computer Integrated Manufacturing System)中起着举足轻重的作用,是CAD(Computer Aided Design)与CAM(Computer Aided Manufacturing)系统之间的重要纽带。针对目前CAPP系统的不足,提出一种基于Multi-Agent的智能CAPP系统结构框架,将复杂工艺问题分解为几个简单问题。系统通过3种Agent来实现,每个Agent具有独自的知识和推理结构,使得智能CAPP系统具有良好的动态适应性和高度分布协同功能。

Computer aided process planning （CAPP） plays an important role in the computer integrated manufacturing system （CIMS）. Considering the existent disadvantage, a new intelligent agent CAPP system is proposed in this paper. The complex problem is divided into a few simple sub problems, and each agent has its own knowledge and reasoning. The system modeling, agent structure design and coordination mechanism are proposed.
