基于Web Services和Agent的协同设计技术研究与系统实现

Research on Collaborative Design Based on Web Services and Agent

协同设计是一个贯穿产品生命周期,保证产品设计人员之间通过信息交互和协调做出决策的过程。为了提高开放性和适应性,通过研究协同设计系统的体系结构,提出一种基于Web services和Agent技术的用于构建协同设计环境的信息框架。该框架以Web services为基础,利用Agent技术进行信息的访问和更新。随后,研究了Agent系统的体系结构和Agent的决策过程。为了详细描述系统的动态行为,设计了一个协同设计系统的行为序列图。最后,通过一个协同设计系统原型的部署和实现,说明了本方法的可行性。

Collaborative design is an engineering process that involves decision-making through iterative communication and coordination among product designers throughout the lifecycle of the product. In order to increasing openness and flexibility, a collaborative design system framework based on Web services and Agent technology is proposed through studying the architecture. Web services are the foundation of system, and Agent technology is applied to accessing and updating information. Subsequently, the structure and making-decision progress of Agent is studied. For describing the dynamic action of system, a behavior sequence diagram is designed. Finally, deployment and achievement of a system prototype shows the feasibility of this method.
