一个基于多代理的并行工程设计系统模型研究

The Research of Multi-agent Based Model for Concurrent Engineering Design System

并行工程设计方法试图在产品的早期设计时期就考虑产品生命周期中的各方面因素，但是要真正实现却是很困难的。该文给出了一个基于多代理的并行工程设计系统框架，来解决“考虑制造的设计（ＤＦＭ）”这一问题，同样地，并行工程的其它考虑，如可装配性、可维护性与可服务性都能以同样的方式集成到这个框架中来。

A multi-agent architecture has been developed for the integration of design, manufacturing, and shop floor control activities. Using this architecture, a multi-agent based concurrent design environment system has been studied, which involves the following types of agent: design agent, geometric interface agent, feature agent, part agent machine agent, tool agent, environment manager, shop floor manager and so on. And this architecture is helpful for the solutions to other concurrent problems.
