基于Multi-Agent的虚拟企业集成框架研究

RESEARCH ON MULTI-AGENT BASED INTEGRATED FRAMEWORK OF VIRTUAL ENTERPRISE

本文采用多智能体技术构建虚拟企业集成框架 ,在该框架中 ,由 agent代表各成员企业 ,相应地 ,多智能体系统 (Multi- Agent System )代表虚拟企业 .其中重点提出了 agent通用结构 ,它包括核心层、接口、通讯层三个组成部分 :核心层由企业的原有系统构成 ,以保证企业的自治性 ;接口实现了 agent核心层与通讯层之间的信息交换 ;通讯层则支持 agent之间的交互 ,实现企业间的合作 .该虚拟企业集成框架不仅支持虚拟企业像一个企业一样进行工作 ,而且实现了虚拟企业的可重用、可重构和可扩充 ,并使企业根据需要同时参加多虚拟企业成为可能 .

In this paper, multi agent is used for the construction of integrated framework of virtual enterprise in which an agent represents individual member enterprise of the virtual enterprise, accordingly, the virtual enterprise is represented by multi agent system. The agent general structure is emphasized which consists of core level, internal interface and communication level. The core level is the legacy system of an enterprise to keep its autonomy, and the communication level realizes the cooperation among enterprises by supporting the interactions of them, and internal interface makes it available to exchange informations between the core level and the communication level of an agent. The integrated framework of virtual enterprise makes the virtual enterprise work as a single enterprise, and it realizes the reusable, the reconfiguration and the scalable of virtual enterprise, meanwhile, the integrated framework also makes it possible that an enterprise can participate in several virtual enterprises at the same time according to the real requirements.
