文摘A novel approach for partitioning and coordinating the collaborative design optimization of complex systems is described.A partitioning metric has been formulated to select the best partitioning solutions among the total possibilities of dividing the complex design optimization problem.Then,an agent-supported approach is used for the coordination of the collaborative design optimization.The approach has been applied to the case of a preliminary design of an electric vehicle,to demonstrate how various agents can effectively communicate with each other to provide support to the collaborative design optimization of complex systems.
