Many applications in PCE require Agent communication,manual control,and diversity of devices. Hence system in PCE must be designed flexible,and optimize the use of network,storage and computing resources. However,traditional MA software framework cannot completely adapt to these new features. A new MA software framework and its Agent Communication Modules to solve the problem brought by PCE was proposed. To describe more precisely,it presents Wright/ADL (Architecture Description Language) description of the new framework. Then,it displays an application called AI Eleven based on this new framework. AI Eleven achieves Agent-Agent communication and good collaboration for a task. Two experiments on AI Eleven will demonstrate the new framework's practicability and superiority.展开更多
