多Agent协同工作环境MACE

在ＣＡＤ／ＣＡＭ和ＣＩＭＳ等领域的分布协同计算中，分布人工智能领域的多Ａｇｅｎｔ技术已逐步得到越来越多的应用，本文阐述了ＭＡＣＥ（Ｍｕｌｔｉ－ＡｇｅｎｔＣｏｏｐｅｒａｔｉｖｅＥｎｖｉｒｏｎｍｅｎｔ）多Ａｇｅｎｔ协同工作环境中有关Ａｇｎｅｔ的概念，分类和结构，多Ａｇｅｎｔ系统结构，人与人交互界面，公用语言以及运行模式等问题，最后，以一个简单的机械组合件的交互和自动两种方式修改参数的协同设计为实例，论

MACE: AN MULTI-AGENT COOPERATIVE WORK ENVIRONMENT

With the development of computer network and multimedia technologyarid the requirement of large project, distributed cooperative computing has beenmore widely used in CAD/CAM and CIMS applications. Multi-agent technology indistributed artificial intelligence area has been gradually applied in cooperative workenvironment. This paper addresses the concept, classification and internal structureof agent, multi-agent system structure, human-human interaction, commonlanguage and running mode, etc. issues in the MACE (Multi-Agent CooperativeEnvironment). Finally, a variety of aspects of MACE are illustrated by using aprototype of multi--agent system for cooperative design limited to interactive andautomatic parameter modification of a mechanical composite part.
