基于XML和Agent的流程工业系统信息集成框架

为了实现流程工业系统的有效集成，提出了一种基于可扩展标记语言和Agent的系统信息集成模型。首先，用可扩展标记语言和Agent技术把各个过程运行子系统包装成为Agent；然后，根据过程运行系统的集成目标集成这些分布在不同区域的Agent。该模型利用Agent技术来实现过程运行子系统的包装，保证了这些子系统在集成平台中仍能保持原先的安全稳定性；同时，使用可扩展标记语言来表达不同系统之间的交互信息，保证了集成模型具有良好的跨平台特性。最后，通过在建立Tennessee Eastman过程多任务信息集成平台上的实际应用，验证了该集成技术的有效性及实用性。

XML/Agent based framework of information integration for process industry systems

To integrate process industry systems effectively, an agent/eXtensible Markup Language(XML)-based information integration model was put forward. Firstly, sub-systems of process operation were packed as agents based on XML and agent technologies. Then according to the integration goal of process operation systems, the agents scattered in different domains were integrated. Packing of different process operation sub-systems was implemented through agent technology so as to guarantee original security and stability in the information integration platform At the same time, the information interaction among different systems was expressed through XML to ensure good cross-platform performance of the information integration platform .At last, the effectiveness and validity of the integration technology were verified through the practical application in the construction of information integration platform of Tennessee Eastman process.
