A Study of Agent-oriented Ship Design System

这是面向智能体设计系统的两年研究计划。研究分为三个部分，即[1]面向智能体的设计系统体系结构与知识处理，[2]异质系统间的知识交换[3]各智能体的体系结构考虑。对于[1]，基于欧洲KADS实现了船型设计系统。通过KADS分析了系统的体系结构和工作协调，并提供了咨询系统。在项目[2]中，研究了通过KIF和KQML进行的知识交换，以适应引起结构冲突的船体结构和管道。推导了系统的基本语义，为了解决高层下的冲突，作者提出了协调器代理，它可能是人类设计者。在项目[3]中，通过拖轮协作模型深入研究了建筑方面。在本研究中，提出了三层结构的智能体，并通过实施验证了其有效性，为面向智能体的设计系统提供了基本的、本质的要求。

This is two year research program for the Agent-oriented Design System.The research was divided into three parts, that is,[1] agent-oriented design system architecture and knowledge treatment,[2] knowledge exchange between heterogeneous systems[3] architectural consideration for respective agent.As for [1], the hull form design systems was implemented based on the European KADS.The system architecture and work coordination have been analyzed and systematized through the KADS.The prototype system was also furnished advisory system.In item [2], the knowledge interchange via KIF and KQML was examined to appiy the hull structure and piping which caused structural conflict. The semantics essential for the system was derived and to resolve the conflict under higher, authors proposed the Coordinator agent which may be the human designer.In item [3], architectural aspect was intensively examined through the tug boat collaboration model. In this research, the three layred structure for agent was proposed and implementation clarified its effectiveness.Through Those research items, authors provided fundamental and essential requirements for the agent-oriented design system.
