A Study of Agent-oriented Ship Design System

这是一个为期两年的面向主体设计系统的研究项目。研究分为三个部分，即[1]面向agent的系统架构设计与知识处理，[2]异构系统之间的知识交换，[3]针对各个agent的架构考虑。[1]的艇型设计系统是基于欧洲KADS实现的。通过KADS对系统架构和工作协调进行了分析和系统化。原型系统还配有咨询系统。在[2]项目中，考察了通过KIF和KQML进行知识交换以应用于引起结构冲突的船体结构和管道。在推导了系统语义基础的基础上，提出了协调代理（Coordinator agent），该代理可以是人类设计者。在[3]项目中，通过拖船协作模型对架构方面进行了深入研究。本研究提出了agent的三层结构，并通过实例验证了其有效性。通过这些研究项目，作者提出了面向主体设计系统的基本和必要的要求。

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.
