Multi-agent based distributed cold roll forming system model

In this paper, a distributed multi-agent system (DMAS) for cold roll forming is proposed. The system consists of agents such as common service agent, roll pass design agent, knowledge management agent, product description agent, simulation agent, artificial intelligence agent; also there are two user interfaces: user mediator and designer mediator. So, this distributed multi-agent system has been implemented the cold rolled steel production input, roll pass design, simulation for cold roll forming and established an integrated intelligence knowledge base which assist users to design more rapidly and more efficiently. A case study is given at the end of this paper to describe the course of using this multi-agent system.
