Abstract

In order to improve the features of traditional CAD system, a system architecture based on multi-agent is put forward. The proposed system framework includes three levels, supporting the collaborative product design for different remote users. The user agents are classified as real-time monitoring agent, conflict detection agent, conflict solution agent, user communication agent and knowledge management agent. We give the detail flow architecture of the user agents. The experiment system presents the efficient cooperation among multidisciplinary designers.
