Abstract

The development of an agent-based distributed Multi-axis surface machining system is described in this paper. The proposed system has successfully applied software agent-based technology in constructing a distributed freeform surface multi-axis machining environment. There are six domain software agents in the developed system and these agents communicate via pre-defined performatives in knowledge query and manipulation language (KQML) for exchanging surface machining information.
