Multi-softMan Coordination Model and Its Application in Metallurgical Construction Project Management

Soft-Man is put forward as a intelligent tool and technology which is humanoid and with higher intelligent level. Soft-Man can favorably cooperate within a Soft-Man group at various levels. Due to Soft-Man is the development of object and agent in software engineering, so that, the methodology and technology of software engineering will be developing from object-oriented (O/O), agent-oriented (A/O) to Soft-Man oriented (S/O). Our research and development on Soft-Man based on two ways: Linux kernel rebuilding and Java technology. The main results as follows: concepts and models of Soft-Man and generalized Soft-Man; personal Soft-Man model, architecture and moving; Soft-Man group organization, management and cooperation; Soft-Man society building, communication and coordination. The metallurgical construction project is characteristic of multi-target, huge investment and multi-contractor. It is an urgent problem to solve that to improve the project management level and efficiency, especially to take full advantage of Internet collecting information, exchanging and sharing information with each contractor. In this paper, intelligent management system for metallurgical construction project based on ldquomulti-SoftManrdquo is proposed. Its implementation platform and method are also proposed, and are considered to be feasible by project management representatives.
