Multi-Agent control architecture design of marine cooling water system based on JADE platform

Multi-Agent system(MAS) has been applied to the inteligent control of the complex system more extensively.In the design and development of the MAS,many ways have been used to make research into the behavioral trait of MAS and the performance characteristics of the control structure aiming at high efficiency. A simplified marine cooling water system(CWS) is taken as the research object by the paper,and then a multiAgent hierarchical control structure of the CWS is established based on the technology of the Multi-Agent.the cooperation mode and process of the CSW both under normal state and abnormal state is discussed by the use of the development platform Eclipse and the simulation platform JADE,the intelligent decision-making and control of the CSW are realized and the primary result is presented,which makes the further research of the MAS possible.
