Research and development of Multi- Agent System based agile collaborative design system for machining centre

Purpose: Today we face a demands always quickly varied market. For the machine tools manufacturers, reducing the development cycle of a product to be modified is much meaningful, and meanwhile, they have to improve (at least keep) the new machines performance. Consequently, an assistant-software has a certain degree of intelligent ability will have more advantages to improve the design quality and short design cycle simultaneously.
