Research on the Collaborative Environment for Weapon System Virtual Prototyping Based on Multi-Agent

Building virtual prototype of the complex system is an efficient way to solve the problems of the high-risk and hard- reversibility during the development. As the amount of information and communication frequency is tremendous, environments must provide efficient mechanisms to maximize the supporting of developments. In this paper, agent technology is applied to the traditional collaborative environment, and a new collaborative environment based on Multi-Agent is proposed. Based on acquisition process, a Multi-Agent-based collaborative process model is proposed for whole-life cycle development of virtual prototypes.
