Study on the Agent-Based Multi-Task Cooperative Model

Establishing open intelligent collaborative work system is one of the important goals of the CSCW systems, and Concurrency Control is a critical technology in CSCW systems. In this paper, the deficiencies of the existing cooperative mechanisms and cooperative models are analyzed, and by making use of the agent technology and the thoughts of resolving distributed problems in DAI, the Agent-based multitask cooperative model-TUMA cooperative model is presented, which describes the collaborative work through the task unit, meets the users´ continually variation needs in CSCW, and improves the cooperative capability and efficiency of the CSCW systems effectively. Moreover, by making use of the thoughts of AOP (Agent-Oriented Programming) and Task decomposition, a Agent-Based Multi-Task Concurrency control method in TUMA is formally described. Finally, the implementation of the Concurrency Control strategy is given.
