Abstract :
This paper explores how to use multi-agent to support online integration and instant collaboration in Internet-based CAD applications. A method to bridge standalone CAD systems is presented. The method uses middleware based multi-agent to wrap the standalone CAD systems. The method is tested in a collaborative tool for heterogeneous CAD applications.
