Abstract

A multi-agent based architecture is bring on to improve the collaborative feature of traditional CAD system for those designers need collaboration each other but locate on different place. Three levels is are included in this proposed system framework, namely real-time monitoring agent, conflict detection agent, conflict solution agent, user communication agent and knowledge management agent. Detail flow architecture of the user agent is given in this paper. An experiment system presents the efficient cooperation among two designers on Internet.
