Abstract :
The Multi-Agent Cooperative Model (MACM) is proposed and a product cooperative design system based on multi-agent is designed in this paper. The MACM is applied in the product cooperative design system, which makes it very convenient for operators to store, query and update product data no matter where they are and when they operate. The system can be used to realize product preliminary design and manage product data. It realizes access control on product information with ways of authority management and version control, so problems arising in the process of design like product data inconsistency, low data reusability and inconvenient query will be solved. With the aid of design expert system and analysis expert system, the product design cycle will be shortened and the enterprise will become more competitive.
