Application of the agent concept to E-Beam manufacturing system

An agent is an abstract unit for problem solving in the field of distributed artificial intelligence, and an agent-based system is designed and implemented based on the definition of agent as its central concept. Agent modeling is advantageous to abstraction, disintegration and structuring for describing complex system. Recently researchers are studying how to apply agent modeling to software development for machining centers and intelligent machines from the perspective of software engineering. The present study suggested the application of the agent concept for the interchange of processing data in the line of E-Beam manufacturing system. The suggested process shows an agent modeling process for application system and built a basic frame that can base prototype development.
