Abstract:

Introducing Agent techniques into the process of command and control system integration will solve the problem of flexible dynamic system integration. In a multi-agent system, it is necessary to collaborate between Agents as an agent has a limited capability, so a multi-agent intelligent collaboration model is presented. First of all, the relationship between services is configured by using the service process configuration model based on multi-agent cooperation according to the requirement of users. Agents collaborate with each other by using the intelligent collaboration model in support of the system integration framework and the control Agent is in charge of the execution of the service flow. The above process is finished without people's participation, which increases the intelligence of multi-agent collaboration and improve the flexibility of system integration. Finally, the model is applied to the Agent-based system integration tool, and the Border and Coast Defense simulation system is experimented as a test case. The successful integration of the various modules in the system verifies the high effectiveness of our model.

Key words: system integration, agent techniques, system integration framework, intelligent collaboration model
