Research on Building of Construction Information Management System Based on Multiple Intelligent Agents

摘要

This paper present an information management module which is integrated in the virtual construction system. Based on the combination of organization theory and multi-intelligent agent technology, a new approach of complex information system development is proposed in this paper. Firstly, a complex information system is taken as a multi-agent system, the characteristics of the system are analyzed, and a model of multi-agent organization is built to describe the macro-structure of the system and to define the function demands. Secondly, with the restriction of the technology and resources, the organization functions for different agents and their responsibilities are determined. Thirdly, based on the organization model, the conceptual models for each agent by 'belief-desire-intention' (BDI) structure is designed. These models server as the operative development approaches to realize the information system on computer.
