Abstract

摘要

Simulating interdisciplinary and coupled equations on distributed and dynamically changing computer networks motivates the usage of a software agent system, developed and presented within this thesis. These interdisciplinary and coupled systems mean that a cooperative calculation is possible by multiple specialized units. Examples are different physics that correspond to various engineering disciplines and have an effect on each other. Other examples are different parts of a simulation model or time steps within a simulation model influencing each other. The implementation of the software agent system adds a new abstraction layer above existing simulation tools and enables its cooperation. It requires a description of the features and capabilities of the encapsulated simulation tools as well as the implementation of interfaces used for numeric cooperation. The resulting specialized calculation units' uses own hard- and software for calculation and react independently to provide partial results. The resulting novel system enables individual and independent simulation units to do cooperative work automatically.
