Prototype Intelligent System of Coordinated Decision-Making Support for Small Spacecraft Design on the Basis of Multi-Agent Technologies
Abstract
Purpose: Developers of complex aerospace products need to constantly match their technical solutions with all kinds of requirements, looking for the optimal product configuration meeting the performance targets (weight, cost, reliability, etc.) which often conflict with each other. However, the available product lifecycle management systems do not allow the developers and engineers to solve all the problems quickly and efficiently. This paper suggests a new approach to creating an intelligent system of coordinated decisionmaking support in complex aerospace product design based on multi-agent technologies. Methods: We used the method of requirement coordination and product design formation based on the principles of a virtual “round table” with the use of multi-agent technologies, subject ontologies and network-centric approach. Results: A multi-agent technology approach is developed for complex aerospace product design to create an intelligent system of coordinated decision-making support. Logical architecture of such a multi-agent system is elaborated, along with decision-making models, methods and algorithms. For the model of virtual “round table” agents, an example is provided. Practical relevance: Systems based on the suggested approach can be eigher stand-alone or integrated into a unified complex with the existing PLM systems. Using this approach along with its new models, methods and algorithms will help to increase the quality and efficiency of aerospace industry product design. It will also reduce the workload, cost and time of the initial design and possible redesign of the objects.Published
