The autonomy, inter-operability, scalability and flexibility of agent areused to cooperate the whole process planning and achieve the full share of resource and information.Thus, unnecessary waste of human labor, time and work is reduced and the computer-aided processplanning (CAPP) system's adaptability and stability are improved. In the detailed implementation,according to the products' BOM (Bill of materials) in structural design, the task assignment,management control, automatic process making, process examination and process sanction are combinedinto a unified management to make it convenient for the adjustment, control and management.展开更多

This paper proposes an idea of implementing resource-centric transaction model for WFMS: Integrate the plug-in container of resource in former architecture, separate resource scheduling as independent functional module from skill module, and imply transaction planning in agent collaboration, without losing flexibility and interaction ability of former architecture. Thus provide the support of concurrency and recovery for shared data resource in Workflow, which is the basis of data consistency control and exception handling.展开更多
