摘要:In order to realize 3D virtual monitoring, a collaborative system through integration of cloud computing and multiagent technology was developed. The system architecture, functional definition, and structure of individual agents were proposed. Moreover, the agent communication and cooperation mechanisms were presented, and a hierarchical algorithm was designed to solve competition conflicts among the agents. Finally, a prototype system is developed and applied for the monitoring of fully mechanized coal-mining equipment. The application results showed that the proposed system is feasible and efficient.
