Next-Link: An Experiment in Coordination of Distributed Agents
--------------------------------------------------------------
In this talk, Next-Link, a system that uses distributed design agents
to configure and route cable harnesses for missiles and airplanes, will
be described. Each design agent consists of a human design engineer in
conjunction with a specialized design software tool. A semi-hierarchical
architecture that reduces sources of conflict will be described.
Redux' is a control agent that coordinates the design task. Among other
coordination functions, Redux' provides general support for resolution
of conflicts. In this talk, I will describe the current architecture
and status of the Next-Link project and how Redux' is used to support
conflict resolution in combination with design documentation.
