Abstract

A critical challenge to create effective agent-based systems is allowing them to operate effectively when the design environment is complex, dynamic, and error-prone. Much research has been made on multi-agent system (MAS) in CSCD field, especially on conflict handling, which is not yet well-addressed due to its sophistication. Conflict resolution plays a central role in collaborative design. In this paper, a prototype system of conflict resolution is presented, adopting solution of deadlock problems in the operating system to conflict prevention and classifying the conflicts to match solution strategies according to their features. Video conference negotiation strategy based on MICAD(Multimedia Intelligent CAD) platform, which is researched and implemented by our team, is adopted to deal with new conflicts that can not get matching strategies.
