Multiagent System for Detecting and Solving Design-Time Conflicts in Civil Infrastructure
2012
One typical source of problems in the Civil Infrastructure domain is the distributed and collaborative nature of the projects in which different profiles of engineers contribute with designs devoted to the interest of their field of expertise. Thus, situations in which there are different conflicts of interests are quite common. A conflict refers to a situation in which the actions of an engineer collide with the interests of other engineers. In this paper, we present a multi-agent system that, thanks to the use of ontologies and rules on those ontologies, is able to detect profilespecific conflict situations and solve them according to the preferences of the parties involved in the conflic…
Distributed Cognition Learning in Collaborative Civil Engineering Projects Management
2012
Due to the diversity and complexity of its projects, the Civil Engineering domain has historically encompassed very heterogeneous disciplines. From the beginning, any Civil Infrastructure project is systematically divided into smaller subprojects in order to reduce or isolate the overall complexity. However, as a parallel design work, these subdesigns may experience divergences which often lead to design conflicts when they are merged back to the global design. If a high-quality design is desired, these conflicts need to be detected and solved.We present a Multiagent system able to manage these design conflicts by detecting them, by assisting the engineers in the negotiation of solutions, a…
