Multi-Agent Model of the Integrated Ship Control System

Abstract

In modern conditions, integrated automation of management is a promising and economically profitable direction of its development, and the intellectualization of management is becoming increasingly important. The construction of an integrated ship control system with a single control, carried out from an integrated central control post -the navigator's automated workplace in the ship's wheelhouse is a major urgent problem. To solve this problem, it is proposed to use a model of a distributed architecture system based on multi-agent technologies, the principle of which is based on the decomposition of the general task into a number of local tasks assigned to the agents of the system, the distribution of these tasks between agents, the planning of collective behavior of agents, coordination of agent interaction based on cooperation, reconfiguration, communication and conflict resolution.A number of problems solved by an integrated ship control system is identified in the paper and the implementation of multi-agent technology using the processes of a ship's motion control system is considered as an example. The structure of the knowledge base of a multi-agent ship motion control system is presented. A knowledge base management system the key elements or the main agents of which are the coordinator of software agents, the ontology manager, and the communicator of software agents, is presented. The general scheme of the organization of interaction of agent platforms in the ship movement management is presented. The principles on the basis of which a multi-agent system for controlling the ship movement should be created are formulated. It is noted that it is advisable to use a model developed based on the requirements of the Federation of Intelligent Physical Agents, the standard that governs the development of multi-agent systems, and also defines the logical model of the agent platform and a set of services as the base model of the class of intelligent agent. It is proposed that further research will be directed to the formation of many ontologies that make up the knowledge base of the integrated ship control system, the construction of a relevant knowledge base management system that implements effective interaction of the main agents, as well as to the development of agent platforms that provide solutions to the ship control tasks.

Modeling an Ergatic System for Joint Control of Ship Motion

“…В работе [10] обоснована перспективность решения проблемы построения интегрированной системы управления судном с единым управлением, осуществляемым с комплексного центрального поста управления -автоматизированного рабочего места судоводителя в ходовой рубке судна. Предлагается для решения данной проблемы использовать модель системы с распределенной архитектурой на основе мультиагентных технологий, принцип действия которых основан на декомпозиции общей задачи на ряд локальных задач, возлагаемых на агентов системы, разделении их между агентами, планировании коллективного поведения агентов и координации их взаимодействия на основе кооперации, реконфигурации, коммуникации и разрешении конфликтных ситуаций.…”

“…Gaskarov and V.I. Doroshenko [9] offers a multi-agent model of an integrated ship control system. The disadvantages of multi-agent systems include the fact that at the moment they are "able" to solve only "narrow" problems.…”
