Design Of The Combat Unit’s Meta Model Based On Multi-Agent

In view of the importance of the command information system, the modeling of command information system has been widely discussed as an important issue. Due to the rapid development of the information technology, the battlefield environment has been networked. The command information system is facing increasingly complicated combat mission, so the system flexibility should be taken into account in modeling the command information system.Firstly, the state of the art research of the meta-model, including its definition, extension, designing method and application are introduced. And the research works of the multi-agent modeling, including the multi-agent negotiation and planning, are discussed.Secondly, according to the related concepts in the process of modeling the command information system, the Agent concept, meta-model and the mapping network of the role are presented. Since a number of combat units have been taken part in certain roles in the system when fufilling the mission, introduction of the role concept will be benefitial to design the combat unit’s meta-model of the command information system.On the basis of the above work, a method of meta-model designing of the combat unit is presented, that is, extracting eight elements from the system, of which the role is considered as the key element to establish the mapping model of the role. Based on the mapping model, the Agent’s meta-concept and meta-relationship are designed, and the meta-model is integrated and formalized. In the designing process, the related principles and focuses are also given in detail.Next, according to the specific condition of the command information system, three typical meta-models of the command information system are designed, including the task meta-model, control meta-model and logic meta-model, which are formally presented by the graphics.Finally, based on the above methods and technologies, a prototype system of the task allocation beteen unmanned platforms is developed, of which the architecture design and implementation are introduced. The case of the unmanned platform task allocation demonstrates the basic functions of the prototype system. Furthermore, The case describes the application process of three specific meta-models, which fully demonstrated that the meta-model is helpful to the command information system to become more intelligent and flexible.
