| 英文摘要 | In 1990, Chinese famous scientist Xuesen Qian proposed a new science, which is named Open Complex Giant Systems and its methodology - metasynthesis from qualitative to quantitative. This theory has caught widespread attention in areas of artificial intelligence, system sciences, and management science during the recent ten years. In this paper, we take the engineering technology of this theory, a hall for workshop of metasynthetic engineering(HWME), as an instance of open giant intelligent systems(OGIS), and empirically discuss several important theoretical and practical problems, which are closely related to the design of agent-oriented OGISs, in the light of interdisciplinary knowledge and methods. On the basis of a review of the evolutionary processes and their characteristics of artificial intelligence and intelligent systems, we discuss some key problems related to metasynthesis, and the relationship between metasynthesis and decision-making. We argue that the process of metasynthesis from qualitative to quantitative is a system of knowledge production, management and services. The essence of an HWME is a human-computer-cooperated intelligent information system. In terms of decision-making, an HWME can be viewed as the most advanced form of a decision support system. Then, we discuss the hierarchical model and the complexity of an open giant intelligent system from the viewpoint of systematism. We argue that the agent-oriented paradigm is the most suitable one for building an OGIS based on the comparison of mainstream computing models and the reasoning of feasibility. Furthermore, we propose a new theory foundation and a societal abstraction for agent-based computing for coping with the limitations of the mainstream agent-oriented abstraction. We discuss the conception of multi-agent society and the relationship between multi-agent organization and its environment in term of the new agent theory. We believe societal interactions among MAS organization and among MAS organization and its environment is a unified mechanism in multi-agent society. With the construction of an HWME, we propose some new ideas, for instance an Internet-based HWME; we further discuss design methods of an agent-oriented OGIS, and the organization structures and organization relationships, software architectures of multi-agent society. Finally, we propose an agent-oriented computing model based on the idea of agent component patterns and multi-agent organizational schemes, according to this model we view an agent-oriented OGIS as an artificial agent ecosystem. We present a prototype of agent-oriented HWME showing how to design the types of agents, software framework and their working mechanisms, and agent- based distributed resource integration based on the proposed computing paradigm. Although our empirical research work is to some degree a small part of the completely ideal solution, we believe it is possible to build a pra |
