| Abstract: | 協調為代理者在有限資源的環境中協調整合自身行為，以符合本身利益或群體目標，相依代理者個體之間以有效資訊連結，符合協調與調整整體資源配置的功能，達成彼此之間的協定。然而，在協調的過程，協調代理者的有效資訊連結必須要有一個方法加以評估。本計畫擬提出一個評估自主性代理者設計協調有效性之方法，以都市戶外空間設計為應用領域，架構在先前所發展建構的「城市好所在模式庫(cozy place)」，其目的在於透過數值分析評量協調代理者在設計模式的互動過程中協調的有效性。採用自主性協調代理者來模擬設計所要達成的目標，建立一個協調模型，定義代理者群組協調集合，將設計物件的協調程序所產生之衝突視為各群組代理者之協調問題，並轉換成設計運算機制，使用經驗法則使下一回合協調最佳化。因此，透過自主性協調代理者來導引整個過程的進行，在模擬過程中自主性協調代理者所產生的傳播步驟可以引發連鎖效應，物件的重組與連結將會從中產生，自主性代理者之間的自動協調使得各群組完成設計目標所耗費的時間減少，最後並以城市好所在的協調機制設計模式為例，來驗證本計畫所提出的評估方法。藉由研究過程，進而發現群組代理者協調所產生的衝突問題，透過模擬的數值分析描述該機制之實際應用可能面臨的限制與條件。也由於互動協調的過程能被動態的紀錄在本研究所開發之系統資料內，包括協調代理者生命週期、連結總數值、連結深度、連結指數等，因此可以重新利用這些過程記錄，討論智能化設計問題解決的程序。
Coordination refers to agents that coordinate their own behavior in an environment of finite resources to conform to individual benefits or group goals. Dependent agents use effective information connections for coordinating and adjusting resource distribution, thereby reaching agreements between dependent agents. However, during the process of coordination, an effective method of assessment is necessary for information linkage. This research proposes an effective method for assessing the design of the coordination of autonomous agents, which can be applied to urban outdoor space design based on the developed “cozy place” model base. The purpose of this research is to assess the coordination effectiveness of coordination agents during the interaction process of the design model via numerical analysis. This project adopts autonomous coordination agents to simulate the design goal, constructs a coordination model, and defines the coordination collections of agent groups, and regards the conflicts in the coordination process as the coordination problems of agents in each group. The coordination problems of this research were converted into design computing mechanisms, and rules of thumb were used to optimize the coordination effect in the next round. By introducing the coordination process through autonomous coordination agents, the communication procedures of autonomous coordination agents can trigger chain reactions, which produce the reconstruction and linkage of objects, reducing the time for accomplishing the design goals by stimulating the autonomous coordination between the autonomous agents. Finally, this research used the design model of the coordination mechanism of cozy places as an example to verify the assessment method proposed by this research. Through the study process, this research further unearthed the conflicts produced by the coordination of group agents. Therefore, this study used simulated numerical analysis to describe the potential limits and conditions in the application of the practical mechanism. Moreover, the interaction of coordination could be dynamically recorded in the system database developed by this study, including the life cycle of coordination agents, the total value of the linkages, the depth of connection, and connection indices. Therefore, this research can investigate the problem-solving procedures of intellectual design using these records. |
