Research on distributed collaborative design environment supporting complex system-of-systems evolution

According to the design requirements of complex system-of-systems, an agent based Evolutionary System-of-Systems Integration Realization environment is presented. Based on some industry standards such as XML, SOAP and WSDL, this environment is designed with peer-to-peer communication between different agents, characterized with standardization of the interfaces, flexibility of the architecture and compatibility with other standard web services frameworks. Such an adaptable framework can effectively support the distributed collaborative design and hence promote the evolutionary integration of complex system-of-systems.
