Abstract
Spatial Information Grid (SIG) is an infrastructure that integrates and shares distributed, heterogeneous and large amounts of spatial information resources, organizes and processes them systematically, and provides capabilities of serve-on-demand for users. Aiming at the challenges and requirements in spatial information application area, the idea of applying multi-agent technology to SIG research is proposed in consideration of the characteristics of SIG. First, the necessity and feasibility are analyzed. On the basis of the research work at home and abroad, SIG Multi-Agent Environment (SIGMAE) is proposed, including the architecture and the agent structure. Then, the detailed application functionality of SIG multi-agent environment in SIG is studied. At last, the benefits and challenges are concluded.
