Abstract
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. This project adopts autonomous coordination agents to simulate the design goal, constructs a coordination model, defines the coordination collections of agent groups, and regards the conflicts in the coordination process as the coordination problems of agents in each group. Finally, this research used the design model of the coordination mechanism of cozy place design as an example to verify the assessment method proposed by this research.
