中文摘要：

为了使计算机网络更加智能、人机交互过程更加自然,使分布式软件系统具有人的协调、协商、协作机制,产生了“软件人”——计算机网络环境下虚拟机器人。＂软件人＂技术融合分布式人工智能、并行分布式系统、移动智体和人工生命等理论和技术,是计算机网络时代的一项崭新而关键的技术。目前,＂软件人＂理论研究已取得重要成果,“软件人”在数字气田、智能ERP、供应链、信息安全、网络服务、智能游戏等领域已获得初步应用。将“软件人”理论与数字版权保护、出版印刷智能ERP、数字化印刷工作流程、印刷机智能控制等技术结合,“软件人”在出版印刷行业将具有广阔的应用前景。

英文摘要：

In order to enable the computer networks to become more intelligent, human-machine interaction process to be more natural, to enable the distributing software systems to have human＇s coordination, consultation, cooperation mechanisms. Soft Man, the virtual robot in the computer network environment, is given birth under this background. Soft Man integrates many theories and technology, such as Distributing Artificial Intelligence, Parallel Distributing System, Mobile Agents and Artificial Life etc. Soft Man is an advance and key technique in the age of computer network. Now, the important results of Soft Man theory research have been achieved, Soft Man has been applied in various fields, such as digital gas fields, intelligent Enterprise Resource Planning, supply chain, information security, network service, intelligent games etc. By combining Soft Man theory with digital copyright protection, publishing and printing intelligent enterprise recourses planning, digital printing workflow systems and press intelligent control etc, Soft Man will have broad application foreground in publishing and printing field.
