초록

인터넷상에서의 전자상거래의 중용성과 복잡성이 증가함에 따라 상거래과정을 통해 소비바와 공급자 양쪽을 다 효율적으로 지원할수 있는 지능형 소프트웨어 에이전트에 대한 관심과 요구가 급속도가 늘어나고 있다. 이러한 에이전트를 기반으로 한 지능형 전자상거래를 실현하기 위해서는 상품정보의 표준적 온토로지의확립. 메시지 교환 및 교섭을 위한 포로토콜의 정의와 중계기술의 기반기술을 바탕으로 다 중에이전트기반의 전자상거래시스템이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 에이전트 기반의 전자상거래를 위한 개방형 기반구조의 하나로 지능형 전자상거래시스템,. ICOMA를 제안한다. 구체적으로 6종류의 에이전트기반의 전자상거래시스템의 구보와 에이전트간 상호교섭 및 상호 통신을 위한 포로토콜, 개인적응형 상품검색 및 필터링 기능을 제안, 설계, 구현하였고, 실험을 통해 그 유효성을 확인하였다.

With the increasing importance and complexity of EC (Electronic Commerce) across the Internet, the need and expectation for intelligent software agents to support both consumers and suppliers through the whole process of EC are growing rapidly. To realize the intelligent EC. a multiagent based EC system. which includes foundational technologies such as the establishment of standard product ontology the definition of message and negotiation protocol and brockering, is required. In this paper we propose an intelligent EC System named ICOMA(Intelligent electronic CO mmerce system based on Multi-Agent) as an open infrastructure of multiagent-based EC. Concretely we have proposed. designed and implemented an architecture of multiagent-based EC system including 6-types of agents message protocol for inter-agent negotiation, personalized produst retrieval and filtering., We have confirmed the effectiveness of the system through experiments.
