온톨로지는 에이전트가 지식 레벨 메시지 교환을 위해 사용하는 용어를 정의하는데 중요한 역할을 수행한다. 객체지향 모델링 중 특히 UML은 소프트웨어 공학 분야에서 많은 발전이 이루어져 왔으며, 대부분의 상업용 도구들에 의해 지원될 수 있다. 따라서, 에이전트 시스템에서 온톨로지 표현을 위해 UML을 사용한다면 에이전트 기반 시스템 개념의 이해를 돕는데 매우 효과적일 것이다. 본 연구는 온톨로지 모델링을 위해 UML 사용의 가능성을 제시하고자 한다.

In particular the ability to let agents represent high level abstraction of active entity in software system. This paper gives an overview of research for agent-oriented software and industrial applications.

Several different approaches and mechanisms are introduced to solve the UAV path planning problem. In this paper, we designed and implemented an agent-based simulation software using the Repast platform and Java Genetic Algorithm Package to examine an evolutionary path planning method by implementing and testing within the Repast environment. The paper demonstrates the life-cycle of an agent-based simulation software engineering project while providing a documentation strategy that allows specifying autonomous, adaptive, and interactive software entities in a Multi-Agent System. The study demonstrates how evolutionary path planning can be introduced to improve cognitive agent capabilities within an agent-based simulation environment.

Agent-based modeling and simulation (ABMS) is used to model of market and social phenomena by utilizing agents' fine-grained behaviors and interactions that cannot be implemented in a conventional simulation. However, ABMS represents irrational agents and hinders the achievement of individual or overall goals since ABMS is based on agent-based software, which follows the principle of rationality at the knowledge level [1]. This problem was solved in the agent-based software engineering (ABSE) field by using behavior laws for the social level [2]. However, they still do not propose the specific development methodology for how to develop the social level in a systematic way. Therefore, in order to propose agent-based modeling and simulation methods that reflect the behavior laws of social level characteristics, our study used the Tropos that can combine ABSE and social behavior laws for the presentation of concrete tasks and deliverables for each development step by step. In addition, the proposed method will be specified through experiments with specific application examples and case studies on the self-adaptive smart grid and the military domain system.

기존 워크플로우 시스템은 비즈니스 프로세스 내의 정보와 제어의 흐름 수행에 있어서 중앙 집중적인 워크플로우 엔진이 전체 실행의 모든 부분을 담당하고 있다. 이러한 워크플로우 시스템이 갖는 성능, 확장성 등 구조적 제약의 단점을 극복하기 위하여 워크플로우 엔진의 분산, 이동 에이전트의 적용, 웹 기반 등 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 단위 업무 스케쥴링 기능과 관련된 정보를 분산된 형태로 참가자에게 일임하여 워크플로우 엔진 부하를 줄이고, 프로세스 인스턴스 단위의 이동 에이전트를 적용하여 비동기적 특성을 이용한 성능 및 확장성의 향상을 제공하는 워크플로우 시스템의 설계 및 구현을 소개한다. 또한 제안한 시스템을 위하여 각 참가자별 스케쥴링 정보를 WfMC의 프로세스 정의 표준 언어인 WPDL로부터 추출하여 프로세스 테이블로 구성하는 방법을 제안한다.

Malicious attackers generally attempt to intrude the target systems by taking advantage of existing system vulnerabilities and executing readily available code designed to exploit blown vulnerabilities. To the network security administrators, the rat and minimal step in providing adequate network security is to identify existing system vulnerabilities and patch them as soon as possible. Network-based vulnerability analysis scanners (NVAS), although widely used by network security engineers, have shortcomings in that they depend on limited information that is available and generally do not have access to hast-specific information. Host-based vulnerability analysis scanner (HVAS) can serve as an effective complement to NVAS. However, implementations of HVAS differ from one platform to another and from one version to another. Therefore, to security engineers who often have to maintain a large number of heterogeneous network of hosts, it is impractical to develop and manage a large number of HVAS. In this paper, we propose an agent-based architecture named ISMAEL and describe its prototype implementation. Manager process provides various agent processes with descriptiom on vulnerabilities to check, and an agent process automatically generates, compiles, and executes an Java code to determine if the target system is vulnerable or not. The result is sent back to the manager process, and data exchange occurs in % format. Such architecture provides maximal portability when managing a group of heterogeneous hosts and vulnerability database needs to be kept current because the manager process need not be modified, and much of agent process remains unchanged. We have applied the prototype implementation of ISMAEL and found it to be effective.

90년대부터 인공지능(Artificial Intelligence)의 지식공학(knowledge engineering) 분야에서 온톨로지(Ontology)가 지식의 공유(sharing)와 재사용(reuse)관점에서 활발하게 사용되기 시작했다. 현재 온톨로지는 이런 지식공학 외에 에이전트에 기반한 소프트웨어 공학이나 전자상거래 등 여러 분야에 널리 퍼져 사용되고 있다. 그러나 그 적용범위의 다양함과 실체의 불분명함으로 인해 그 사용이 혼란스러운 것도 사실이다.(중략)

이 논문은 컴퓨터 소프트웨어 접근성을 평가하기 위한 '소프트웨어 접근성 평가 프레임워크'를 제안하고 구현하였다. 소프트웨어 접근성 평가 프레임워크를 제안한 이유는 소프트웨어를 평가하여 소프트웨어 접근성을 테스트하기 위한 것이다. 이것은 한국형 사용자 에이전트 접근성 지침 1.0에 근거하여 테스트하는 것으로 그 평가결과를 신뢰할 수 있다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

Recently software agent has been studied as a new abstraction unit of software engineering. The agent with autonomous, adaptability and cooperation attribute is accepted as a new abstraction unit especially in distributed systems, open systems, and complex systems. However, the progress of agent research has been slow and the realization of agent programming language seems to be far distant. Because the properties of agent are diverse, the opinions of researchers can not converge to one. In this situation, software agent framework is accepted more realistic alternative solution. However the knowledge for its development doesn't have been shared among developers. So they often have to make same errors. We will help sharing of knowledge and experience by using pattern language which has been used in object technology for long times. This paper proposes a reactive agent framework pattern language and validates it based on ATAM［l］ The increase of such indirect experience can reduce the waste of resource by preventing the same try and error. So agent framework developers are able to concentrate on more essential issues. Finally quality of software agent framework will be increased.

SNMP is a standard protocol for management of networking devices. Nowadays, most computer systems have capability to act as SNMP agents. In this paper, we developed a low overhead version of SNMP library for embedded systems, and implemented a monitoring software based on the library for a large number of target systems. The monitoring system consists of a monitoring server, SNMP agents, and client programs. The monitoring server collects status information from SNMP agents running on the monitoring targets, and sends summary information to client programs. We implemented two versions of clients, Java based standalone program and Web based program.
