현재의 웹이 HTML을 바탕으로 인간 사용자와의 인터페이스에 초점을 맞추고 있는데 비하여, 차세대 웹은 XML 및 XML 기반 각종 표준들을 바탕으로 소프트웨어 에이전트와의 인터페이스에 초점을 맞추어 나가고 있다. 차세대 웹에서 소프트웨어 에이전트의 두뇌 역할을 수행하기 위하여 추론엔진은 차세대 웹의 표준 언어인 시맨틱 웹(Semantic Web)을 충실히 이해할 수 있어야 한다. 이를 위한 기초 작업의 일환으로 OWL(Web Ontology Language)과 RuleML(Rule Markup Language)이 W3C에 제안된 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 SWRL을 규칙 표현 방법으로 사용하고, OWL을 사실 표현 방법으로 사용하는 역방향 추론엔진인 SMART-B(SeMantic web Agent Reasoning Tools - Backward chaining inference engine)을 개발하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 SWRL 기반 역방향 추론을 위한 요구 기능을 분석하고, 기존 역방향 추론 알고리즘에 차세대 시맨틱 웹을 요구 기능을 반영한 역방향 추론 알고리즘을 설계하였다. 또한, 유비쿼터스 환경에서의 각종 플랫폼의 독립성과 이식성을 확보하고 기기 간의 성능 차이를 극복할 수 있도록 사실 베이스 및 규칙 베이스의 관리도구와 역방향 추론 엔진 등을 Java 프로그래밍 언어를 이용하여 단위 컴포넌트의 형태로 개발 중에 있다.

While the existing Web focuses on the interface with human users based on HTML, the next generation Web will focus on the interaction among software agents by using XML and XML-based standards and technologies. The inference engine, which will serve as brains of software agents in the next generation Web, should thoroughly understand the Semantic Web, the standard language of the next generation Web. As abasis for the service, the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) has recommended SWRL (Semantic Web Rule Language) which had been made by compounding OWL (Web Ontology Language) and RuleML (Rule Markup Language). In this research, we develop a backward chaining inference engine SMART-B (SeMantic web Agent Reasoning Tools -Backward chaining inference engine), which uses SWRL and OWL to represent rules and facts respectively. We analyze the requirements for the SWRL-based backward chaining inference and design analgorithm for the backward chaining inference which reflects the traditional backward chaining inference algorithm and the requirements of the next generation Semantic Web. We also implement the backward chaining inference engine and the administrative tools for fact and rule bases into Java components to insure the independence and portability among different platforms under the environment of Ubiquitous Computing.

This paper analyzes the approaches of Web-based expert systems by comparing their pros and cons. and proposes a methodology of implementing the Web-based backward inference engines with reduced burden to Web servers. There are several alternatives to implement expert systems under the WWW environment : CGI, Web servers embedding inference engines external viewers Java Applets and HTML. Each of the alternatives have advantages and disadvantages of each own in terms of development and deployment testing scalability portability maintenance and mass service. Especially inference engines implemented using HTML possess relatively large number of advantages compared with those implemented using other techniques. This paper explains the methodology to present rules and variables for backward inference by HTML and JavaScript and suggests a framework for design and development of HTML-based Expert System. A methodology to convert a traditional rule base to an Experts Diagram and then generate a new HTML-based Expert System from the Experts Diagram is also addressed.

This paper describes an expert system for soldiers psychology diagnosis. In the field warfare, platoon leaders or company commanders have to diagnose his soldier's condition correctly. The expert systems, a field of artificial intelligence, can be appropriate approach for ill-structured paradigm. This use an UNIK system. This UNIK system is composed of UNIK-FRAME, UNIK-BWD, UNIK-WBI, UNIK-INDUCE and UNIK-Interface. Especially, UNIK-WBI system is very useful to display soldiers psychology diagnosis and so easy to use it. Any leader or commander can easily do this. This paper data is based on DSMIV. Through This expert system, combat power can be kept and accidents be protected.

지능형 에이전트란 환경상태를 인지하고 상태정보에 따른 적절한 행위를 자동적으로 수행하는 소프트웨어 객체를 말한다. 본 논문에서는 시맨틱 웹 환경에서 시맨틱 서비스를 지능적이고 자동적으로 수행하는 에이전트 개발을 통해서 시맨틱 웹 응용사례에 대해 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 제안하는 시맨틱 서비스 에이전트는 다음과 같은 핵심 요소 기술의 특징을 갖는다. 첫째, 시맨틱 웹 환경의 온톨로지와 메타데이터 및 사용자 프로파일을 자원으로 사용하여 상태정보를 인지한다. 둘째, SWRL(Semantic Web Rule Language)기반의 추론엔진을 통해서 인지된 상황 정보를 역방향 추론하고 지능적인 행동의 수행을 결정한다. 셋째, 시맨틱 웹 환경의 확장을 통한 에이전트의 활동 범위를 증가시키기 위해서 사용자 중심의 메타데이터 저작기능을 갖는다. 넷째, 시맨틱 서비스 에이전트는 온톨로지 서버 및 시맨틱 미들웨어를 통한 시맨틱 웹 인프라 시스템의 프레임워크를 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 시맨틱 서비스 에이전트의 실제 구현을 통해서 시맨틱 웹 환경이 제공하는 자원을 적극 이용하고 사용자 요구에 맞춰 이를 사용자에게 지능적이고 자동적인 서비스로 제공하는 에이전트를 제안한다.

As knowledge becomes a critical success factor of companies nowadays, lots of rule-based systems have been and are being developed to support their activities. Large number of rule-based systems serve as Web sites to advise, or recommend their customers. They usually use a backward chaining inference algorithm based on backtrack to implement those interactive Web-enabled rule-based systems. However, when the users like customers are using these systems interactively, it happens frequently where the users do not know some of the answers for the questions from the rule-based systems. We are going to design a backward chaining inference methodology considering unknown facts based on backtrack technique. Firstly, we review exact and inexact reasoning. After that, we develop a backward chaining inference algorithm for exact reasoning based on backtrack, and then, extend the algorithm so that it can consider unknown facts and reduce its search space. The algorithm speeded-up inference and decreased interaction time with users by eliminating unnecessary questions and answers. We expect that the Web-enabled rule-based systems implemented by our methodology would improve users' satisfaction and make companies' competitiveness.

Inference engine that performs the brain of software agent in next generation's web with various standards based on standard language of the web, XML has to understand SWRL (Semantic Web Rule Language) that is a language to express the rule in the Semantic Web. In this research, we want to develop a forward inference engine, SMART-F (SeMantic web Agent Reasoning Tools-Forward chaining inference engine) that uses SWRL as a rule express method, and OWL as a fact express method. In the traditional inference field, the Rete algorithm that improves effectiveness of forward rule inference by converting if-then rules to network structure is often used for forward inference. To apply this to the Semantic Web, we analyze the required functions for the SWRL-based forward inference, and design the forward inference algorithm that reflects required functions of next generation's Semantic Web deducted by Rete algorithm. And then, to secure each platform's independence and portability in the ubiquitous environment and overcome the gap of performance, we developed management tool of fact and rule base and forward inference engine. This is compatible with fact and rule base of SMART-B that was developed. So, this maximizes a practical use of knowledge in the next generation's Web environment.

The technology of Semantic Web realizes the base technology for context-awareness that creates new services by dynamically and flexibly combining various resources (people, concepts, etc). According to the realization of ubiquitous computing technology, many researchers are currently working for the embodiment of web service. However, most studies of them bring about the only predefined results those are limited to the initial description by service designer. In this paper, we propose a new service supporting model to provide an automatic method for plan related tasks which achieve goal state from initial state. The inputs on an planner are intial and goal descriptions which are mapped to the current situation and to the user request respectively. The idea of the method is to infer context from world model by DL-based ontology reasoning using OWL domain ontology. The context guide services to be loaded into planner. Then, the planner searches and plans at least one service to satisfy the goal state from initial state. This is STRIPS-style backward planner, and combine OWL-S services based on AI planning theory that enabling reduced search scope of huge web-service space. Also, when feasible service do not find using pattern matching, we give user alternative services through DL-based semantic searching. The experimental result demonstrates a new possibility for realizing dynamic service modeler, compared to OWLS-XPlan, which has been known as an effective application for service composition.
