This paper deals with an EJB-based database agent(component) used to define workflow processes, which is a core function of the e-Chautauqua workflow management system that is an on-going research product. We describe about how to design and implement the EJB-based DB agent that is deployed on EJB server as a component. The agent is located between the build-time clients and the database system, and manages database accesses, such as retrieves and stores, from the workflow definition components. Through the EJB technology, we are able to accomplish a stable database agent that can be characterized by the distributed object management, reliable recovery mechanism from system failovers, reliable large-scale transaction management, and the security functions.

The goal of this paper is to propose a way to register agents so that makes users or autonomousagents to find target agents more conveniently and efficiently. In order to achieve this goal, we first survey the key technologies such as UDDI, ebXML, FIPA DF. As the results, we designed a new agent legistry/repository system based on ebXML technologies. We introduce our agent/repository system for wide area network and describe how to use our system for agent registering and searching target agents for communications. Finally, we give an example to illustrate a typical scenario in which user receives the results from our proposed agent registry/repository system and evaluate its characteristics in terms of advantage.

As super-high-strength concrete uses a large amount of binder, there is an autogenous shrinkage strain larger than dry shrinkage and it degrades the quality of structures. Thus, we need a technology to minimize the shrinkage strain of super-high-strength concrete. Accordingly, the present study prepared super-high-strength concrete with design strength of over 100MPa and, using an embedded gauge, measured the shrinkage strain of free shrinkage specimens for super-high-strength concrete containing expansion agent. According to the results of this study, the expansion rate of concrete increased in the early stage due to the admixture of expansion agent, but the shrinkage rate went down with the lapse of time. The effect of the admixture of expansion agent on compressive strength appeared insignificant. Further research shall be made on different kinds of expansion agents and various mixture ratios for basic analysis to reduce autogenous shrinkage of super-high-strength concrete.

Today people are very interested in an electronic commerce based on web according to the rapid growth of Internet and multimedia technology. Buyers want the special services for themselves as they become more reasonable, wiser and deepening the tendency of personality. But today most electronic commerce only serves the catalog of goods which buyers see and choose shapes and standards of goods. It is needed sale agent using sale clerks' knowledge beyond the level of service only offering the information about goods to satisfY buyers. So in this thesis buyers can buy the goods suiting buyers' taste using ISA(lntelligent Sale Agent), sale clerks in cyber in place of sale clerks in actual shops in real world. The use of this kind of intelligent sale agent makes buyers save the time for searching for goods and do shopping suiting buyers' taste.

Character agent based Multimodal Presentation Markup Language(MPML) has been developed to increase the efficiency of the presentation using a computer. However, authoring of a presentation by using MPML is not simple because MPML describes only the behavior of the character agent. It describes the presentation background by importing HTML documents. This paper proposes EMPML(Extended MPML) which describes not only the behavior of the character agent but also the presentation background. And an authoring tool for the EMPML has been designed and implemented. By integrating the editing of the presentation background and character agent behavior, the proposed authoring tool supports WYSIWIG(What You See Is What You Get) mode designing. By using the proposed authoring tool, users can make a multimodal presentation without knowing the details of EMPML.

Current service discovery protocols such as UPnP, Jini, SLP provide the basic function which is message exchange pattern, service representation and description, in service discovery. They does not guarantee service interoperability among service discovery. Therefore, in this paper, we design and implement CLAM (Component-based Autonomic Layered Middleware) agent platform to enable an efficient service discovery through extension of DF agent function in FIPA-compliant specification. Also, we propose an efficient service discovery mechanism using DHT-Chord algorithm to guarantee scalability and interoperability in DF agent.

In this thesis a shipping broker agent system, which can be executed by a CORBA-based environment using the distributed object technique, CORBA is designed and implemented Nowadays, while the EC system is extensive on the web, legacy host systems have limitations and its capacity-upgrade os required. In order to solve these problems the method that distributes programs into several computer systems can reduce their loads, set low system capacity and minimize network bottleneck. In this thesis using Agent Communication Language(ACL), we propose an agent based prototype and implement an intelligent agent prototype for ships search using CORBA, which can exchange and shiare data between different systems.

In this paper, a home network access agent, which controls and monitors networked appliances at home using various terminals regardless of user's location, is designed and implemented. The proposed access agent integrates wire and wireless network on a home gateway (or home server) and is accessed with consistent messages using various terminals such as a web terminal, a PDA and a cellular phone. Also, in order to verify the operation and availability of the agent, a user interface for the various terminals is designed and a home network testbed which is accessed and controlled by the terminals is implemented.

유비쿼터스 환경에서 사용자에게 유용한 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 기능을 명시적으로 제공하기 보다는 사용자의 요구에 따라서 능동형으로 제공하는 기능이 필요하다. 이러한 능동형 서비스는 알아서 서비스를 수행하는 기능으로 CAMUS 시스템에서는 서비스 탐색 부분에서 사용된다. 즉 시스템의 상황에 따라서 메시지 시스템을 구현하는 경우에 자원의 형태에 따라서 영상 메세징, TTS 기능을 이용한 메세징, Text 기반 메세징 시스템으로 자동적으로 처리할 수 있다. 이를 위해 CAMUS 서버에는 SAM(Service Agent Manager) 과의 통신을 통해 환경 내에 존재하는 센서와 장치들 (Service Agent)을 관리 및 제어한다. 이러한 Service Agent Manager 는 여러 다양한 환경에 설치되어 환경 내에 위치한 다양한 센서로부터 정보를 얻고 그 정보를 CAMUS 메인 서버에 전달하는 한편 CAMUS 메인 서버로부터 실행명령을 받아 환경 내 장치를 제어하는 역할을 한다. 이러한 Service Agent Manager는 임의의 공간 내에 설치될 수 있으며 로봇단말이나 개인 휴대단말 등에도 설치될 수 있다 이 논문에서는 SAM(Service Agent Manager) 과 CAMUS 서버에서 원하는 서비스를 탐색하는 방법에 대한 내용을 기술하였다.

By using wireless terminal, the number of users who wish to use the multimedia service like the Internet as well as Short Message Services and voice service has increased dramatically over the last years. We propose the method that improves Mobile IPv4 (MIPv4) Regional Registration in wireless mobile networks to decrease traffic's transmission delay and message generation compared with an existing method We design the scheme in MIPv4 environments that a packet do not pass through the home agent transmitted from correspondent node to mobile node, if a mobile node moves to other mobility agent. Simulation results show that the proposed method significantly reduces the expenses for registration and delivering packet.
