This paper presents an approach to solve the long-term generation expansion planning problem of the restructured electricity industry using an agent-based environment. The proposed model simulates the generation investment decisions taken by a particular agent (i.e. a generating company) in a market environment taking into account its competitors’ strategic investment. The investment decision of a particular company is modeled taking into account that such company has imperfect foresight on the future system development hence electricity prices. The delay in the construction of new plants is also explicitly modeled, in order to compute accurately the yearly revenues of each agent. On top of a conventional energy market, several capacity incentive mechanisms including capacity payment and capacity market are simulated, so as to assess their impact on the investment promotion for generation expansion. Results provide insight on the investment cycles as well as dynamic system behavior of long-term generation expansion planning in a competitive electricity industry.

This paper proposes an intelligent search modeling using avatar agent. This system consists of some modules such as agent interface, agent management, preprocessor, interface machine. Core-Symbol Database and Spell Checker are related to the preprocessor module and Interface Machine is connected with Best Aggregate Designer. Our avatar agent system does the indexing work that converts user's natural language type sentence to the proper words that is suitable for the specific branch information retrieval. Indexing is one of the preprocessing steps that make it possible to guarantee the specialty of user's input and increases the reliability of the result. It references a database that consists of synonym and specific branch dictionary. The resulting symbol after indexing is used for draft search by the internet search engine. The retrieval page position and link information are stored in the database. We experimented our system with the stock market keyword SAMSUNG_SDI, IBM, and SONY and compared the result with that of Altavista and Google search engine. It showed quite excellent results.

An agent Is an autonomous process that recognizes external environment, exchanges knowledge with external machines and performs an autonomous decision-making function in order to achieve common goals. The techniques fur tackling complexity in software need to be introduced. That is decomposition, abstraction and organization. Agent-oriented model ing has the merits of decomposition. In decomposition, each autonomous unit may have a control thread. Thread is single sequential flow in program. The use of thread in agent modeling has an important meaning in the performance of CPU and the relation of autonomous units.

Agent-based modeling (ABM), as a relatively new simulation technique, has recently gained in popularity in the civil engineering domain due to its uniquely advantageous features. Among many civil engineering applications, ABM has been applied to facility operation and management, such as energy consumption management, as well as the enhancement of maintenance and repair processes. The former studies used ABM to manage energy consumption through simulating human energy-related behaviors and their interactions with facilities, as well as electrical, heating, and cooling systems and appliances, while the latter used ABM to enhance maintenance process through facilitating coordination, negotiation, and decision making between facility managers, service providers, and repair workers. The present study aims to provide a short qualitative review on the most recent applications of ABM in the above-mentioned areas. Based on the review and follow-up analysis, the study identifies the advantages, disadvantages, and limitations of ABM applications to facility operation and management, and offers several potential future research topics in the hope of filling the existing literature gaps.

에이전트 기반 모델링 및 시뮬레이션(Agent-Based Modeling and Simulation)은 기존 시스템 수준에서의 시뮬레이션이 구현할 수 없는 에이전트의 세밀한 행동과 상호작용을 활용하여 시장이나 사회 현상의 모델링에 사용되는 기술이다. 그러나 에이전트 기반 모델링 및 시뮬레이션은 에이전트 기반 시스템의 지식 수준에서의 합리성의 원칙에 기반하여 구현되기 때문에 스스로의 목표 달성을 저해하는 에이전트를 표현할 수 없다[1]. 에이전트 기반 소프트웨어 공학 분야에서는 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위해 사회적 수준에서의 행동 법칙을 통해 해결하였으나[2], 구체적인 개발 방법론은 제시가 되어 있지 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 에이전트 기반 소프트웨어 공학 방법론인 트로포스와 사회적 행동 법칙을 결합하여 사회적 행동 법칙을 반영한 새로운 에이전트 기반 모델링 및 시뮬레이션 방법을 제안한다. 이를 위해 각 개발 단계별로 구체적인 과업을 명시하고 과업 별로 생성되는 산출물 분석을 통해 모델링 및 시뮬레이션의 과정을 설명한다. 또한 자가 적응적 스마트 그리드와 군 도메인 시스템에서의 구체적인 적용 사례와 실험을 통해 제안 방법을 검증한다.

AUML(Agent Unified Modeling Language)은 에이전트 소프트웨어 시스템의 명세화, 시각화, 생성을 목적으로 하는 언어이다. 본 연구에서는 소프트웨어의 복잡화, 대형화 추세에 자동화 응용 프로그램 생성 시스템들 중의 하나인 Together를 Agent의 BDI에 응용시키고 이를 컴포넌트 시스템의 상호 운영성에 대하여 고찰한다. 상호 운용성은 컴포넌트간의 데이터 교환에 의해 이루어지며 컴포넌트의 타입이 다르더라도 서로 협력할 수 있는 표준 명세서(FIPA:Foundation for Inteligent Physical Agent)를 기반으로 ACL 메시지, 그리고 프로토콜을 사용하며 이를 객체지향 모델링을 통한 메타모델기반 등을 이용하여 구현 시 오류를 최소화하는 방법과 정확성과 일관성에 관하여 연구한다.

Accidents on offshore oil and gas platforms (OOGPs) usually cause serious fatalities and financial losses considering demanding environment platforms locate and complex topsides structure platforms own. Evacuation planning on platforms is usually challenging. The computational tool is a good choice to plan evacuation by emergency simulation. However, the complex structure of platforms and varied evacuation behaviors usually weaken the advantages of computational simulation. Therefore, this study developed a simulation model for OOGPs to evaluate different evacuation plans to improve evacuation performance by integrating building information modeling (BIM) and agent-based model (ABM). The developed model consists of four parts: evacuation model input, simulation environment modeling, agent definition, and simulation and comparison. Necessary platform information is extracted from BIM and then used to model simulation environment by integrating matrix model and network model. During agent definition, in addition to basic characteristics, environment sensing and dynamic escape path planning functions are also developed to improve simulation performance. An example OOGP BIM topsides with different emergent scenarios is used to illustrate the developed model. The results showed that the developed model can well simulate evacuation on OOGPs and improve evacuation performance. The developed model was also suggested to be applied to other industries such as the architecture, engineering, and construction industry.

The goal of our research is to develop a formal modeling methodology for supervisory and controlling systems that have artificially intelligent features. This approach is agent-based and central to the development of the model of mobility agent considering reactivity for real-time purpose and deliberation for optimal realization and safe-fail problems for critical systems like Intelligent Transportation Systems by high-level Petri net. By using nets within nets we investigate the concurrency of the system and the agent in one model without losing the needed abstraction, and synchronous channels are introduced to denote the coordination and communication. Finally an example is demonstrated.

This study considers paging schemes that can page some cells or only one cell within the location area to reduce paging cost by using PAs (Paging Agents) and compares their performances by using a new analytic method. There are three ways of paging schemes using PAs; BSPA (Base Staton Paging Agent), 2SPA (2-Step Paging Agent), LAPA (Location Area Paging Agent). This study proposes exact performance of BSPA and 2SPA using a new analytic method based on Markov chain modeling to find the most efficient paging scheme. Numerical results for various circumstances are presented by using proposed analytic method to select a proper paging scheme in mobile communication networks.
