In this paper, the basic architecture of an agent system was designed and a KQML(Knowledge Query and Manipulation Language) handler was implemented to handle 'tell', 'ask', 'handles' and 'interested' KQML performatives. The basic architecture of an agent system consists of a KQML handler, a KIF interpreter and a Flow control code. Agents use KIF(Knowledge Interchange Format) to represent the actual knowledges that are transmitted. They communicate others via an external language called KQML, which contains contents of messages written in KIF. The KQML handler controls communication. Contents of messages through it are stored and interpreted by the KIF interpreter. The flow control code controls the flow of program and information and performs engineering tasks. It gets knowledges from the knowledge base of the KIF interpreter and the other agents.

This paper proposes a new design strategy that can overcome limitations of two existing approaches, focusing on performance and scalability issues among various architectural issues which must be considered in designing workflow systems. In the proposed approach, we suggest to introduce 'delegation model' which corresponds to the high-level strategy utilizing the fundamental characteristics of mobile agents, after establishing a mobile agent-based workflow system architecture focused on performance and scalability. We point out three major issues that should be considered in this approach and propose a 3-tier mobile agent-based workflow system architecture that effectively reflects these considerations. Also, we show that the new approach can provide better performance and scalability than existing ones - approaches based on the client-server paradigm and other approaches based on mobile agent paradigm represented by DartFlow system - by evaluating performance of the proposed architecture through the GSPN simulation.

M&S in the field of national defense is a battle system has been highly spotlighted for obtaining weapon systems, analyzing and experimentation of battle effects to reduce costs, time, and risks. It is classified as Campaign, Mission, Engagement, and Engineering levels by detail of description. In engagements, many situations on the battle field which are really unpredictable are required to be considered on the view of diverse tactics. Thus, engagement simulation is in demand to use for forecasting real-world battle situations by inserting various components which consists of real engaging situations into virtual local battle field. While developing the engagement simulation, adopting the concept of agent-based simulation gives it benefits which are improved autonomy, composability, and reusability of entities. It means reducing the time, cost and effort to develop the simulations. This paper concentrates on the framework of multi-agent based engagement simulation using Cougaar Architecture.

When using reliable multicast protocol over air links, the multicast packets lost in the air link cause the initiation of retransmission request packets and the implosion of retransmission packets, which deteriorate multicast session performance. This paper proposes on the efficient reliable multicast mechanism in wireless networks utilizing the Agents. In this paper we show the design of a retransmission agent which improves the performance of reliable multicast sessions in wireless network. The main idea is to cache reliable multicast packets at the base station and perform local retransmissions across the wireless link. MATLAB has been used to simulate and to get performance results for signaling overhead and processing delay through the comparison of the proposed agent model to the Multicast File Transfer Protocol. It has been proven from the simulation results that the proxy module make pass trials shorter in Multicast File Transfer Protocol.

Recently the intelligent agent systems have been emerged as one of key issues for developing the defense M&S systems. However, most conventional agent architecture of M&S systems utilize the script-based models and can only deal with the individual behaviors so that they cannot suitably describe the precise tactical/strategic behavior and/or complex warfare environment. To overcome these problems, we have proposed the hierarchical multi-agent system architecture that is able to intelligently cope with the complex missions based on the functional role of each agent on the hierarchy such as an intelligence officer, captain, warship commander. Several simulation tests performed on 2:2 warship warfare models will illustrate our techniques.

Recently, great improvements have been made in developing autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) using stateof- the-art technologies for various kinds of sophisticated underwater missions. To meet increasing demands posed on AUVs, a powerful on-board computer system and an accurate sensor system with an well-organized control system architecture are needed. In this paper, a new control system architecture is proposed for AUV, ORCA (Oceanic Reinforced Cruising Agent) which is being currently developed by Korea Research Institute of Ships and Ocean Engineering (KRISO). The proposed architecture uses a hybrid architecture that combines a hierarchical architecture and a behavior based control architecture with an evaluator for coordinating between the architectures. This paper also proposed a sensor fusion structure based on the definition of 4 categories of sensors called grouping and 5-step data processing procedure. The development of the AUV, ORCA involving the system architecture, vehicle layout, and hardware configuration of on-board system are described.

For the effective operation of manufacturing system, FMS(Flexible Manufacturing System) and CIM(Computer Integrated Manufacturing) system are developed. In these systems, a machine tool is the target of integration in last 3 decades. In nowadays, the conventional concept of machine tools is changing to the autonomous manufacturing device based on knowledge-evolution through applying advanced information technology in which open architecture controller, high speed network and internet technology are contained. In this environment, a machine tool is not the target of integration but the subject of cooperation. In the future, a machine tool will be more improved in the form of a knowledge-evolution based device. In order to develop the knowledge-evolution based machine tools, this paper proposes the structure of knowledge evolution in M2M(Machine To Machine) and the scheme of a dialogue agent among agent-based modules such as a sensory module, a dialogue module, and an expert system. The dialogue agent has a role of interfacing with another machine for cooperation. To design the dialogue agent module in M2M environment, FIPA-OS and ping agent based on FIPA-OS are analyzed in this study. Through this, it is expected that the dialogue agent module can be more efficiently designed and the knowledge-evolution based machine tools can be hereafter more easily implemented.

In order to overcome disadvantages of existing centralized network management systems that use simple objects, dynamic object platforms are proposed as alternative systems. So the distributed network management systems are implemented using various distributed platform such as CORBA and Java-RMI. Subsequently mobile agent-based platforms are proposed. The mobile agent-based platform can additionally provide flexibility and scalability to network management system that CORBA or Java-RMI based platforms do not support. In this paper, we address an architecture to solve the problem of the occurrence of additional traffic by using mobile agent and to save resources of network element. Our proposal in this paper is an efficient network management architecture using motile agents. And we make use of mobile agents for minimizing of traffic that can happen when mobile agents moves. Also we design agents using information architecture of TMN for efficient resource management of network element and improvement of operation performance.
