전자 상거래와 같이 통신 보안이 요구되는 응용 분야에 에이전트 기술을 효과적으로 적용하려면 에이전트 기술과 보안 기술의 결합이 요구된다. 본 논문은 공개키 기반 구조 기술과 에이전트 기술을 결합하여, 기밀성(privacy), 완전성(integrity), 신원 확인(authentication), 부인 방지(non-repudiation)등의 보안 기능을 지원하는 다중 보안 에이전트 엔진 모델을 제안한다. 각 에이전트는 구조적으로 에이전트 엔진 계층과 에이전트 응용 계층으로 구성된다. 제안한 보안 에이전트 모델의 설계에는 자가 송수신 메시지, 보안 채널 그리고 에이전트 응용 계층에서의 KQML(Knowledge Query and Manipulation Language) 메시지와 에이전트 엔진 계층에서의 메시지의 구분이라는 개념들이 사용되었다. 제시된 보안 에이전트 엔진 모델이 제공하는 에이전트 언어는 기존 에이전트 언어인 KQML의 내용층 및 메시지층에 대한 아무런 수정이나 제약 조건 없이 통신 계층만을 확장하여 보안 기능을 표현하며, 에이전트간의 보안 통신은 에이전트 언어 상에서 투명하게 표현되는 보안 채널을 통해 이루어진다는 특징을 갖는다.

RMON Agent 시스템은 각각의 서브 네트워크에 하나씩 있으며, 해당 네트워크에서의 패킷들을 수집, 분석하여 네트워크관리에 필요한 정보를 추출한다. 이러한 네트워크 관리에 필요한 프로토콜별 또는 호스트별 패킷양에 대한 관리정보는 RMON의 MIB에 정의되어 있다. RMON Agent 시스템은 해당 네트워크상의 모든 패킷을 수집, 분석해야 하므로 장비의 성능이 떨어질 경우에는 대규모 네트워크에서의 패킷 분실 우려가 있다. 본 논문에서는 RMON Agent의 대규모 네트워크에서의 패킷분실을 최소화하고 효율적인 관리정보를 수집할 수 있도록 설계하였다.

Recently, there are lots of concerning on robot agent system working for itself with the trends of the research of bio-mimetic system and intelligent robot. In this paper, a virtual 3D interface system is proposed based on Internet for remote controlling and monitoring of mobile robot. The proposed system is constructed as manager-agent model. A worker can order the robot agent move to a new position by clicking the destination on virtual space of 3D graphic interface in manager. Then the robot agent move to the position automatically with avoiding collision by using range finding and autonomous control algorithm. The proposed robot agent system lets us control the mobile robot remotely located more conveniently.

A service restoration is one of the most important missions in distribution system operation. This paper proposes a multi-agent system approach to distribution system restoration. Every relay is developed as an agent by adding its own intelligent, self-tuning and communication ability. Relay agent calculates and corrects its restoration index by itself through communication with neighboring agents and its own intelligence. The proposed algorithm is applied to a simple network to show how to calculate restoration index. Keywords Multi-Agent System, Service Restoration, Distribution Networks

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.

Business forecasting is vital to the success of business. There has been an increasing demand for building business forecasting software system to assist human being to do forecasting. However, the uncertain and complex nature makes is a challenging work to analyze, design and implement software solutions for business forecasting. Traditional forecasting systems in which their models are trained based on small collection of historical data could not meet such challenges at the information explosion over the Internet. This paper presents an agent oriented business forecasting approach for building intelligent business forecasting software systems with high reusability. Although agents have been applied successfully to many application domains. little work has been reported to use the emerging agent oriented technology of this paper is that it explores how agent can be used to help human to manage various business forecasting processes in the whole business forecasting life cycle.

As the number of people going aboard is growing and technology is developed rapidly, Chinese customers are also getting better understanding about overseas products, and they hope to get less expensive and better ones, which leads to the growth of the online overseas purchasing agent service. In this paper, we tried to analyze the factors that impact the usage of online overseas purchasing agent service using the survey data. We found that customers pursue not only the reasonable prices but also enjoyment of shopping in the online overseas purchasing agent service. In addition, product scarcity and the information literacy of a customer were positively related with the use of online overseas purchasing agent service.

Negotiation is a process of reaching an agreement on the terms of a transaction. such as price, quantity, for two or more parties. Negotiation tries to maximize the benefits for all parties concerned. instead of using human-based negotiation. the e-commerce environment provides such an environment as adopting automated negotiation. Thus. choosing agent technology is appropriate for an automatic electronic negotiation platform. since autonomous software agents strive for the best deal on behalf of the human participants. Negotiation agents need a clear-cut definition of negotiation models or strategies. In reality, most bargaining systems embody nearly one negotiation model. In this article. we present a mobile agent negotiation system with reusable negotiation strategies that allows agents to dynamically embody a user's favorite negotiation strategy which can be preinstalled as a component in the system. We develop a prototype system, which is fully implemented in compliance with FIPA specifications, and then. describe the benefits of using the system.

Multi-agent systems often need to achieve the goal of learning more effectively for a task through coordination. Although the introduction of deep learning has addressed the state space problems, multi-agent learning remains infeasible because of the joint action spaces. Large-scale joint action spaces can be sparse according to implicit or explicit coordination structure, which can ensure reasonable coordination action through the coordination structure. In general, the multi-agent system is dynamic, which makes the relations among agents and the coordination structure are dynamic. Therefore, the explicit coordination structure can better represent the coordinative relationship among agents and achieve better coordination between agents. Inspired by the maximization of social group utility, we dynamically construct a factor graph as an explicit coordination structure to express the coordinative relationship according to the utility among agents and estimate the joint action values based on the local utility transfer among factor graphs. We present the application of such techniques in the scenario of multiple intelligent vehicle systems, where state space and action space are a problem and have too many interactions among agents. The results on the multiple intelligent vehicle systems demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of our proposed methods.

In network human-robot interaction, human can access services of a robot system through the network The communication is done by interacting with the distributed sensors via voice, gestures or by using user network access device such as computer, PDA. The service organization and exploration is very important for this distributed system. In this paper we propose a new agent-based framework to integrate partners of this distributed system together and help users to explore the service effectively without complicated configuration. Our system consists of several robots. users and distributed sensors. These partners are connected in a decentralized but centralized control system using agent-based technology. Several experiments are conducted successfully using our framework The experiments show that this framework is good in term of increasing the availability of the system, reducing the time users and robots needs to connect to the network at the same time. The framework also provides some coordination methods for the human robot interaction system.
