In this paper, we implemented a FIPA-OS multi-agent framework bundle in OSGi Service Platform. FIPA-OS is an open agent platform for constructing FIPA compliant agent using mandatory components that required by all FIPA-OS agents to execution and optional components that FIPA-OS agent car optionally use. The platform supports communication between multiple agents and communication language which conforms to the FIPA standards. FIPA-OS framework bundle is composed of DE(Directory Facilitator), AMS(Agent Management System), ACC(Agent Communication Channel) and MTS(Message Transport System) bundle. These bundles installed in the OSGi service platform and their life cycle can be managed by the framework.

In this paper, we implemented the FIPA-OS framework bundle and service agent bundle over the OSGi service platform in home-sewer platform. The FIPA-OS is the first open source implementation of the FIPA standards and is a component-based toolkit implemented in Java. The FIPA-OS bundle is composed of two bundles. One is the communication bundle such as RMI, IIOP, HTTP and ACC. Another is the agent loader bundle. Experiments are conducted on the service agent communication and loading by the agent loader bundle, and the proposed bundles are successfully installed, stopped, and uninstalled over the OSGi service platform.

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-tool, this paper proposes the structure of knowledge evolution 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 of the dialogue agent module in M2M(Machine To Machine) 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-tool can be hereafter more easily implemented.

Recently, the conventional concept of a machine-tool in manufacturing systems is changing from the target of integration to the autonomous manufacturing device based on a knowledge evolution. Subsequently, a machine-tool has been the subject of a cooperation through an advanced environment where an open architecture controller, high speed network and internet technology are contained In the future, a machine-tool will be more improved in the form of a knowledge evolution based device.

It is expected that intelligent broadcasting service (IBS) will be able to provide broadcast programs based on user preference and program-associated information (metadata) in order to assist users to easily navigate the program contents being broadcast. So users can access program contents anytime/anywhere in the way they want. In this paper we propose a framework for IBS based on an intelligent software agent platform so called FIPA (Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents). We use an FIPA implementation. so called FIPA-OS, as a platform for exchanging user preferences and program information as FIPA messages between a server and clients. The user preference is modeled as the User Preference description scheme in MPEG-7 MDS (Multimedia Description Scheme).

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.

To design of the communication agent module in M2M environment, FIPA(Foundation of Intelligent Physical Agent) and ping agent based on JADE(Java Agent Development Framework) or FIPA-OS(Open Source) are analyzed in this study. Through this, it is expected that the agent communication can be more efficiently designed and the knowledge evolution based machine-tool can be hereafter more easily implemented.

HL7(Health Level 7)은 보건의료 분야에서 ANSI에서 승인한 SDO(Standards Developing Organization)들 중의 하나이다. 대부분의 SDO들은 약제. 의료 장비 이미지, 보험 처리 등과 같은 보건의료 분야에서의 표준을 만든다. HL7의 영역은 진료와 병원 행정적인 부분이다. HL7에서는 Version2.3, Version2.4, Version3.0 등을 포함해 Data Model. Arden Syntax, CCOW(Common Context Object Workgroup) CDA(Clinical Document Architecture) 등의 표준을 만들어 나간다. 본 논문에서는 이 표준들 중 CCOW에 대해 알아보고. 기존 Agent System에 좀 더 지능적이고 자율적인 CCOW 서비스를 제공하는 방안을 알아본다.

에이전트 시스템(agent system) 관련 기술은 이질적이고 분산된 환경에서 상호 운용성(interoperability)을 확보하기 위한 방법이 될 수 있다. 이런 에이전트 시스템의 국제 표준화를 진행해 나가고 있는 단체인 FIPA(Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents)는 1996년 에 형성되었고, 이질적인 시스템간의 상호 운용성을 최대화하기 위해서 국제적으로 인정된 명세서를 정기적으로 발표하고 있다. 하지만 최근까지 FIPA 표준안은 모바일 ad-hoc네트워크와 같은 환경을 고려하지 못하고 있다. 이러한 환경에서 에이전트는 이질적인 네트워크들에서 제공하는 서비스들을 이용할 수 없다. 이러한 문제점에 초점을 맞추어 본 논문에서는 FIPA 표준을 참고하여 만든 FIPA-OS(Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents Open Source) 를 수정한 에이전트 플랫폼을 제공한다. 우리는 이러한 에이전트 플랫폼을 이용하여 이질적인 환경에서 제공하는 서비스들에 대한 상호운용성과 에이전트 플랫폼 안에 DM(Discovery Middleware)을 추가하여 확장성을 보장한다. DM은 에이전트가 ad-hoc 네트워크 안에서 동작하는 서비스 디스커버리 기법들을 사용하여 서비스들을 찾고 생성할 수 있게 도와준다. 우리는 다양한 서비스 디스커버리 기법 중 UPnP (Universal Plug and Play)와 LSD (Lightweight Service Discovery Protocol)를 이용하여 DM을 구현하였다. UPnP는 UPnP 포럼에서 개발된 서비스 디스커버리를 위한 프로토콜의 집합이며 LSD는 우리가 만든 모바일 ad-hoc 네트워크에서 동작하는 새로운 서비스 디스커버리 프로토콜로 캐쉬 관리를 강조하여 개발하였다. 우리가 제안하는 DM을 이용하여 수정된 에이전트 플랫폼에서 UPnP와 LSD의 장비에서 제공되는 서비스들을 상호간 이용 할 수 있다.

유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경에서 분산되어 존재하는 서비스나 디바이스의 효과적인 사용을 위해서는 서비스의 종류나 서비스의 위치 등의 기본적인 정보가 사전에 제공되어야 한다. 이러한 기본 정보를 사용자의 요구에 맞게 정확히 탐색해서 찾아주는 일련의 과정을 서비스 디스커버리(Service Discovery)라 칭하며, 유비쿼터스 같은 분산 이동 환경에서 가장 먼저 구축되어야만 하는 시스템이다. 최근에는 발달된 에이전트 기술을 서비스 디스커버리와 접목시켜 분산되어 있는 서비스와 디바이스 그리고 사용자까지 효율적이고 유용성 있게 관리하는 추세이다. 각국의 기업이나 학교에서 수 많은 에이전트 플랫폼이 개발되어 왔지만, 각기 다른 개발 기준의 적용으로 인하여 에이전트 플랫폼 간의 상호운용(Interoperability)에 어려움이 존재한다. FIPA 에서는 이종 에이전트 플랫폼 간의 제공 서비스 상호운용을 위해서 디스커버리 미들웨어(Discovery Middleware) 모듈을 제안하였다. 본 논문에서는 FIPA-OS 와 JADE 그리고 SLP 플랫폼 들이 서로의 서비스를 공유할 수 있도록, FIPA 에서 제안한 디스커버리 미들웨어를 실질적으로 개발하여 상호간의 서비스 디스커버리가 이루어질 수 있도록 하였다.
