하나의 에이전트로 해결하기 어려운 복잡한 문제를 해결하기 위한 방안으로 여러 에이전트들간의 상호작용과 협동을 통하여 작업이 수행되는 멀티에이전트 시스템을 구현하는 것이 점차 보편화되고 있다. 멀티에이전트 시스템의 중요한 특징 중의 하나는 여러 에이전트들 간의 능력과 정보가 서로 공유된다는 점이다. 멀티에이전트 시스템에서는 한 에이전트의 처리 견과론 다른 에이전트가 이용할 수도 있으며, 그 결과 또한 다시 다른 에이전트에게 제공되기도 한다. 그러나 각각의 에이전트들은 서로 다른 환경 하에서 구축된 이형질성과 원격지에서 작동하는 분산성으로 인해 하나의 시스템으로 통합하기가 용이하지 않다. 이를 해결하기 위한 방법의 하나로 이형질의 에이전트들 간에 정보 교환을 위한 파일랩퍼 (File Wrapper) 이용 방안이 있다. 한 에이전트의 처리 결과가 파일이라는 일반적인 형태로 존재한다고 할 때, 이러한 파일내의 정보를 추출하고 조합 및 가공하는 기능을 담당하는 것을 파일랩퍼(File Wrapper)라고 한다. 본 연구에서는 Java와 JavaCC를 이용하여 에이전트 스크립트 언어로 새롭게 구현된 파일랩퍼를 소개한다. 이 파일랩퍼는 파일에서 정보를 추출하기 위한 명령어들과 출력에 관련한 명령어들 그리고 작업의 효율성을 위한 명령어들로 구성된 텍스트 기반 언어로 구성되어 있다.

In 97hu2200, the Supreme Court of Korea suggested five requirements to apply the doctrine of equivalents, i.e. identity of problem-solving principles, interchangeability, ease of interchangeability, exception of known arts and file-wrapper estoppel. There have been arguments on whether the standard of ease of interchangeability could be regarded as the same as the obviousness standard in deciding patentability. The side who thinks that they are different (hereinafter, the side of difference) considers that the standard of ease of interchangeability is narrower than the obviousness standard. This side criticizes the side who thinks that they are the same each other (hereinafter, the side of the same) on the reason that doctrine of equivalents can be overly expanded. On the other hand, 'the side of the same' argues that every accused invention having no inventive step from the perspective of the patented invention should be considered to infringe. 'The side of the same' points that if the standard of ease of interchangeability is considered as narrower than the obviousness standard, 'grey area' should exist where the patent law cannot work. The difference between the two side may cause contradictory results in the decision of infringement under the doctrine of equivalents. Because 'the side of difference' construes claims narrowly than 'the side of the same,' an accused invention in the grey area is not regarded to infringe. 'The side of the same,' however, considers the accused invention to fall into the scope of the patent under the doctrine of equivalents. This paper concludes that the standard of ease of interchangeability should be regarded as the same as the obviousness standard from the perspective of economics of innovation.

In this paper, we explain the design and implementation of GWB(Gene WorkBench), which is a web-based, integrated system for efficiently managing and analyzing genomic sequences, Most existing software systems handling genomic sequences rarely provide both managing facilities and analyzing facilities. The analysis programs also tend to be unit programs that include just single or some part of the required functions. Moreover, these programs are widely distributed over Internet and require different execution environments. As lots of manual and conversion works are required for using these programs together, many life science researchers suffer great inconveniences. in order to overcome the problems of existing systems and provide a more convenient one for helping genomic researches in effective ways, this paper integrates both managing facilities and analyzing facilities into a single system called GWB. Most important issues regarding the design of GWB are how to integrate many different analysis programs into a single software system, and how to provide data or databases of different formats required to run these programs. In order to address these issues, GWB integrates different analysis programs byusing common input/output interfaces called wrappers, suggests a common format of genomic sequence data, organizes local databases consisting of a relational database and an indexed sequential file, and provides facilities for converting data among several well-known different formats and exporting local databases into XML files.
