In this study, we investigated the modeling and design of an Intelligent Agent System (IAS). To achieve this goal, we introduced several kinds of agents that exhibit intelligent features. These are the main agent, management agent, watcher agent, report agent and application agent. We applied the intelligent agent concept to two different application fields, i.e. the intelligent agent system for pattern classification and the intelligent agent system for bank asset management modeling.

This paper addresses an Intelligent Agent-based Open Architecture Cell Controller for Intelligent Manufacturing System(IMS). With an Intelligent Agent approach, the IMS will be a independent, autonomous, distributed system and achieve a adaptability to change of manufacturing environment. As the development methodology of Open Architecture Cell Controller, an object-oriented modeling technique is employed for building models associated with IMS operation, such as resource model, product model, and control model. Intelligent Agent-based Open Architecture Cell Controller consists of two kinds of dependant agents, that are the active agent and the coordinator agent. The Active agent is contributed to control components of IMS in real-time. The coordinator agent has great role in scheduling and planning of IMS. It communicates with other active agents to get information about status on system and generates the next optimal task through the making-decision logic and dispatch it to other active agent.

Recently, due to the widely use of personal computers and internet, many computer users requested intelligent system that can cope with various types of requirements and user-friendly interfaces. Based on this background, researches on the intelligent agent are now activating in various fields. In this paper, we modeled, designed and implemented an intelligent agent system for pattern classification by adopting intelligent agent concepts. We also investigated the pattern classification method by utilizing some pattern classification algorithms for the common data. As a result, we identified that 300 3-dimensional data are applied to three pattern classification algorithms and returned correct results. Our system showed a distinguished user-friendly interface feature by adopting various agents including graphic agent.

There are many kinds of multi-agent frameworks which support the high-level knowledge representation languages for providing intelligence to their agents. But, the agent programming interfaces of the frameworks require to use some general-purpose programming languages as well as tile knowledge representation languages. In general, knowledge representation languages and general-purpose programming languages are different in their levels and data representation models. The differences can make the problems about tile coupling of the elements which are necessary for developing intelligent agents. This paper describes a new type of intelligent agent shell INAS(INtelligent Agent Shell) version 2 which has developed to cope with the problems. Unlike the previous agent frameworks, INAS supports a high-level integrated agent building language for building intelligent agents by itself. Therefore, the development of intelligent agents by using INAS version 2 does not suffer from the problems of the previous agent frameworks. Through the development of several intelligent agents, we experienced that the agent building language of INAS version 2 could reduce the difficulties of developing intelligent agents.

Medical domain is very applicable for multi-agent system because medical information systems need much knowledge and close relationship with medical staff, In this paper, we describe design and implementation of an intelligent medical multi-agent platform that provides medical images'information services. This platform supports a physical environment that medical agents can be deployed following FIPA(Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agent)\`s agent management reference model. To use a variety of components on Windows, COM(Common Object Model) interfaces and XML(extensible Markup Language) for encoding ACL(Agent Communication Language) are used for multi-agent communications. Since many kinds of diverse and close relationships with medical staff) are essential, a medical staff is conceptualized as an agent and integrated with multi-agent systems. Also it provides an infrastructure applicable to share necessary knowledge between human agents and software agents in order to make intelligent medical information services easier.

In FMS (Flexible Manufacturing System) and CIM (Computer Integrated Manufacturing), machine-tools have been the target of integration in the last three decades. The conventional concept of integration is being changed into the autonomous manufacturing device based on the knowledge evolution by applying advanced information technology in which an open architecture controller, high-speed network and internet technology are included. In the advanced environment, the machine-tools is not the target of integration anymore, but has been the key subject of cooperation. In the near future, machine-tools will be more improved in the form of a knowledge-evolutionary intelligent device. The final goal of this study is to develop an intelligent machine having knowledge-evolution capability and a management system based on internet operability. The knowledge-evolutionary intelligent machine-tools is expected to gather knowledge autonomically, by producing knowledge, understanding knowledge, reasoning knowledge, making a new decision, dialoguing with other machines, etc. The concept of the knowledge-evolutionary intelligent machine is originated from the machine control being operated by human experts' sense, dialogue and decision. The structure of knowledge evolution in M2M (Machine to Machine) and the scheme for a dialogue agent among agent-based modules such as a sensory agent, a dialogue agent and an expert system (decision support agent) are presented in this paper, with intent to develop the knowledge-evolutionary machine-tools. The dialogue agent functions as an interface for inter-machine cooperation. To design the dialogue agent module in an M2M environment, FIPA (Foundation of Intelligent Physical Agent) standard platform and the ping agent based on FIPA are analyzed in this study. In addition, the dialogue agent is designed and applied to recommend cutting conditions and thermal error compensation in a tapping machine. The knowledge-evolutionary machine-tools are expected easily implemented on the basis of this study and shows a good assistance to sensory and decision support agents.

The collaboration productively interacting between multi-agents has become an emerging issue in real-world applications. In reinforcement learning, multi-agent environments present challenges beyond tractable issues in single-agent settings. This collaborative environment has the following highly complex attributes: sparse rewards for task completion, limited communications between each other, and only partial observations. In particular, adjustments in an agent's action policy result in a nonstationary environment from the other agent's perspective, which causes high variance in the learned policies and prevents the direct use of reinforcement learning approaches. Unexpected social loafing caused by high dispersion makes it difficult for all agents to succeed in collaborative tasks. Therefore, we address a paradox caused by the social loafing to significantly reduce total returns after a certain timestep of multi-agent reinforcement learning. We further demonstrate that the collaborative paradox in multi-agent environments can be avoided by our proposed effective early stop method leveraging a metric for social loafing.

Massive amount ofinformation is provided for the internet users. Therfore, the users are exposed even to the useless information. In this paper, a Intelligent Web-Agent system is present as a solution for this kind if users inconvinience. This Intelligent Web-Agent system i devised users to search by the keyword about which they get information and commend the sites which have more intensive relation with the examine keyword, judge by the users and the case-base constructed by the Intelligent Web-Agent system itself previously, so the users can access the essential web sites in short time. Intelligent Web-Agent system is compose of a interface-system and a learning system. According to the experiment, using the Intelligent Web-Agent System quicker than the case when not using the Intelligent Web-Agent System.
