A control system design based on coupled nonlinear oscillators (CNOs) for a self-organized swarm system is presented. In this scheme, agents self-organize to flock and arrange group formations through attractive and repulsive forces among themselves using CNOs. Virtual agents are also used to create richer group formation patterns. The objective of the swarm control in this paper is to follow a moving target with a final group formation in the shortest possible time despite some obstacles. The simulation results have shown that the proposed scheme can effectively construct a self-organized multi-agent swarm system capable of group formation and group immigration despite the emergence of obstacles.

Since people have come to access more and more information about products with the proliferation of the Internet, more and more customer-to-customer e-marketplaces are being introduced with rapidly increasing transaction volumes. As the role of customer-to-customer electronic commerce has become increasingly regarded as vital to the economy, much research has delved into developing intelligent agent systems to efficiently support customer-to-customer electronic commerce. Most of this research, however, has focused only on supporting simple negotiation for the price of common goods along the time span. To expand the negotiation object to the differentiated goods, the customer must be allowed to negotiate over multi-at-tributes of the product besides the price, including the attributes related to the transaction activity itself, such as delivery time and payment method. To satisfy this requirement, we propose an agent marketplace for differentiated goods where the agent of a customer can negotiate not only the price but also the various attributes of the product and the transaction in order to achieve a better utility level for both buyer and seller. The formal protocol and the architecture issues to support the proposed e-marketplace and agents are also addressed.

The network weather map and bandwidth time-series graph are popularly used to understand the current and past traffic condition of NSP, ISP, and enterprise networks. These systems collect traffic performance data from a SNMP agent running on the network devices such as routers and switches, store the gathered information into a DB, and display the network performance status in the form of a time-series graph or a network weather map using Web user interface. Most of current enterprise networks are constructed in the form of a hierarchical tree-like structure with multi-Gbps Ethernet links, which is quietly different from the national or world-wide backbone network structure. This paper focuses on the network weather map for current enterprise network. We start with the considering points in developing a network weather map system suitable for enterprise network. Based on these considerings, this paper proposes the best way of using SNMP in constructing a network weather map system. To prove our idea, we designed and developed a network weather map system for our campus network, which is also described in detail.

With the increasing importance and complexity of EC (Electronic Commerce) across the Internet, the need and expectation for intelligent software agents to support both consumers and suppliers through the whole process of EC are growing rapidly. To realize the intelligent EC. a multiagent based EC system. which includes foundational technologies such as the establishment of standard product ontology the definition of message and negotiation protocol and brockering, is required. In this paper we propose an intelligent EC System named ICOMA(Intelligent electronic CO mmerce system based on Multi-Agent) as an open infrastructure of multiagent-based EC. Concretely we have proposed. designed and implemented an architecture of multiagent-based EC system including 6-types of agents message protocol for inter-agent negotiation, personalized produst retrieval and filtering., We have confirmed the effectiveness of the system through experiments.

It is very difficult to construct and manager public transit, like subway, in small city. In this paper, we suggest full electric vehicle sharing service framework as a public transit system in small city. The suggested system will reduce environment pollution and increase resource usage efficiency. The simulation result shows that the suggested electric vehicle sharing system can reduce traffic congestion and lower city road stress.

컴퓨팅 환경이 점점 분산되고 협업의 필요성이 점점 증대되고 시스템간에 상호작용(interaction)이 동적이고 복잡해지면서 기존의 협업 시스템 패러다임을 벗어난 커뮤니티 컴퓨팅을 구성하는 요소를 정의하고 커뮤니티 모델의 에이전트들의 상호작용 유형을 프로토콜의 형식으로 모델링 하는 방법과 지정된 프로토콜들을 실행하기 위한 방법으로소 에이전트 플랜(plan)을 이용하는 방안을 제안한다. 커뮤니티를 구성하는 요소들은 역할(role), 정책(policy), 구성원(member), 프로토콜(protocol)등이며 각각의 요소는 BDI 구조를 가지는 에이전트와 플랜, 목적(goal), 사실(fact)등의 결합으로 표현이 가능하다. 에이전트들은 프로토콜에 나타나는 유형을 서술한 플랜을 통해서 상호작용을 하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 프로토콜을 실행 가능한 플랜으로 변환하기 위한 4가지 유형을 파악하여 각각의 유형을 플랜으로 변환하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 시뮬레이션을 통하여 완전성과 유효성을 보인다.

15년에 걸쳐 수행된 게놈프로젝트의 완성으로 인류는 본격적으로 프로테옴 시대로 접어들게 되었다. 90년대 중반 이후 전세계적으로 다량의 단백질 구조정보 및 예측을 위한 방법들이 소개되고 있지만 각 자원들마다 저장, 관리 형식이 다를 뿐만아니라 이용하는 방법도 어렵다. 또한 결과적으로 컴퓨터기술을 이용한 단백질의 구조예측작업을 제대로 지원하기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 개방형다중 에이전트 시스템을 통해 이를 해결하고자 했으며 특히 단백질 자원 데이터베이스를 효과적으로 이용하기 위한 에이전트 설계방법에 대하여 기술하고자 한다. 단백질 구조 예측 지원을 위해 효과적인 에이전트 내부 구조를 설계함으로써 점차로 요구되는 온톨로지 기술이나, 자동 예측 기능과 같은 다양한 요구사항들을 충족시킬 수 있을 것이다.

It is required to use substantial amount of wet strength resin for producing multi-functional mulch papers since these paper products shold maintain its strength properties when they exposed to outdoor weather for several months. While producing mulch papers it is usual to observe significant amount of foam at white water silo. Thus it is imperative to use defoaming or antifoaming agents. In this study diverse defoaming and antifoaming agents have been tested for their effective-ness in eliminating foams that produced. It was shown that combined use of a silicone type defoamer and a fatty acid type anti-foaming agent was msot effective in eliminating foams. These chemicals were used in trial production of mulch papers and their influence on paper-making wet end system was examined including one pass retention cationic demand con-ductivity pH etc. It was found that the defoaming agents were very effective for removing foams in trial production. Tensile strengths of the mulch papers produced were significantly greater than commericial mulch papers produced in Japan.

In this paper, we present a framework for managing group behaviors in multi-agent swarm systems. The framework explores the benefits by dynamic associations with the proposed artificial potential functions to realize complex swarming behaviors. A key development is the introduction of a set of flocking by dynamic association (DA) algorithms that effectively deal with a host of swarming issues such as cooperation for fast migration to a target, flexible and agile formation, and inter-agent collision avoidance. In particular, the DA algorithms employ a so-called systematic singular association (SSA) rule for fast migration to a target and compact formation through inter-agent interaction. The resulting algorithms enjoy two important interrelated benefits. First, the SSA rule greatly reduces time-consuming for migration and satisfies low possibility that agents may be lost. Secondly, the SSA is advantageous for practical implementations, since it considers for agents even the case that a target is blocked by obstacles. Extensive simulation presents to illustrate the viability and effectiveness of the proposed framework.

We design and implement explicit mobile multicast, named XMIP, by enhancing explicit multicast for a great number of small group multicast communications. XMIP is a straightforward multicast mechanism without maintaining multicast states due to the inheritance from the explicit multicast based on a unicast routing. This research modifies and extends the functionality of each mobility agent of IETF Mobile IP for interworking XMIP XMIP Packets captured by an extended home agent are forwarded to each extended foreign agent through nested tunnels, named X-in-X tunnels, made by the binding table of the extended home agent. X-in-X tunneling mechanism can effectively solve the serious traffic concentration problems of Mobile IP multicast specifications. Finally heterogeneous mobile networks as an XMIP testbed including CDMA2000 1X EV-DO and WLAN are actually established, and a multi-user instant messenger system for small group communications is developed for verifying the feasibility of the proposed protocols.
