Multi-agent systems for semantic web applications require efficient implementation of agent architectures without sacrificing the flexibility and the level of abstraction that agent architectures provide. In this paper, we present an agent system, called VivAce, which is implemented in Java to achieve both high efficiency and the level of abstraction provided by the BDI agent architecture. VivAce (Vivid Agent Computing Environment) has the characteristics of a vivid agent through the BDI agent model. A vivid agent is a software-controlled system whose state comprises the mental components of knowledge, perceptions, tasks, and intentions, and whose behavior is represented by means of action and reaction rules. We first identify the requirements for multi-agent systems and then present the relevant features of VivAce and experimental results.

In this study, based on the principal-agent paradigm, we investigate a joint cost reduction activity in a buyer-supplier supply chain where a buyer motivates its operations department and a supplier to reduce the supply chain's production cost. We construct a benefit-sharing model based on the target cost scheme, a basic philosophy in practice which has not been explored in previous studies. The model also incorporates various supply chain issues such as the cooperation of multiple agents, the opportunity loss, and the degree of strategic relationship between the buyer and the supplier. Based on the analysis of the principal-agent model, we investigate the benefit-sharing rule to control agents' actions, and we also provide important managerial implications into supply chain practices via extensive comparative static analyses.

Recently. many projects have been actively implementing IPsec on the various Operating Systems for security of IPv6 network. But there is no existing tool that checks the IPsec-based systems, which provide IPsec services, work Properly and provide their network security services well In the IPv6 network. In this paper, we design SERDL(Security Evaluation Rule Description Language) and rule execution tool for evaluating security of the IPv6 network, and we provide implementation details. The system Is divided into following parts : User Interface part, Rule Execution Module part, DBMS part and agent that gathering information needed for security test.

The importance of electronic commerce system has been growing rapidly due to development of information technology and acceleration of enterprise e-business. Electronic commerce system must provide convenient interface, easy and fast searching function, and product information satisfied customer's. A study about the system that used a reasoning technique and an Agent technology for this is required. In this paper, we designs electronic commerce system with customer preference and sales agent which is composed of case-based reasoning and rule-based reasoning for high customer satisfaction. Also, we were shown on an appropriateness of a proposal system by an experiment.

Attempts to attack hosts in the network have become diverse, due to crackers developments of new creative attacking methods. Under these circumstances the role of intrusion detection system as a security system component gets considerably importance. Therefore, in this paper, we have suggested multiple intrusion detection system based on the contract net protocol which provides the communication among multiple agents. In this architecture, fuzzy rule based system has been applied for agent selection among agents competing for being activated. The simulation models are designed and implemented based on DEVS formalism which is theoretically well grounded means of expressing discrete event simulation models.

extensible Markup Language (XML) is a new markup language for data exchange on the Internet. In this paper, we propose a language extensible Rule Markup Language (XRML) which is an extension of XML. The implicit rules embedded in the Web pages should be identifiable, interchangeable with structured rule format, and finally accessible by various applications. It is possible to realize by using XRML. In this light, Web based Knowledge Management Systems (KMS) can be integrated with rule-based expert systems. To meet this end, we propose the six design criteria: Expressional Completeness, Relevance Linkability, Polymorphous Consistency, Applicative Universality, Knowledge Integrability and Interoperability. Furthermore, we propose three components such as RIML (Rule Identification Markup Language), RSML (Rule Structure Markup Language) and RTML (Rule Triggering Markup Language), and the Document Type Definition DTD). We have designed the XRML version 0.5 as illustrated above, and developed its prototype named Form/XRML which is an automated form processing for disbursement of the research fund in the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAISI). Since XRML allows both human and software agent to use the rules, there is huge application potential. We expect that XRML can contribute to the progress of Semantic Web platforms making knowledge management and e-commerce more intelligent. Since there are many emerging research groups and vendors who investigate this issue, it will not take long to see XRML commercial products. Matured XRML applications may change the way of designing information and knowledge systems in the near future.

테스터의 간섭없이 테스트를 수행할 수 있는 새로운 테스트 도구인 테스트 에이전트 시스템을 구현하였다. 이 시스템에서 테스터는 테스터 이름, 테스트 시간을 입력하고, 테스트 대상을 선택 후, 그 밖에 테스트에 필요한 정보를 입력하고 나면 테스트 에이전트 시스템이 스스로 테스트를 수행한 후 각 테스트 레벨에 대한 테스트 항목의 테스트케이스와 Quality 측정치를 테스트결과로 받아 볼 수 있다. 이 테스트 에이전트 시스템은 3개의 에이전트로 구성이 되어 있고 각 에이전트들은 에이전트의 특성인 자율성, 사회성, 지능성을 가지고 있다. 특히 지능성을 나타내 주는 것을 규칙 기반 시스템을 이용하여 구현하였다. 'User Interface Agent'에는 '리그래션 테스트 대상 판단 규칙'과 'Test History 크기 관리 규칙'이 있고, 'Test Case Selection '||'&'||' Testing Agent'에는 테스트케이스를 선택하는 데에 적용하는 '중복성 제거 규칙'과 '일관성 있는 테스트케이스 선택 규칙'이 있다. "Regression Test Agent'에서는 리그래션 테스트 관련 항목 찾는 규칙'이 있어 각 에이전트들의 지능성을 뒷받침해 준다. 본 논문에서는 각 규칙들을 술어 논리로 표현하여 제시하였고, 구현한 테스트 에이전트 시스템의 Prototype을 기술한다.

The agent system that can adjust the workload dynamically through thc periodical monitoring of the VoD system comprises the agency part interfacing the VoD system and the intelligence part reasoning or learning the facts required for the adjustment of workload. This paper proposes a learning method that can apply to the intelligence part of the agent system. The proposed method can adjust the workload more efficiently by the rule's reasoning process and case-based learning process. An experiment of implementing a simulator was conducted to see whether or not application of the proposed method to VoD systems is efficient. As a result of the experiment, it was found that the throughput and the average waiting time of the VoD server were relatively improved when the proposed method was applied compared to existing means.

This paper proposes a new fault restoration method which adopts the recloser as top agent to release the problems of the data concentration and fault processing delay of the existing DAS(distribution Automation System) under the ubiquitous distribution system. In proposed method, top agent collects the data based on the multi-casting communication with the tie switches of the interconnection point, and then selects a closed switch(tie switch) to transfer the sound outage load to other feeders based on the heuristic search strategy step by step until the load transfer work is finished. Here, a new heuristic rule is developed which can guarantee the relational load balancing and line loss from the collected voltage data. Finally, the several faults are simulated for typical multi-section and multi-interconnection distribution system to prove the effectiveness of the proposed strategy, in particular, for each simulation cases, the load balancing index and line loss index of the obtained solution from the proposed method is compared with those of all of feasible solutions.
