SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is applied to develop a web based monitoring system for manufacturing processes. SNMP agents in manufacturing facilities collects monitoring data from machine controllers and send them to a web-server to be stored in a database by an SNMP managing agent. Clients can access these data using any web-browser. This study developed these agents and MIB (Management Information Base), a protocol to represent the status of machines, that can be used appropriately to monitor manufacturing processes.

Inference engine that performs the brain of software agent in next generation's web with various standards based on standard language of the web, XML has to understand SWRL (Semantic Web Rule Language) that is a language to express the rule in the Semantic Web. In this research, we want to develop a forward inference engine, SMART-F (SeMantic web Agent Reasoning Tools-Forward chaining inference engine) that uses SWRL as a rule express method, and OWL as a fact express method. In the traditional inference field, the Rete algorithm that improves effectiveness of forward rule inference by converting if-then rules to network structure is often used for forward inference. To apply this to the Semantic Web, we analyze the required functions for the SWRL-based forward inference, and design the forward inference algorithm that reflects required functions of next generation's Semantic Web deducted by Rete algorithm. And then, to secure each platform's independence and portability in the ubiquitous environment and overcome the gap of performance, we developed management tool of fact and rule base and forward inference engine. This is compatible with fact and rule base of SMART-B that was developed. So, this maximizes a practical use of knowledge in the next generation's Web environment.

HTML is unstructured document because of using restricted tag. HTML is difficult to extract data from HTML document. But XML is able to use user definition tag, that is easy to store information. Also XML is easy to extract data from XML document. This is the reason why XML is a standard for data exchange format on the Internet, so XML is fitted to exchange data between heterogeneous DBMSs(DataBase Management System). In this paper, we designed and implemented of XML web agent for data replication between heterogeneous DBMSs. A XML web agent system controls data of DBMS, and generates a XML document from data of DBMS. Also XML web agent is data exchange or replication between heterogeneous DBMS by the medium of XML.

As the use of internet becomes proliferated, a great amount of information is provided through diverse channels. Users require effective information providing service and we have studied the conversational agent that exchanges information between users and agents using natural language dialogue. In this paper, we develop a question answering agent providing the corresponding answer by analyzing the user's intention using artificial intelligence techniques such as pattern matching and Bayesian network We work out various problems in knowledge representation of users by constructing keyword synonym database. The proposed method is applied to designing an agent for the introduction of a fashion web site, which confirms that it responds more flexibly to the user's queries.

In multi-agent systems, How to coordinate the behaviors of the agents through learning is a very important problem. The most important problems in the multi-agent system are to accomplish a goal through the efficient coordination of several agents and to prevent collision with other agents. In this paper, we propose a novel approach by using hybrid learning strategy. It is used hybrid learning strategy to control the multi-agent system efficiently by using the spatial relationship among the agents. Through experiments, we can see approximate faster the goal then other strategies and avoids collision among the agents.

A multi-agent and web based engineering framework concerning the automation of fatigue durability analysis for welded bogie frame of railway vehicles is presented. Mostly, this kind of design or analysis includes complex workflow, huge amounts of information processing, and problem solving. Macro programs of I-DEAS, APDL of ANSYS, and in-house fatigue code are utilized for parametric geometry representation, automatic mesh generation, static stress analysis, fatigue durability analysis, post-processing, and data sorting. The engineering framework is implemented on the JADE. Since every task requires a fairly complex process and specialized knowledge, the multi-agent based framework is very useful to keep the independency among several disciplines or tasks and to use distributed hardware and software resources. All engineering programs are integrated by XML wrapper. Related database of the engineering framework and web based user interfaces are also developed. A parametric study is carried out to take into account the effect of geometrical change of transom support bracket on its cumulative fatigue damage. The developed engineering framework reduced remarkably the time and costs required in designing and solving engineering problems.

Web services are the new building block of today's Internet, and provides interoperability among heterogeneous distributed systems. Recently in web services environment, security has become one of the most critical issues. The hackers attack one of fragile point and can misuse legitimate user privilege because all of the connected devices provide services for the user control and monitoring in real time. Also, the users of web services must temporarily delegate some or all of their rights to agents in order to perform actions on their behalf. This fact risks the exposure of user privacy information. In this paper, we propose secure delegation model based on SAML that provides confidentiality and integrity about the user information in distributed systems. In order to support privacy protection, service confidentiality, and assertion integrity, encryption and a digital signature mechanism is deployed. We build web service management server based on XACML, in order to manage services and policies of web service providers.

Link-based search engines generate the rank using linked information of related web-documents . HITS(Hypertext Internet Topic Search), representative ranking evaluation algorithm using a special feature of web-documents based on such link, evaluates the importance degree of related pages from linked information and presents by ranking information. Problem of such HITS algorithm only is considered the link frequency within documents and depends on the set of web documents as input value. In this paper, we design the search agent based on better HITS algorithm according to advanced suitability between query and search-result in the set of given documents from link-based web search engine. It then complements locality of advanced search performance and result.

Information providers on WWW have been rapidly increasing, and they provide a vast amount of information in various fields, Because of this reason, it becomes hard for users to get the information they want. Although there are several search engines that help users with the keyword matching methods, it is not easy to find suitable keywords. In order to solve these problems with a specific domain, we propose an intelligent information agent(HHA-la : HongIk Information Agent) that converts user's q queries to forms including related domain words in order to represent user's intention as much as it can and provides the necessary information of the domain to users. HHA-la h has an ontological knowledge base of animal domain, supplies necessary information for queries from users and other agents, and provides relevant web page information. One of system components is a WebDB which indexes web pages relevant to the animal domain. The system also supplies new operators by which users can represent their thought more clearly, and has a learning mechanism using accumulated results and user feedback to behave more intelligently, We implement the system and show the effectiveness of the information agent by presenting experiment results in this paper.
