In this paper, we propose new agent discovery and route discovery schemes to support Mobile IP (MIP) in Ad Hoc networks with wireless backbone. The wireless backbone consisting of stationary wireless routers and Internet gateways (IGs) is a kind of wireless access network of IP-based core network. The proposed scheme utilizes favorable features of wireless backbone such as stable links and no energy constraints. In the agent discovery scheme, backbone-limited periodic Agent Advertisement (AA) and proxy-AA messages are used, which reduce network-wide broadcasting overhead caused by AA and Agent Solicitation messages and decentralize MIP processing overhead in IGs. In order to reduce delay time and control message overhead during route discovery far the destination outside Ad Hoc network, we propose a cache-based scheme which can be easily added to the conventional on-demand routing protocols. The proposed schemes can reduce control overhead during agent discovery and route discovery, and efficiently support MIP in Ad Hoc network with wireless backbone.

An agent is an abstract unit for problem solving in the field of distributed artificial intelligence, and an agent-based system is designed and implemented based on the definition of agent as its central concept. Agent modeling is advantageous to abstraction, disintegration and structuring for describing complex system, so its application is increased in various areas including air traffic control, power transmission, e-commerce and medicine. There is no agreed definition of agent but agents have common points as follows: autonomy, reactivity, pro-activeness and cooperation. An agent-oriented modeling is an approach of a concept different form existing object-oriented modeling. This study proposed the agent application for E-Beam manufacturing system. To evaluate the performance of the proposed process design, we used the JADE library. The JADE toolkit provides a FIPA-compliant agent platform and a package to develp Java agents. It provides a basic set of functionalities that are regarded as essential for an autonomous agent architecture.

In traditional approaches to IN load control, there has been a focus on the protection of individual SCPs. On the other hand, the load control of network level can be achieved by using a mobile agent technology, which is a software element responsible for moving from one system to another and performing their task. In this thesis, we propose an mobile agent mechanism and two mobile agent migration procedures and analyze the performance of the Call Gapping mechanism and the mobile agent mechanism. The mobile agent mechanism showed that the SCP load control rate and attempt the number of attempted call failure were better than those of Call Gapping mechanism. Also, the amount of SS NO.7 traffics was reduced in the case of an overload condition.

The success of a porcelain fused to metal (PFM) restoration depends upon the quality of the porcelain-metal bond. The adhesion between metal substructure and dental porcelain is related to the diffusion of oxygen to the reaction layer formed on cast-metal surface during firing. The purposed of this investigation was to study the effects of gold based bonding agent on Ni-Cr alloy-ceramic adhesion between porcelain matrix, gold based bonding agent and metal substructure interface. gold based bonding agent have been applied as an intermediate layer between a metal substructure and a ceramic coating. gold based bonding agent(Aurofilm NP, Metalor, Swiss) was applied on Ni-Cr alloy surface by four method. Surfaces only air abraded with 110${\beta}\neq$ Al2O3 particles were used as control. metal ceramic adhesion was evaluated by a biaxial flexure test(N=5) and volume fraction of adherent porcelain was determined by SEM/EDS analysis. Result of this study suggest that the layering sequence of gold based bonding agent is very important and can improve porcelain adherence to PFM.

In this paper, we proposed an arduino-based smart green house management system model and implemented it. The proposed system consists of control unit composed of sensors and arduino, agent program controlling the green house, and web applications providing user interfaces. The control unit transmits data of sensors such as temperature, humidity, illuminance, moisture, etc. to the agent program, and then the agent saves the data in its database. In reverse, control data are transmitted from agent program to control unit. Users can monitor sensed data of green houses and control actuators remotely using web. Plus, smart green house management is available by context awareness and autonomous control functions of the proposed system.

This paper presents a boundary tracking control of an agent. To this end, it is shown that the boundary tracking problem can be reformulated into a robust control of uncertain double integrator first. Then, a disturbance observer (DOB) based control is proposed solving the robust control problem. Unlike the existing results in the literature, the proposed DOB based control requires only the local position measurement of the boundary (not the gradient information). The performance of the proposed control is demonstrated for two cases: the measurement of the boundary is given in a continuous or discrete manner. Finally, it is shown that the proposed control can be used for environmental monitoring as well by showing that the agent follows a level curve of real environmental monitoring data.

Semantic-based information retrieval techniques understand the meanings of the concepts that users specify in their queries, but the traditional semantic matching methods based on the ontology tree have three weaknesses which may lead to many false matches, causing the falling precision. In order to improve the matching precision and the recall of the information retrieval, this paper proposes a multi-agent improved semantic similarity matching algorithm based on the ontology tree, which can avoid the considerable computation redundancies and mismatching during the entire matching process. The results of the experiments performed on our algorithm show improvements in precision and recall compared with the information retrieval techniques based on the traditional semantic similarity matching methods.

In this paper we propose an agent architecture to improve the flexibility of videoconference systems with strategic-INTER knowledge. The proposed architecture achieves more flexibility by selecting dynamically the strategy of QoS (Quality of Service). To select the strategies, the systems have to take into the consideration of the properties of problems occurred on QoS and the status of problem solving process. This architecture is introduced as a part of knowledge base of agent dealing with cooperation between software modules of videoconference systems. We have implemented the architecture and our prototype system shows its capability of flexible problem solving against the QoS degradation, along with other possible problems within the time limitation. We confirmed that the proposed architecture can improve its flexibility of a videoconference system compared to conventional systems.

This paper presents a simple approximation-based design approach for consensus tracking of heterogeneous second-order nonlinear systems under a directed network. All nonlinearities of followers are assumed to be unknown and non-identical. In the controller design procedure, graph-independent error surfaces are used and an unimplementable intermediate controller for each follower is designed at the first design step. Then, by adding and subtracting a graph-based term at the second step, the actual controller for each follower is designed by using one neural network employed to estimate a lumped and distributed nonlinearity. Therefore, the proposed local controller for each follower has a simpler structure than existing approximation-based consensus tracking controllers for multi-agent systems with unmatched nonlinearities.
