This paper presents the implementation of an integrated messaging gateway (IMG) based on the open services gateway initiative (OSGi) specification to deliver home messages between home and some telecommunication devices. The IMG has four service agents to support a diverse communication channel. In this paper, we describe a software architecture for a seamless messaging and device layouts in the IMG. And then, we detail each components allowing users to be notified automatically through a cellular phone, a telephone, and the Internet.

Transporting a large table using multiple robotic agents requires at least two group behaviors of homing and herding which are to bo coordinated in a proper sequence. Existing GP methods for multi-agent learning are not practical enough to find an optimal solution in this domain. To evolve this kind of complex cooperative behavior we use a novel method called fitness switching. This method maintains a pool of basis fitness functions each of which corresponds to a primitive group behavior. The basis functions are then progressively combined into more complex fitness functions to co-evolve more complex behavior. The performance of the presented method is compared with that of two conventional methods. Experimental results show that coevolutionary fitness switching provides an effective mechanism for evolving complex emergent behavior which may not be solved by simple genetic programming.

Autonomous mobile robot agents(AMRAs) are robots which perform a given task by the same distributed self-organizing rules. In this paper, we let them form an equi-distance circle for the task of cooperative behaviors. Here, we suggest an algorithm to perform the taqk and then utilize a fuzzy system to improve the algorithm. It is shown that various cooperative activities appear in the simulation and particularly chaotic behaviors also appear by increasing the robot speed. Moreover, we prove the characteristics of this chaotic behaviors by calculating Lyapunov exponent.

This paper introduces the multi-vehicle routing problem(MRP) which is different from the traveling sales problem(TSP), and presents the ant system(AS) applied to the MRP. The proposed MRP is a distributive model of TSP since many vehicles are used, not just one salesman in TSP and even some constraints exist. In the AS, a set of cooperating agents called vehicles cooperate to find good solutions to the MRP. To make the proposed MRP extended more, Tokyo city model(TCM) is proposed. The goal in TCM is to find a set of routes that minimizes the total traveling time such that each vehicle can reach its destination as soon as possible. The results show that the AS can effectively find a set of routes minimizing the total traveling time even though the TCM has some constraints.

Business forecasting is vital to the success of business. There has been an increasing demand for building business forecasting software system to assist human being to do forecasting. However, the uncertain and complex nature makes is a challenging work to analyze, design and implement software solutions for business forecasting. Traditional forecasting systems in which their models are trained based on small collection of historical data could not meet such challenges at the information explosion over the Internet. This paper presents an agent oriented business forecasting approach for building intelligent business forecasting software systems with high reusability. Although agents have been applied successfully to many application domains. little work has been reported to use the emerging agent oriented technology of this paper is that it explores how agent can be used to help human to manage various business forecasting processes in the whole business forecasting life cycle.

본 논문은 향후 인터넷 사용의 많은 두 부분이 현재의 인간 사용자에서 지능형 에이전트로 옮겨져 갈 때 현 인터넷 사업 모형에 영향(Impact)으로 작용할 수 있는 요소들을 분석하고, 이로 야기되는 새로운 사업 모형의 출현 및 현 사업 모형에 예상되는 변화에 대하여 살펴보고자 한다. 지능형 에이전트로 인하여 인터넷 사업에 있어서 예상 가능한 주요 변화를 사업 모형 관점에서 제품, 서비스, 정보 흐름(Flow)의 변화, 참여자의 역할(Role)의 변화, 수익원천(Revenue)의 변화, 참여자간의 혜택 (Benefit)의 변화, 비용분담(Cost Distribution)구조 변화라는 다섯 가지 측면에서 현재의 인터넷 사업에 있어서 배너광고 모델, 가격책정 모델, 중개자 모델, 브랜드 및 명성 효과, 디지털 카르텔 등의 주요 현상과 결부시켜 살펴본다. 이를 통하여 향후 지능형 에이전트 기반의 사업 모형에 대비한 전략적 시사점(Imp1ications)을 제공하고자 한다.

인터넷의 웹은 여러 곳에 분산되어 있을 뿐만 아니라 끊임없이 동적으로 변화하는 특성이 있기 때문에, 보통의 인덱스를 통한 정보검색 방법에는 한계가 있다. 이러한 웹의 특성을 적절히 살리면서 원하는 정보를 신속하게 검색하기 위하여, 본 논문에서는 여러 개의 에이전트가 인공생명 기법에 의해 조직되어 정보를 검색하는 온라인 에이전트를 소개한다. 이것은 각각의 에이전트에 의하여 검색된 문서가 얼마나 질의에 가까운가에 따라서 해당 에이전트를 만이 살아 남아 문서를 가져오도록 함으로써, 불필요한 문서를 검색하지 않게 되어 단위 시간에 원하는 문서를 많이 얻어올 수 있는 장점이 있다. 실제 웹 환경에서 실험한 결과 종래의 폭우선 검색이나 랜덤검색에 비하여 좋은 결과를 내는 것을 볼 수 있었다.

We designed a family of completely autonomous mobile robots with local intelligence. Each robot has a number of on-board sensors, including vision, and does not rely on global positioning systems The on-board embedded controller is sufficient to analyze several low-resolution color images per second. This enables our robots to perform several complex tasks such as navigation, map generation, or providing intelligent group behavior. Not being limited to playing the game of soccer and being completely autonomous, we are also looking at a number of other interesting scenarios. The robots can communicate with each other, e.g. for exchanging positions, information about objects or just the local states they are currently in (e.g. sharing their current objectives with other robots in the group). We are particularly interested in the differences between a behavior-based approach versus a traditional control algorithm at this still very low level of action.

Generally, we want to be searched the newest as well as some appropriate personalized information from the internet resources. However, it is a complex and repeated procedure to search some appropriate information. Moreover, because the user's interests are changed as time goes, the real time modeling of a user's interests should be necessary. In this paper, I propose PREA system that can search and filter documents that users are interested from the World Wide Web. And then it constructs the user's interest model by a modified spreading neural network. Based on this network, PREA can easily produce some queries to search web documents, and it ranks them. The conventional spreading neural network does not have a visualization function, so that the users could not know how to be configured his or her interest model by the network. To solve this problem, PREA gives a visualization function being shown how to be made his interest user model to many users.

In contrast to conventional CNC, PC-NC opens a new era for machine tools to be more intelligent. For instance, machine tool with PC-NC can be a machine agent system with capability of reacting autonomously to changing operating conditions. This paper introduces a concept of intelligent machine agent system, composed of machine agent and cell manager. Machine agent performs the functions such as process monitoring, diagnosis, maintenance management, condition assessment and schedule negotiation, while cell manager coordinates the negotiation process among multiple machine agents.
